The casual fan knows it, the die-hard fan know it, and despite the fact that he may not do anything about it, Todd Bowles knows it.\u00a0 It’s time for Bryce Petty to take over at quarterback for the New York Jets.<\/p>\n

Gang Green travelled down to Tampa today and suffered an embarrassing 15-10 loss<\/strong><\/a> at the hands of the Ryan Fitzpatrick-led Bucs in a game that saw the Jets offense score just 3 points before a garbage-time TD pass from Josh McCown to wide receiver Robby Anderson.<\/p>\n

A feel-good win against the Buffalo Bills last week does not erase the fact that with McCown under center, the team is 1-4 in its last five games.\u00a0 Surely they can get a similar performance with Bryce Petty getting some valuable live reps while also drawing some conclusions about his future with the team.\u00a0 If Petty isn’t going to be a starter, will he at least earn the label of “quality back-up” moving forward?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Todd Bowles has some big decisions to make during his team’s bye week.<\/p><\/div>\n

If there’s ever a good time to break in a new quarterback, it’s now.\u00a0 They’ve lost four of five heading in to their bye week.\u00a0 This allows Petty extra time to prepare, and it gives offensive coordinator John Morton ample time to make a smooth transition to Petty.<\/p>\n

Todd Bowles however, has earned a reputation as a head coach who will often play his veterans over a youngster when a change may be in order.\u00a0 If that trend continues with McCown, one would have to believe that Bowles has been given no assurances from ownership that he’ll be around next season, and that he’s coaching for his job.\u00a0 If that’s the case, the blame shouldn’t’ be pinned on Bowles if he truly believes McCown is the Jets’ best option at the moment.<\/p>\n

If Bowles has been told he’ll return as long as the team’s effort remains high and improvement from his young players is evident, he’s not doing himself or the franchise any favors by sticking with the veteran in McCown.<\/p>\n

The time is now, Todd.\u00a0 We all know it, so please do something about it.\u00a0 It’s Petty time.<\/p>\n
