Additionally, Johnson’s yards-per-carry dipped from 4.7 to 3.9 in 2021.

He hasn’t had any more than 50 yards in a game in any contest since then. However, Johnson has failed to replicate that performance. The former waiver-wire pickup racked up 104 rushing yards and a touchdown on 22 carries in Week 13 against the Raiders, the most by any Jet in a single game that season. Johnson had only a single game that year with more than 12 carries, and he more than made the most of it. Ty Johnson found his way into the spotlight as one of the few bright spots of the 2020 season, averaging 4.7 yards per carry as a rotational piece. Mike White may be the fan favorite, but Flacco is the Jets’ true QB2. It’s obvious the Jets’ brain trust want him around their young passer. Wilson has repeatedly praised Flacco for how much he’s learned from the former Super Bowl MVP in the meeting room. On top of his ability to keep the offense humming in the event of Wilson’s absence, Flacco has a great influence on Zach Wilson. Given both Flacco’s and White’s most recent showings, it seems likely that Flacco is the favorite to win the competition. The team made it a priority to re-sign Flacco at the end of the year, expecting that he would once again compete with White for the primary backup quarterback job. In his lone start of 2021, he threw for 291 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions against the Dolphins in Week 10. Joe Flacco, the soon-to-be 15-year veteran, showed that he can still get it done. That is the impetus for his 56 Madden 23 rating, which has some fans screaming but may not be too far off the mark. Mike White was brilliant on that single October Sunday, but that brilliance just didn’t last. Zach Wilson returned from injury a week later against the Texans and would start the rest of the year.

Joe Flacco would take over the starting job the next week against the Dolphins. That’s worse than if he had just spiked the ball on each play. White completed 24 of his 44 passing attempts, a 54.6 completion percentage, for 251 yards, zero touchdowns, four interceptions, and a passer rating of 33.4. He played well against the Colts before sustaining an injury in the first quarter, but his next start, Week 9 against the Bills, was a complete disaster. The week before the Bengals game, after taking over for the injured Wilson in the second quarter of a lopsided loss to the Patriots, White completed 20 passes on 32 attempts for 202 yards, a single touchdown, two interceptions, and a passer rating of 64.8. However, Mike White‘s Halloween miracle masked a couple of average outings and one absolute horror show.
