The emergence of the young New York Jets

Offense Position by Position

New York Jets v Denver Broncos

The other side of the ball is especially crucial taking into account the fact that people had no hope in Josh McCown and the offense. At quarterback, Josh McCown was considered by most to be the worst QB in the whole league, but he certainly doesn’t look like a bottom of the league QB this year. McCown's ability to scramble when in trouble in the pocket is severely underrated and helped them in games against the Chiefs and the Bills the second time.

McCown’s toughness in the pocket and chemistry with Robby Anderson and Jermaine Kearse have made him a solid passer in the pocket. The speed and quickness combined with the route running skills of Robby Anderson make him a difficult cover for the best corners as shown by him getting six touchdowns in the last five weeks with at least one in each of those games.

Jermaine Kearse is more of a consistent all-year receiver that can run any route and make plays for the team at the most crucial times. He and McCown both provide a sense of veteran leadership to keep a young team focused at all times.

The offensive line has had trouble protecting McCown, as evidenced by hi, being one of the most sacked quarterbacks in the NFL.
