The New York Jets decided to give the keys to Tyrod Taylor to run the offense, something that not all fans agree with.
While the Jets are in a better position to win games with Taylor under center rather than Justin Fields, it's also important to note that he's 36 years old, and there's obviously no long-term future with the veteran quarterback.
Unfortunately for the Jets, there aren’t exactly a slew of options to make their starting quarterback outside of Taylor and Fields, unless they want to go with Brady Cook, an undrafted rookie out of the University of Missouri.
Some Jets fans have asked for Cook to get starts, but it doesn't seem like a possibility right now. Head coach Aaron Glenn stated that Cook still has things to figure out, so it almost feels like a pipe dream at this point.
According to Rich Cimini of ESPN, however, while it might be unlikely to see Cook in the near future, it’s very possible that he’ll get some game action down the line.
"A lot of fans are interested in knowing if rookie quarterback Brady Cook, on the practice squad, will see game action this season. It sounds like a possibility, though not any time soon," Cimini wrote. "Glenn said they have a plan for Cook, adding, 'And who knows? We'll see what happens as the season progresses. I'm not promising anything, but he knows exactly what his role is when it comes to this team.'
"Cook, undrafted out of Missouri, played 77 snaps in the preseason, beating out Adrian Martinez for the practice squad job. He's known as a quick processor with good mobility but limited arm strength. Fans are always intrigued by the unknown, and their desperation for a quarterback has made Cook a popular guy these days. He certainly has a name -- 'Brady' -- that makes you think anything is possible."
It's not the worst idea to give someone like Cook an opportunity to play, because even if he doesn't perform well, it’s not as if the Jets are in a position to worry about that.
Frankly, they could use all the help they can get on the offensive side of the football, so anything should be viewed as a positive at this point.
