Sometimes you end up 10-5-1, sometimes 1-15.
Sometimes a rookie quarterback takes his first steps toward superstardom, sometimes a fill-in comes through in the only significant season of his career.
Sometimes a new coach does not make it to the end of his first year, sometimes a Hall of Fame coach rallies late, then moves on
There is one thing that can be said for certain about 0-3 starts: They are not a good idea, not in 1965, when the Jets first did it, nor in 2019, when it happened to them for the ninth time, and for the first time since 2003.
