We'd be foolish to drop Jozy from the program.
I'm not buying that he's played his way out of the team either. Since the World Cup in Brazil, in a two year span where he's largely been injured and not once in form, he's still managed to score 11 times in 21 appearances.
I can hear the he only scores against CONCACAF minnows rhetoric coming a mile away. Reality is those goals came against Chile, Colombia, Honduras, Denmark, Peru (2), Canada, Iceland, St. Vincent (2) and in an absolutely must win WCQ against Guatemala back in March.
Jozy can be a source of frustration at times, I've been critical of him and called him out for what I perceive to be a lack of mental toughness. But he's still a productive player at the international level. There's a fairly short list of nations - as in you could count them on ten fingers - who are above a player like Jozy contributing as added depth to their talent pool at CF.
1. Wood
2a. Altidore
2b. Jordan Morris
I like Jordan Morris' game and think he has potential, but he hasn't shown that he's a superior player to Altidore at any level.
There are no youth players who remotely fit the mold of the players above who are anywhere near ready.
Someone like Julian Green's path isn't obstructed by Altidore. Green provides depth on the wings and should be looking to compete with Pulisic in phasing out Zusi and Bedoya.
2014 World Cup and Wondo's recent contributions against Argentina should be clear examples of what a disaster it is when you lack forward depth.
At the moment Jozy absolutely has a place in the team. We actually have decent depth and flexibility at the forward position in a way we've never really had before with Jozy in the fold. You can pair either Dempsey, Jozy or even Morris with Wood in a two forward formation and give the opposing back lines three completely different looks.
Going forward Jozy needs to get healthy, bag a ton of goals in Toronto, and look to compete directly with Wood, Morris, and potentially Zardes for a place in the team. If the competitive process plays itself out and Jozy isn't amongst the top 4 - 5 pure forwards available then he shouldn't be involved. But he certainly hasn't played himself out of a role yet and I don't see the aforementioned happening in the next two years.
