Aging quarterbacks Ryan Fitzpatrick, Josh McCown proving worth to Buccaneers and Jets

Ryan Fitzpatrick and Josh McCown are survivors, aging quarterbacks who keep getting opportunities to prove their worth to NFL teams. One of them has started 116 games over 13 seasons with seven teams, while the other has 69 career starts spread over 15 years with eight clubs. Together, that's 185 starts for nearly half the league, a number that will grow Sunday when Fitzpatrick, one of just four players in league history to throw touchdown passes for seven franchises, makes his first start for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-6). Interestingly, career start No. 117 comes against the New York Jets (4-5), his employer the past two seasons. McCown, a little more than halfway through his first season with the Jets, also is facing one of his former teams.
