The Facts: Josh McCown, Christian Hackenberg and Bryce Petty all have an equal chance of starting Week One for the Jets, according to head coach Todd Bowles. "It's a competition," Bowles said at the end of minicamp today.
Diehards Line:
Bowles said that contrary to the widespread belief that it’s McCown’s job to lose, he sees all three players as being on the same level and getting the opportunity to separate themselves in training camp and the preseason. “I don’t look at anybody as the front-runner. I just wait until training camp comes and we’ll sort it out then,” Bowles said. ... As PFT summed up: "Only one quarterback can have the job when the season starts. But Bowles doesn’t appear to be in any hurry to choose one of the three." And from a fantasy perspective, nobody is going to be drafting any of the three. We just need somebody who can get the ball to the team's handful of fantasy-relevant prospects.
