“#Time for Jets to see what actually works and scrap the rest<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n The Jets will enjoy their first victory of the 2020 season on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Because they cannot lose.<\/p>\n

They have no game<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Jets can\u2019t lose again and fall to 0-5 \u2026 not until next Sunday, when they play the Cardinals, anyway.<\/p>\n

The Jets, at 0-4 and with no hope of ending their playoff drought at a decade, have little choice at this point, with 12 remaining games, but to make do with what they have.<\/p>\n

They have a few options, beginning with tanking the rest of the way to position themselves for the No. 1 overall draft pick and Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence.<\/p>\n

Along the way, they can see what they have on the roster that\u2019s salvageable.<\/p>\n

They can gather more information \u2014 as much as they can with a roster that\u2019s not stocked with offensive skill-position talent \u2014 about quarterback Sam Darnold.<\/p>\n

They can figure out whether he is the franchise quarterback we\u2019ve all assumed he is, or whether the last three years is a proper sample size to peg him as a solid player who\u2019s not special.<\/p>\n

This is about all the Jets have left to play for in 2020: Finding out more about what they have, who they want to keep and weeding out the players who won\u2019t help them in the future.<\/p>\n

Jets fans, who embrace Adam Gase about as much as they cherish a visit to the DMV or the dentist, held out some hope that the head coach would be fired after Thursday night\u2019s home loss to the Broncos.<\/p>\n

Fans always want their pound of flesh, their scapegoat, for messes created. And make no mistake: The 2020 Jets are a mess \u2014 rebuilding be damned.<\/p>\n

As my Post colleague Brian Costello so accurately pointed out in Saturday\u2019s editions, the one person who\u2019s been skating somewhat scot-free during this ugly first month of the season has been general<\/a> manager Joe Douglas.<\/p>\n

Douglas, hired at an awkward time last year with free agency and the draft having already been completed, was on scholarship last season.<\/p>\n

This season, Douglas is paying full tuition, and it\u2019s difficult to decipher whether his fingerprints on the current roster represent a finger painting or an actual plan.<\/p>\n

Jets fans have been touting Douglas as the right person for the job as much for his strong background with the Ravens as for the simple fact that they\u2019re desperate for this to work out and are willing it to do so.<\/p>\n
