Apparently Christian Hackenberg - at one time thought to have the natural talent and potential to be the #1 overall pick in the draft - is so bad in Jets camp that they are scrambling to salvage the second round pick. To wit:
- He is the only drafted QB in the league (out of 15) who hasn't played in the preseason.
- His practice reps are so terrible the team has to make excuses about them (e.g. 2 for 12 in a recent scrimmage) with much commentary on his terrible mechanics. http://www.nj.com/jets/index.ssf/2016/08/jets_christian_hackenberg_starting_to_get_more_rep.html
- The NY Daily News beat writer is suggesting they should fake an injury and stash him on the IR list for the full year. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/jets/solution-jets-qb-problems-place-christian-hackenberg-ir-article-1.2762297
Nice work Coach Franklin! #developedhere.
