Todd Bowles plans to keep Christian Hackenberg in bubble wrap

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- With Josh McCown sidelined, and with their playoff chances reduced to a flicker, the New York Jets have an opportunity to evaluate their two young quarterbacks over the final three games. Bryce Petty is the new starter, as he should be, but why not give Christian Hackenberg a cameo off the bench? He's 29 games into his career and has yet to take a single snap.

Free Hack!

Coach Todd Bowles, apparently not the experimenting type, reiterated on Wednesday that Petty is the starter, adding he has no plans to use Hackenberg for the sake of getting him on the field.
