That the New York Jets have to turn to 36-year-old, unvaccinated, been-with-the-team-less-than-a-month Joe Flacco says just about everything you need it to for this franchise.
On Tuesday night the Jets rang Flacco, for whom they traded in late October, to tell him he'd start Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. He can handle the blitzing better than young Mike White, and with Zach Wilson out, he's their only hope. Or so it goes.
It shows just how bad off this franchise is. It has mangled its quarterback position at various points across a decade and a couple of general managers, including current GM Joe Douglas. Not that Wilson isn't the long-term answer -- he might be! and it's far too early to make that assessment -- but that this is what they have when the No. 2 overall pick misses a few weeks is putrid.
