If nothing else, New York Jets quarterback Josh McCown has been around the block a few times. The National Football League franchise is not looking at that as a negative, but as something the Jets can use over the course of the next few weeks.

Are you ready for what some might deem as absurd? Too bad.

The New York Jets would like Josh McCown, while the journeyman gunslinger is on the IR, to serve as a player-coach.

And away we go!

“Yes, I can see that in him,” Bowles said at his Thursday press conference, via PFT. “If that’s what he wants to do, I can see him being an excellent coach when he’s done playing. … He has a feel for people, the way he sees the game, the way he relates to people is very important, and he can put all that together.”

To be relatively fair, one doesn't have to be a historically great player to become a good-to-great coach in the National Football League.

McCown, who is done for the season, has already hinted at the idea that this might have been his last season playing football. For him, maybe less so for the Jets, this can be a good dry run at seeing if being a coach is a profession he would like to undertake.
