The Chicago Bears declined to name a QB1 before the New York Jets game.
Oh, Ben Johnson, you rude bastard.
Don’t think the Jets have enough to worry about week to week? Now we have to spend time thinking about who is playing quarterback? Good sadness!
“The direction is set, so we’ll be fine for Sunday” … “It’s not that hard for me” … “I feel really good about all three quarterbacks in that room. And I know all three of them can win ballgames for us,” Johnson said this week via ESPN’s Courtney Cronin.
It’s not Caleb Williams, who is dealing with a multi-week hamstring injury. It’s down to the old man, Case Keenum, or the promised prince, typical QB2 Tyson Bagent.
I’m sure we’re all on the edge of our seats for this decision, but for the Jets it’s pretty simple. In either scenario, you’re dealing with a backup QB, whether it’s the second-string or third-string guy.
To channel my inner Adrian from Rocky II, “There’s one thing I want you to do for me. Come here. Win.”
Jets, you’re dealing with someone’s backup. You have a natural advantage. Take advantage of it. Find a way to win on the road, get back to .500, and take control of your season while it hangs in the balance early.
