Despite signing and this offseason, the are prepared to let , , compete for the starting quarterback job during his first summer in the NFL, unlike many other highly drafted quarterbacks in recent years, including this year's No. 1 overall pick, John Brown Jersey Baker Mayfield. On Wednesday, during an appearance on "The Rich Eisen Show," Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan indicated that "Nothing's been predetermined one way or another," Maccagnan said. "There's a chance for anything on the table. Nothing's been sort of set in stone in terms of how we're going to do this in terms of a firm time frame. But he's going to have every opportunity and we'll see Patrick Peterson Women Jersey how it develops going forward." Still, it sounds like the Jets won't play him unle s he demonstrates that he's far and away ready for the NFL. "We're going to basically expose him to everything," Maccagnan said. "We're going to give him the opportunity to go out there to (learn and earn) the position. But, of course, our focus is not nece sarily to throw him into the fire until he's earned it. ... He's going to have every opportunity to go out there and hopefully fulfill all the potential we see in him." For the past couple of seasons, the NFL has been trending toward a league that lets rookie quarterbacks begin their careers on the bench. began his rookie Teddy Bridgewater Men Jersey season behind . was until the traded away on the eve of the season. waited for his turn behind . was backup in Week 1. garnered only one start in his rookie season. in Cleveland. But the Jets aren't dismi sing Darnold's chances to beat out the likes of McCown and Bridgewater. Darnold's primary competitor will probably the veteran in McCown rather than Bridgewater, whose health is still unknown. A year ago, McCown played admirably for the Jets despite his age (38 Leonard Floyd Youth Jersey ) and limited skillset, completing 67.3 percent of his pa ses for 2,926 yards, 18 touchdowns, nine picks, and a 94.5 pa ser rating in 13 games. He was good enough that Don't overlook Bridgewater, though., but he's only made one appearance since he suffered a tragic knee injury on the eve of the 2016 season. Though Bridgewater features some upside -- after all, he's a 25-year-old former first-round pick -- the uncertainty regarding his knee makes it difficult to predict how he'll fare in New York. Really, the door is wide open for Darnold to win the job. It'll be le s about McCown's performance during training camp and the summer (he's C.J. Gardner Johnson Jersey a known commodity at this point in his never-ending career) and more about how Darnold adapts to the NFL. If Darnold can't win the job in his first summer, nobody should panic. Being brought along slowly can be the best outcome for a young quarterback while getting rushed can just as easily ruin a young quarterback's career before he really even has a chance to blo som.
