New York Jets. Todd Bowles. 1. player. 30. .

With the way that this season has gone for the New York Jets, head coach Todd Bowles is just desperately trying to hold on to his job. Coming off of a 41-10 beatdown from the Colts, the Jets are now 3-9 and are looking like one of the worst teams in the league.

Things have now gotten so bad in New York that Bowles has announced backup QB Bryce Petty will be starting under center for the final four games instead of Ryan Fitzpatrick. While the Jets probably aren’t going to pick up many more wins, their players are at least going to want to take down a terrible San Francisco 49ers team this week.

Petty has played a little bit this season, but it hasn’t been pretty when he’s been out on the field. In 59 pass attempts, Petty has already thrown three interceptions while posting just a 59.8 passer rating. Many are wondering why the Jets aren’t giving second-round pick Christian Hackenberg a chance to get some playing time, but it’s unlikely that he’d be much better.

If Petty and the Jets can’t take down a 1-11 49ers team this week, then fans are going to be livid, and they’ll likely be more receptive to another head coach taking over the rebuilding process in 2017.
