Bryce Petty made his long-awaited season debut and the New York Jets lost 31-19 to the New Orleans Saints, but we can take positives from that game and look to a bright future.

Another loss for the New York Jets on what can only be described as a roller coaster season. This team is young and growing, but it’s still not ready to compete with the best in the league. That doesn’t mean we need to abandon ship and start over.

The Jets need to look at the positives and the growth, and move forward from that. They shouldn’t accentuate the negatives from 2017. That includes the season debut of Bryce Petty. He did make a lot of mistakes that were characteristic of a young quarterback who’s not ready for the big-time, but that doesn’t mean he won’t ever be.

For Petty this was a learning experience, and a good one at that. He did some good things, and a lot of bad things. If we look at it closer, we can see the good things and know he can work out the negatives. Let’s examine what we can take out from this game before we rush to any final conclusions.
