When it comes to quarterback moves, New York Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan is batting .250, including a home run and a strikeout.
He traded for Ryan Fitzpatrick (homer), drafted Bryce Petty in the fourth round (fly out), drafted Christian Hackenberg in the second (ground out) and re-signed Fitzpatrick for $12 million (strikeout).
Maccagnan will get one, maybe two more at-bats, starting with free agency. (The "legal tampering" period opens at noon Tuesday.) How he performs will determine whether this rebuilding project will succeed or fail. His quarterback plan will either start the franchise toward prosperity or continue a downward spiral that will cost him his job.
