McCown is on the verge of Fitzpatrick-ing the Jets. He's having his best season ever, has already tied his career high in TDs and will easily blow by his career marks in yardage and completion percentage in the last 7 games of the season.
The Jets will finish 8-8 or 9-7 and miss the playoffs, but there will be HOPE. Why draft a QB high next year when they can just ride the wave of success that is Josh McCown? Then in 2018, McCown will revert back to his usual self, the team will win 4 or 5 games and Jets fans will point to 2019 as the year they tank to get an elite QB in the 2020 draft.
