Todd Bowles has refused to name Bryce Petty the starting quarterback of the New York Jets for the remainder of the 2016 season.

Bowles is believed to be concerned about his team checking out on Petty.

Petty has been an inferior quarterback to Ryan Fitzpatrick in practice but the Jets would like to see what they have in him before entering the offseason.

"You'd like to see young players play, but you also want to make sure they're ready for that," Mike Maccagnan said. "It's a more complicated decision than some people realize."
