Let’s start with the most important position in football: the quarterback. The New York Jets got far better QB play out of a 38-year-old Josh McCown than anyone expected. Before his season-ending injury, McCown was on pace to throw for 21 touchdowns, 11 interceptions, and over 3,600 yards. McCown wasn’t the only pleasant surprise in the Jets passing game.
In just his second season in the league, Robby Anderson had 941 yards and seven touchdowns. We should expect him to be a part of the Jets future. Yet another pleasant surprise came from Jermaine Kearse.
