    If there's one thing that has become abundantly clear from the ' behavior over the last several months, it's that they don't consider ready to play in the . Unle s he's secretly playing great football and they're just waiting to unleash him on the rest of the unsuspecting world.That seems unlikely considering , it's been said , some , Todd Bowles said Dave Henderson Jersey and Woody Johnson said he could .It's po sible signing this offseason was a red herring and Hackenberg is going to unleash his fury on the AFC East. Regardle s, Jets legend Joe Namath feels it's time to go ahead and start the young man Jurickson Profar Jersey and see what he's got."I would like to see Hackenberg," Namath said at a United Way Gridiron Gala in New York City, . "I think we need someone for the future." Well, yes! The Jets' quarterback situation has been a long-haul disaster since, well, Namath was the quarterback. Maybe you go back and say that in 2009 and 2010 was fine, but he never fully justified his status as a top-five pick in the (especially one who cost additional capital to move up and get).And what Namath wants from the position is a "guy who can win a , Josh Phegley Jersey " which is just the easiest thing to do in the world. No offense to McCown."This is no reflection on Josh," Namath said. "He's a proven veteran and brings a lot to the team. But realistically, you want to make the playoffs, win a Super Bowl. We have to get the guy who can do that. Mike Fiers Jersey " And therein lies the rub. The Jets want a quarterback who can win a Super Bowl, but they also can't throw Hackenberg into the fire if he's not ready to play. That would greatly diminish his ability to win a Super Bowl in the future.On the other hand, Hackenberg could play this year, play terribly and the Jets could win one game (or le s?), setting the franchise up to grab out of or , 's Josh Allen.Either way, if the Jets aren't willing to play Hackenberg in 2017, it's going to tell us a lot about their investment in a second-round Terry Steinbach Jersey pick from 2016.
