McCown's agent sarcastically asks Jets fans if they still want to tank

Weren't the New York Jets a lock to win the No. 1 pick?

Coming into the year, the Jets were widely picked as the worst team in the league to the point where a significant legion of the Jets fan base wanted to tank to secure a premium draft pick.

But instead the Jets are now 3-2 on the season after their 17-14 win over the Cleveland Browns, and it's thanks in large part to the surprisingly competent performance of quarterback Josh McCown.

Sunday's win over the Browns prompted McCown's agent Mike McCartney to ridicule those Jets fans who were rooting for losses.

Jets fans, however, shouldn't fully let their guard down just yet. Narrow wins over the Browns and Jaguars don't quite erase their loss to the surprisingly plucky Buffalo Bills nor their 45-20 shellacking by the Oakland Raiders.
