Jets’ search for next Joe Namath needs to end at this draft

I have seen every one of The Quarterbacks Who Would Be Joe Namath, the Good, the Bad and the Ugly since the first torch was passed in 1977.

The Good: Four AFC Championship appearances.

The Bad: Sorry, we don’t have the time.

The Ugly: Mud Bowl, Buttfumble, IK Enemkpali.

Forty-nine years after Super Bowl III, Mike Maccagnan and the Jets, with the third pick, will be drafting their next franchise quarterback Thursday night. (Broadway Baker Mayfield, anyone?)

The Jets are beyond due.

Maccagnan, who drafted Christian Hackenberg after drafting Bryce Petty, is beyond due.
