Here's the inherent problem with the idea of drafting a QB every year: There was nothing Petty could do to prevent the team from wanting another QB. There is nothing Hackenberg can do to prevent the team from drafting one next year, and there's nothing that QB can do in a year to prevent the team from drafting another QB. If you draft known projects, it's gonna take longer to see if they even have a chance, so the team is doubling up on options, which in turn is spending assets they could be using elsewhere on a player they're gonna wanna replace in a year. That's a gross misappropriation of assets and it tells the guys you're picking you "we kinda like you but we don't really like you." They burned, a 4, a 2 and maybe a 2 next year for 3 QB's who will never see the field. They coulda did by signing 3 UDFA's off the street and gotten the same results.
I know it's not the Jets' job to live in reality, but reality is gonna slap them in the face before the season's over. Any time a coach or whoever says "he gives us the best chance to win" you're not winning.
