‘Triple-edged sword’: Why Bowles is secretive about QB choice

Todd Bowles isn’t losing any sleep over his quarterback decision.

The Jets coach has a pretty good idea which way he’s leaning in Gang Green’s quarterback derby, and so do his assistants. He’s just not ready to tell the players — or anybody outside the building.

“Sometime next week … maybe,” Bowles said. Asked if he wakes up at night fretting over the decision, he replied, “Not really, no.”

Is Bowles struggling with it?

“Not really, no.”

Bowles’ all-but-made decision is among veteran incumbent Josh McCown, camp standout Teddy Bridgewater and highly touted rookie Sam Darnold, the perceived prohibitive favorite.
