FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- One of the New York Jets' objectives this season is to evaluate and develop (they hope) Christian Hackenberg. But instead of giving him the best chance to succeed, they put him in a tough spot by dismantling the receiving corps in the offseason.
The degree of difficulty spiked again on Monday, when the Jets announced No. 1 receiver Quincy Enunwa will have season-ending neck surgery.
Rotten luck and questionable personnel moves have created an almost impossible situation for Hackenberg and the other quarterbacks, Josh McCown (the likely starter) and Bryce Petty.
