I mean, the Jets are clearly tanking at this point. But why bother signing Siemian (who has been better than either of the Jets healthy QBs his entire career in the NFL) if you're not going to play him?

Trevor Siemian playing from week 2 on probably has this team in playoff contention. Hell, there are a bunch of QBs, several of which were available, that were all clearly better than Boyle (and Wilson, but especially Boyle) that could've kept the season afloat.

Like the Jets just haven't done anything to try to improve the offense once Rodgers went down. They didn't go out and try to bring in new OL. They didn't improve at QB. They just acted like the offense as-is was sufficient, despite all the mounting evidence that it wasn't.

Unless it was an ownership directive (and even then) I really think the whole org gets canned at the end of the season.

I don't think the Jets would want to trade capital for Brisset/Lance, and maybe not even Dobbs. But it's absolutely malpractice to not kick the tires on Wentz

There were a multitude of options available to them, as I've laid out, and they opted to do nothing.

It doesn't matter if you take issue with any given one, with barely any thought I could come up with 6 different ways to add to the QB room and potentially improve there. Two of them were fully within their control (as in, don't require someone to be willing to trade an asset) and they just didn't do them. It's complete malpractice.
