Wayne Chrebet thinks Jets need a veteran backup QB, perhaps Nick Foles

New York Jets legend Wayne Chrebet knows a thing or two about the unexpected concept of working with a backup quarterback.

Following his career-best 1998 campaign—a year that ended in the AFC title game—Chrebet had to work with three reserve passers, including the Jets’ full-time punter, Tom Tupa, for all but one period of the ensuing season.

In the latest episode of The Underdog Jets Podcast, Chrebet and Jet X co-founder Robby Sabo talked about the Jets’ current backup passing plan as training camp got underway in Florham Park.
