Memo to Jets: More not always merrier when it comes to quarterbacks

A look at what's happening around the New York Jets:

1. Four! It might seem crazy to some, but the Jets are trending toward keeping four quarterbacks on the 53-man roster. Some perspective: In 2015, nearly half the teams (15) opened the season with only two quarterbacks, while 17 (including the Jets) began with three on the roster, according to ESPN Stats & Information. The most recent team to carry four was the 2013 Washington Redskins.

Recent history shows that a four-man depth chart doesn't equate to team success or help the development of young passers.
