Keidel: Life Without Fitzpatrick Would Be Scary For Jets, Their Fans

Perhaps the longest staring contest since Elway vs. the Colts has plunged into the theater of the absurd.

If you were told your team went 10-6 last year behind a quarterback who set team records, would you be so quick to unload him?

That’s where Jets fans are right now, too many of whom can’t wait to end the fruitful Ryan Fitzpatrick experiment. And it’s not like they have a young John Elway at the ready.

Talent evaluators often overvalue quarterbacks, but they rarely undervalue them. So when they wince at Christian Hackenberg’s accuracy and mechanics, that should raise a few flags.
