Jets non-committal to Cade Klubnik as QB2 after 'up and down' preseason start against Giants

Following his second straight mediocre preseason performance, Jets head coach Aaron Glenn was not want to anoint rookie Cade Klubnik as the team's QB2.

Cade Klubnik, the Jets' rookie quarterback, has had an inconsistent preseason start, raising doubts about his role as the team's backup to Geno Smith. After a shaky performance in the team's preseason finale against the Giants, head coach Aaron Glenn was cautious about Klubnik's future. Glenn acknowledged Klubnik's ups and downs but emphasized the need for improvements, particularly in avoiding sacks and losing yards in crucial moments.

Klubnik himself recognized his mistakes but credited his teammates for running the ball effectively. The Jets' other backup quarterbacks, Bailey Zappe and Brady Cook, put in a poor showing, contributing just 38 passing yards. The team has until Aug. 30 to finalize their 53-man roster, leaving Klubnik's future as the QB2 uncertain.
