What happens if McKown pulls a Fitzmagic

You know it’s going to happen. Time is a flat circle.

We’ll destroy Buffalo.

Have the bye to sneak out an upset win over New England.

Bowles will say Darnold is still healing and start McCown on our way to 6-10.

It will still be the end for Bowles because you can't say he has done his job "developing" Darnold. Especially if he uses an injury as an excuse to eke out a win or two.

Enough to mess things up. 3 more wins are probably enough to drop us out of the top 10 to the middle of the pack, and MAYBE save Bowles job. We have the Bills twice and remember someone said FitMagic (he beat the Pats once). In addition to the wins, Bowles can claim that the other losses were due to Darnold. That would suck

6-10 doesn’t do it I think. 7-9 I think is the number. So 4 wins

I personally wouldn't mind Darnold sitting for an extended period.

I say cut the kid and declare McCown the starter for next four seasons. Even before we sign him. At least the offense will be interesting again. Until we play winning teams then it will be the same as it ever was.

Why would it matter? The Jets aren't going anywhere this season and McCown isn't the future.

Because Todd Bowles believes wins will save his job, and he gets to call the shots.. he should have never been given an extension 

[isired]

Against the Bills? Nothing.

Against the Pats? Now you can think

This. I would have expected Sam to light up the Bills at home as well.

Luckily, Bowles already made it very clear that Darnold is the team's QB the rest of the year. So this is a 1 week gig for Mccown.

What would have happened if Bowles started a slightly injured Darnold who then get seriously injured? Would you be upset that he forced Darnold to play hurt and wasn't looking out for the future of the team? 
I hate Bowles, but there is no reason to play Darnold at anything less than 100pct. The week off will get him healed both physically and mentally. 

[MDL_JET]

Bowles stated Darnold might be active as a back up??? How does that make any sense. Either he’s healthy enough to play or should be inactive. God he’s terrible.

I bet a decision has already been made on Bowles, one way or the other. We're not making the playoffs, and it's a young team so not likely to quit on the coach. A few wins, or not, really should t make much of a difference. Either they're happy with the job he's done or they're not, and I dont imagine much could change it.

Im just playing devil’s advocate. I cant stand Bowles. He’s terrible. He should be gone. They’re gonna think Bowles is gonna develop Darnold? I think its painfully obvious he can’t.

Yeah I don’t actually expect this. It was just be so Jets and so Bowles.

I hope so. But What does bowles have to lose ? Maybe he thinks he can change their minds with more wins. Or maybe he is auditioning for new HC Job next yr

Don't get me wrong, I don't know which way it will go - just that the next 8 games probably won't influence their decision. They may have decided that he gets another year. I hope not, but I don't know.

I agree 100%. Now let’s field this likely scenario.. McCown does well, jets win this sun. What will be your excuse for Bowles playing McCown over a very healthy darnold ?

Darnold returns when he is healthy.  I really do not see any scenario where we stick with McCown as long as Sam is healthy.

Other than when he is healthy and the team is faking an injury to give him a break?

Well if the coach says he's fine, what's the big deal. You don't want to put your young franchise QB in harms way. It's the same in baseball. Treat the young players with caution

[UnitedWhofans]

This all is like that fan who called saying "I would rather Darnold suck so Bowles could get fired" You're afraid McCown will get the Jets to 7 wins and save Bowles' job.

Utter madness.

Do you trust him? You know athletes. They will forego pain to play any time

[UntouchableCrew]

I saw on twitter than Bowles said the job is Darnold's when he's healthy regardless of how McCown plays. Am I missing something?

It's a competitive nature though. However, even if he could play, I support the Jets for airing on the side of caution. BEcause if he played hurt and got hurt even worse, then you have a bigger problem

Bowles already said that Darnold is the starter when healthy. If Bowles came out and said, "we will see how Mccown plays and take it from there" then I could see your angst, but Bowles made it clear today that Darnold is going to start when he is healthy.

Let's also remember that everyone bashed Bowlesfor not starting Hack at the end of last year. Turned out there was a reason and it wasn't Bowles stubbornness it was the team already knowing Hack sucked. You give kids PT when they earn it, not just to appease the fan base. So this notion that Bowles will stick with Bowles all season based on crap from last year is just ridiculous.
