Well, the 2018 season is in the books.\u00a0 Todd Bowles has been shown the door after a disastrous 4-12 season and there are plenty of decisions to be made once his replacement has been found.\u00a0 Mike Maccagnan is going to be retained and will be heavily involved in selecting the team’s new head coach.\u00a0 As for the players, how did they grade out from top to bottom?\u00a0 Here’s a look at the key names still on the 53-man roster for now and how they graded out this season and what the future may hold.\u00a0 Some are pending free agents who could be brought back and others are under contract for the 2019 season.<\/p>\n
Quarterbacks:<\/strong><\/p>\n Sam Darnold: B<\/p>\n All things considered, this thing went just about how fans had hoped in terms of realistic expectations.\u00a0 There were some struggles early on, but after missing a few games with a foot injury, Darnold came back over the season’s last four weeks and looked like a new man.\u00a0 After throwing 11 touchdowns to 14 interceptions in his first nine starts, Darnold would throw six TD’s and just one interception in weeks 14-17.\u00a0 After nearly fifty years, the Jets have their quarterback.<\/p>\n Josh McCown: C-<\/p>\n McCown was terrible on the field this season, but earned high praise from Darnold in terms of having a veteran to watch and learn from as the season progressed. McCown has hinted at playing next season but the Jets would be wise to try to talk him in to a coaching gig.\u00a0 If not, $1 million to be the team’s second or third QB sounds reasonable.<\/p>\n
