Dalvin Cook had 23 yards on 15 carries. The Jets are going to have to win this game on Zach Wilson’s arm.
Zach career is in the balance this game. If he really sucks it's probably over, average or good he will get more chances
Feel like this is a similar situation to what happened with Drew Brees a few years back. Didn't he fracture some ribs and gut through it for a bit and then got put on IR the following week? Maybe I'm misremembering his situation, and I think his was a lot worse because I feel like he fractured like 10+ ribs and had a collapsed lung or something like that, but they seem similar enough.
If somehow ZW plays well we'll have a genuine QB controversy and while that usually sucks, on this team I have the feeling it will bring out the best in both of them. I'm optimistic. Great opportunity for Zach. So, who's our backup? Wish its Strev.
Not as hard as JFM hit on Mac Jones apparently. That one took pick 6 away for hitting too hard. This one looks like was just right.
The difference was timing. White got hit just as he released the ball. Jones got a hit a half second after. That's a huge difference.
I can't find that quote on Twitter though so maybe someone just mentioned it offhand and I took it the wrong way. I'm hoping they make Flacco inactive and have Streveler be the QB2 this week but we'll see.
Said it in the game thread up top but I'll repeat it here... "I think this will be a good thing for ZW. In my very uninformed opinion, I felt like Zach's issues his last few weeks as a starter were mainly mental. I felt like he was second-guessing himself too much and was hesitant to make throws that were there. Hopefully he's used this time off to clean up his footwork a bit, gonna need a full offseason to reset it, and now will be able to play a bit more freely."
As another poster stated early on , I hoping for the best but expecting the worst. I read the same article about ZW and Cover1... Another poster asked if anyone changed his vote, I did because I have no faith in ZW. Hope he proves me wrong, but my alais is not SOJ-AZ for nothiing.
If you mean will his cracked ribs be healed by Thursday, they wont. If this is all about Whites safety, he wont be able to go against Jax.
Ughhh I have no confidence Zach will play well. This sucks. Maybe they can eke out wins against mediocre teams Like Det/Jax/Sea with subpar QB play like they did earlier in the season. Also, Zach has proven fragile, what happens if he gets knocked out of the game? Can we get Streveler suited up!?!
Hoping for the best - and if he had an offseason to work on his mechanics, I would feel much better about this news. I have little reason to believe in 3 weeks there's going to be any discernable difference in his performance or decision-making...
