Josh McCown will start at quarterback for the New York Jets for the remainder of the season and perhaps beyond that as well.

Todd Bowles said Thursday that he isn't thinking that far ahead, but offensive coordinator John Morton said McCown is "perfect" for New York's offense.

"Sure. Why wouldn't I?" Morton said when asked about endorsing McCown as the starter in 2018 as well. "Look at the stats. But I don't make that decision. You can ask the head coach that and the people upstairs."
