Looking back at the 16 quarterbacks in 15 years since Brett Favre in 2008

The one thing all NFL franchises want is a long-term quarterback. Someone that they know will lead their team for at least 10-12 years, if not longer. Every team wants a Patrick Mahomes or a Peyton Manning or a Tom Brady. Unfortunately for the Jets, they haven’t exactly struck gold in that department in recent years.

With the Jets deciding to start Tim Boyle at quarterback in place of Zach Wilson, the Jets are now starting their 16th different quarterback since they went pushed their chips for Brett Favre in 2008. It’s not exactly a “Who’s who” list but it’s certainly a list alright. Let’s take a quick trip down memory lane for each quarterback that has started or will start, in the case of Boyle, a game for the Jets in the past 15 years.
