How'd the quarterbacks look?

FLORHAM PARK — For the first time in training camp, the Jets wide-open quarterback competition actually looked, well, open.

Christian Hackenberg received his first first-team reps on Monday. It was a brief audition — six snaps — but it signaled the next step in the second-year QB's progression. Does it mean he's getting closer to unseating Josh McCown as the unofficial starter?

Well, coach Todd Bowles wouldn't say. Actually, he wouldn't even say if Hackenberg will receive more first-team reps this week.

"It’s possible," Bowles said after practice. "It’s the second week of camp. Like I said, we’ll rotate them and evaluate them as we see fit. Going forward, we may or may not. We’ll switch guys around here and there at every position. It’s still an evaluation period. We’ll see probably everybody with every group."

How did Hackenberg look with the first-team offense? What did McCown and Petty do with their reps? Here's the QB report...

THE ROTATION

This was easily the most evenly-repped practice of camp. Hackenberg and McCown (unofficially) each had 23, while Petty cleaned up the scraps. Here's a look things through eight practices.

REP COUNTER (practice):

Josh McCown: 23

Christian Hackenberg: 23

Bryce Petty: 10

THE STATS

Don't Edit

With Quincy Enunwa out for the year with a neck injury (bulging disc), the Jets aren't left with much at the receiver position. Robby Anderson and Charone Peake are currently atop the depth chart, but both have struggled throughout camp. Add in the sudden decline of the offensive line, and it doesn't make a quarterback's life very easy.

The stats from Monday's practice? Well, they tell the story.

Josh McCown: THE GOOD

Don't Edit

He made a beautiful throw to Austin Seferian-Jenkins in a last-second drill to end practice. Perfect placement is the only reason the play worked.

The Jets put eight seconds on the clock, and the ball at the 10 yard line. The starting offense was then asked to score against the starting defense. McCown threw it high to Seferian-Jenkins, who ran a skinny-post from his tight end position. Seferian-Jenkins out-jumped Demario Davis, high-pointed the ball, and kept it away as the linebacker took a few desperate swipes.

Josh McCown: THE BAD

Don't Edit

McCown's accuracy has been a redeeming quality in camp, but he struggled mightily with it on Monday. The inexperience at receiver likely played a role, but McCown has to be better than 5 of 12. A lot of those passes were just errant.

The biggest issue with the Jets offense right now — which isn't really a shot at McCown — is they simply can't stretch the field. Their only successful plays come on underneath routes. Eventually, you need to push the ball down the field. The Jets haven't been able to thus far.

Christian Hackenberg: THE GOOD

Don't Edit

He made a marvelous throw in the red zone to tight end Chris Gragg. Hackenberg had a clean pocket — a rarity on Monday — saw Gragg get open on a skinny post, and threaded the needle between two defenders for the score. It was an incredibly difficult pass, but Hackenberg made it look easy.

In that red zone drill, he completed four straight, including the touchdown, before misfiring on a fade to tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins.

Hackenberg's first-team reps were a positive, too. It's a sign he has taken the next step in his development. His time with the starting unit didn't go well, though. Here were the six plays: Run, sack, run, run, completion on screen, pass batted at line.

Christian Hackenberg: THE BAD

Don't Edit

He continues to hold the ball way too long. It's getting worse as camp goes on, not better. Hackenberg took six (!) sacks on Monday. That's absurd. Granted, some were breakdowns by the offensive line, but not all. Hackenberg needs to get through his progressions quicker.

Accuracy was a big issue on Monday, too, and has been most of camp. It's telling when both McCown and Petty are completing 62-66 percent of their passes ... and Hackenberg is at 52 percent. He'll wow you every few throws for one of two reasons: A beauty, or a dud. He needs more consistency here.

Don't Edit

Bryce Petty: THE GOOD

Don't Edit

Petty clearly isn't involved in this wide-open quarterback competition. He's getting less than scraps of reps. In the first team drill, Petty took two snaps before the Jets moved on. Give him credit for not hanging his head, though. He's keeping his composure despite the Jets not giving him a chance to shine.

Bryce Petty: THE BAD

Don't Edit

Petty is starting to miss passes he shouldn't. There were two plays where he had receiver Chad Hansen open — wide open — and he just missed him. One sailed out of bounds, and the other over Hansen's head. Petty isn't getting many reps in practice. He can't afford to waste opportunities to impress. Right now, he is.

THE HIGHLIGHTS AND LOWLIGHTS

Don't Edit

Here are a few of the plays that stood out — for good or bad reasons — on Monday.

Christian Hackenberg had an awful throw in the receiver-cornerback drill. After ArDarius Stewart beat David Rivers on a curl, Hackenberg sailed the ball well over his head. Stewart couldn't have been more than 6-8 yards away from Hackenberg.

Josh McCown threw a beauty of a pass to receiver Jalin Marshall in the same drill. Rivers had Marshall covered tightly, but Marshall jumped over Rivers' head, high-pointed the ball, and pulled it in for a touchdown on a fade. It was an awfully athletic play. Something we saw a ton from Marshall in training camp his rookie year. He hasn't had the same spark this summer.

Josh McCown had a near interception in team drills. He tried to get one to wideout Marquess Wilson on a deep in, but threw it too high. The ball tipped off Wilson's hands, and nearly into the waiting arms of safety Doug Middleton.

Josh McCown threw a really nice swing pass to running back Eli McGuire. I know what you're thinking: How can a swing pass be a highlight? But McCown timed it perfectly to get it to McGuire just past the outstretched arms of a linebacker. It would have been a big gain up the right sideline.
