McCown will open the regular season as the Jets' starting quarterback.
Per coach Todd Bowles, McCown gives the Jets "the best chance to win right now." While the veteran signal-caller's Week 1 assignment has been settled on, the team's backup pecking order has yet to be solidified. Since entering the league in 2002, McCown has never appeared in all 16 games, so it remains to be seen how long the 38-year-old's latest starting gig lasts. With Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker no longer on the team, and Quincy Enunwa (neck) out for the season, McCown is slated to work with an unproven wideout corps, now headed by Robby Anderson. Given that context, we'd expect the Jets to lean toward a ground game featuring the duo of Bilal Powell and Matt Forte.
