    Creative answer but I'm not buying it lol

    McCown is a waste just like he was a waste last year on the Browns...do we not learn

    That's the whole point!!!!

    The team isn't going to be worth a shit with or without McCown

    So why dump 6 million?!?!?

    $6 million is chump change. That could have likely kept Mangold on the team.

    Mangold was dumped before mccown was in the picture and irrelevant.

    Because nobody on the damn roster can throw a football worth a shit. Mccown is 2-20 in the last 22 games, I believe someone said....yet somehow last year he still put 340 on the Jets. He's had shit teams. New coach has worked with him before. Leadership qualities that can convey the message to the players. Is it ideal? Hell no! Is it even good? Hell no. But it's still better than anyone on the team. If you think coaches and Gm are gonna scrap their season before the draft, you should try to sabotage your own job for next year and see how that goes. The guy can throw a ball. He's taken a billion hits, but he's still better than anything they have. It's 6 million ffs

    The hell it is. It goes to philosophy. Mangold had a cap number of $9 million. He had some injuries last year but has played more consistently than McCown. They could have likely renegotiated him down to $6mil or even lower. He wanted to retire a Jet. Now he may retire a NY Football Giant. Nick fucking Mangold.

    It's irrelevant. They wanted him gone. They never even brought him in to tell him. They called him at Disney. One has nothing to do with the other.

    Just stop with the defending of McCown....He had 11 turnovers in 5 games with a completion % barely over 50%. Yea this was with a horrendous team but the Jets won't be much better around him next season. Sorry if it bothers me that we are paying for something like this. It's an absolute waste

    We effectively scrapped our season way before Josh McCown....A sports team rebuilding or even tanking does not translate to a real world job. There are actual benefits for a sports team to rebuild with youth and effectively tank

    Who is defending mccown? I'm just not seeing the reason to dangle from my shoelaces for something which ultimately turns out to be 2 million difference if you keep geno at 4m. You're talking about the Browns man. The staff should be fired for petty, hack, Revis, not being able to adjust during the game. Not having any fire or purpose. The list is long. Signing mccown is hardly a reason. Go look at his highlight films and tell me hack or petty can play like that, even from last year.

    Hate to break it to you, but you'd be hard pressed to find a 3rd year coach that's willing to go 1-15 the get a better pick in not this draft, the next draft. It's absurd to think it. They think the cost of having mccown for 1 year is worth it. You don't.

    I don't care if Hack or Petty can play equal or better than McCown..The point is we wouldn't have to waste money on them and they may have some upside

    The point is with a rebuilding squad McCown offers nothing positive besides leadership (lol)

    If both Hack and Petty are really that awful I have serious doubts about Mac and the scouts but that's another issue

    McCown might get us to 2-14 and that's without him getting concussed or breaking an ankle or something else

    He doesn't move the needle at this point...hate to break it to everyone

    Who is not a waste? They want a veteran presence and an option if all hell breaks loose. In my opinion any QB that could play all of 17 and prevent Hack from seeing the field is a waste. That leaves McCown and Daniel.

    If all hell breaks loose just let it...a bandaid approach has held back this franchise for as long as I can remember

    That is the heart of my complaints here

    No need to.. Everyone knows this franchise.. They would be doing Petty a huge favor by cutting him.

    This is worthy of an eye roll at best. The cost is minimal. Having someone experienced next to your green guys gives them more confidence. Apparently they felt he was worth 6m. I refuse to get mad. I'd be mad if they signed cutler, Romo or Glennon even. Mccown is a non-issue for me. He's cheap and experienced. Kinda like yer mom :) kidding...Couldn't resist the temptation

    LOL

    I'll agree he's the best of the shit options but the money still bothers me. And it's fully guaranteed even more LOL

    Just hope Hack is the real deal out of nowhere and all will be forgiven
