Josh McCown’s role with Jets isn’t as quarterback babysitter

Josh McCown was at it again Saturday afternoon at Florham Park, being everything you want in a quarterback. Each rep he took was rehearsed as if it was the fourth quarter of a game in December. He encouraged, he instructed and was generally the best kind of teammate anyone could possibly be.

Sam Darnold was nowhere around to witness any of this — the little things it takes to be a quarterback and lead a team. Darnold missed his second straight day of training camp while negotiating his rookie contract. The Jets will put on full pads on Sunday.
