now the jets want him?
why? why why why why????
never has a luckier person played in the nfl.
it's not like he ever achieved anything.
what did he ever accomplish?
what a travesty.
the jets are the jets and always will be.

I would not say he is any luckier than your buddy Ryan Tannehill. Wide receiver drafted as a starting QB who is getting a contract extension after not accomplishing anything, not to mention his hot wife.

[Nacho]

tannehill can only hope to be 35 years old and have done nothing--zero zip nada--and still be in the nfl.
mccown has been atrocious while tannehill has been average.
i would take tannehill in a millisecond over that bum mccown.

Josh MCcown is the Steve Deberg of his day. He will fit well with the Jets...and remember - DeBerg went to the Super Bowl at age 45 after 7 teams (Oldest player to ever be on a Super Bowl Roster)

[AustinPerson]

I wonder if guys like McCown who go from team to team each year make enough money to really make this thing a financial reality. Your 20s and 30s are a good time to start building a career.

[Nacho]

deberg actually had a lower passer rating than mccown.
76.1 to 74.2.
maybe mccown will play into his 80s just to spite me.

I don't know the numbers exactly, but the minimum salary for a 5 year vet is way over 500K. So yeah, I think he is doing just fine.

McCown is a consummate professional. He prepares very hard and he doesn't screw things up when he is in the game. He is exactly what you want from a backup QB in the NFL.

[leopold]

I could be wrong, I believe he was making $2M as a backup with the Bears. So money isn't the issue with him.

Congrats to him, hope he continues to do well. That being said, the Jets seem like the kiss of death to anybody not named Namath or Ken O'Brien.

[Grant Carter]

He made $4.75 million in 2014. I hope someone he trusts passes along the excellent advice that he needs to quit and start building a career.

[Treadway21]

Norm is on now speculating the McCown might be a target for the cowboys as romo's back up.

Can't tell if you're being serious.. Go make 60g a year or ride the 4.5 million pony till it quits? Is that a serious question?! And he's been in the league 12 years making millions hand over fist. I'm sure by this point he has paid financial advisors and been pointed in the right direction so he'll never have to work another day in his life after he reitres from football. Hell if he had just saved adequately and not invested any of his money he'd still have plenty to sustain him over his life time if he didn't love TOO luxuriously.

Go get a job? What a joke. He could retire.and start a coaching career right away if he wanted/needed a job anyway

If he made 100g a year working a job after he retired it'd take him 45 years just to make what he did last year. Nah, I think he's okay.

[couch 'em]

Only at an SMU board is a million dollar income not a serious career

I was responding to AustinPerson who indicated maybe he should be starting a career. I am sorry if this offends you but the fact you did not pick up the sarcasm in my post has caused me to question your intelligence.

[Nacho]

a silent prayer that josh is not the new backup qb for the cowboys.
i pray that he is the backup for the texans although they would probably make him their starter.

[AustinPerson]

I did not know that McCown made that much money. I don't keep up with NFL contracts since I am not in the Leigh Steinberg business.
