Tim Boyle couldn’t do anything to move the Jets offense in Friday’s loss to the Dolphins, but Robert Saleh said after the game that the third-string quarterback will get another chance as the starter.
C-Mac can’t believe that is the response after Boyle’s dud, though it is on par with other inexplicable quarterback decisions the Jets have made since before the season even began.
“You can’t go back to Boyle. You have to go to Siemian,” C-Mac said. “But they won’t. I don’t understand it. I don’t understand anything they’ve done with the quarterback position all year long, quite honestly, from building the team.”
Nathaniel Hackett was a big part of their quarterback plan this season, as his close relationship with Aaron Rodgers helped bring the future Hall of Famer to New York. While he knows Hackett isn’t going anywhere, C-Mac says Friday’s showing from Boyle should be as big of a demerit to Hackett’s performance this year as anything else.
“For all the stuff we give Hackett and all the crap this guy deserves…for the way this offense looks, to me, the way Boyle played in that game is the biggest indictment, because he is familiar with this system,” C-Mac said. “You coached him before. For this to actually happen is just and out-and-out disaster, for him to actually look like that and play that way, and the offense to be that inept again.”
