First Zach thread is now 120 pages. https://forums.theganggreen.com/thr...hreads-will-be-merged-here-after-a-day.98086/ Let's continue here.
Watching those clips in the other thread by Nania and Orlovsky make me want to fucking puke. If they are going to scheme guys so wide open and need a game manager at QB there is no reason to not play Mike White.
Zach plays scared. He is scared to take a hit and therefor rushes his throws, doesn't set his feet and sails balls high. He sucks, he is the reason we're losing and needs to be sat to set an example. Stand tall in the pocket, climb it when necessary, and deliver the ball. You may take a hit, but thats the line of work you signed on for buddy.
JD saleh and MLF have to have an honest, big-boy conversation this morning and then they need to talk to Zach Zach is on the verge of losing the team and Saleh is losing cred too
Particularly over the middle. And throw in that he struggles mightily with the little dump off passes. Basically the things you have to be able to do to be successful NFL QB.
I know Zach is not that small, but he looks and plays like a midget when in the pocket. The million dollar question is, why does Zach continue to get a pass when the team has been winning in spite of him, not because of him? How many lousy 3rd string QBs does the Jets coaching staff expect to beat up on in one season?
Here's what Peter King had to say about Wilson today. Hard to argue with him. Zach Wilson was awful at Gillette Stadium Sunday, and worse in the Gillette Stadium locker room. Longtime Jets authority Mark Cannizzaro Tweeted: “Zach Wilson has a lot of repairing to do inside his own locker room right now. His answer ‘no’ when asked whether he let the D down has gone viral and this thing is spiraling in a bad way for him.” Goat of the week Zach Wilson, quarterback, N.Y. Jets. Two games against the Patriots this year, two awful performances by the second-year QB from Brigham Young. In 26 second-half plays, the Jets generated two yards. You have to try to be that miserable. Really try. But get this: Wilson had seven second-half drives. The furthest he drove the Jets was to his own 35-yard line. I watched the Jets’ post-game show on SNY in New York, and I thought Willie Colon was going to burst out into orbit, he was so enraged over the Jets’ play. (And he thinks, as I do, that Robert Saleh has to worry less about the feelings of Zach Wilson and more about winning games this year with this team, keeping in mind that benching Wilson isn’t a dumb idea.)
https://nypost.com/2022/11/20/jets-have-quarterback-problem-after-zach-wilson-disaster/ "Yes, there was Darth Belichick, and yes there was a 17 mph east wind, and yes, there was no running game (23-for-59, 20-for-33 not counting Wilson), but this was unacceptable and inexcusable even for a rookie quarterback. And so was this: When Wilson was asked if he felt he left the heroic Jets defense (six sacks) down, he said: “No. No.” He would have been better served shattering the deathly silence in the visitors’ locker room with “Yes. Yes.” One of the major responsibilities that comes with the franchise quarterback position is taking every bullet there is to take for a loss — even sometimes when it is not your fault. It’s called accountability. Teammates recognize real. "
This is bad. Really really bad. Wow Zach. You didn't let your defense down yesterday? Give me a break.
Zach has seven games left to save his NFL career. I think JD and Saleh will give Zach the rest of the season to turn things around no matter how badly he plays. Zach is either going to rally and start to play decent football towards the end of the season and justify being given another season to develop, or he is going to continue to look bad and everyone will be ready to move on from him, second overall pick or not. JD and Saleh know that if they keep Zach next season and he is terrible that both of them are gone too. JD and Saleh aren't going to go down with the Zach Wilson ship. If he looks bad the rest of the season they will pull the plug on him, ask for a mulligan, and try again with a new QB next year. This team is just a competent QB away from being legit.
He should get the first qtr next Sunday, and if he’s bad he should get benched. I don’t understand all this “if we bench him, we will hurt his feelings” shit. These are supposed to be grown men, and in the real world (outside of getting payed millions to play with a ball), job performance is a thing, feelings be damned.
