I never thought I’d read those words. At least it wasn’t “that’s a good point, ouchy” that would’ve been too far.
Dickery didn’t man up. He blamed others for “ruining” the board as though he wasn’t a willing participant and whatever the fuck that means. Maybe our definition of “man up” is different.
come on legler, you know that Bickety is a good guy. He just got a little heated over the GIF/Wilson v. Fields wars... like we all did, myself included.
..as It should. I am man enough to put things to bed, accept what Is, and support what has been done. Don't think for a second though that that means I'm going to endure consistently shitty QB play and not be be vocal about It. Especially If Fields Is lighting It up with Chicago. No way. That leash Is short for me. There is some slack but It's not a long leash. Play time is over. Some people touting Wilson as better than Lawrence even. I'm all for that. Let's go! For real. However. There Is no excuse now. Wilson hasn't even played a down yet and he is walking into a better coaching staff, with a great offensive system that Is tailor made for the QB, along with weapons that Sam Darnold could only dream of. It's time to get to work. It's time to start showing we are a competent team, with a solid offense, and production. I'm okay with missing the playoffs but I want to see SIGNIFICANT turn around from Sam Darnold to Zach Wilson. Its not a big deal though because a lot of people think he is a stud and was much better than Fields. I'm supporting that. Let's go! I'm ready.
I understand where you are coming from MeanDean and you are right, Zach has no excuses. I am curious, who would you say has the better situation as far as coaching staff and surrounding offensive talent is concerned....Zach with Saleh and the Jets or Fields with Nagy and the Bears, MeanDean?
Hey Guys Are ya ready for this? I saw the revamped NFL Power Rankings after Draft Cleveland Browns are 6th!!...only 2 years ago they were like in 20s So if they can go from sh>thouse to penthouse so can we FTR Buffalo is #3 ...and in 3 years with good mangmt and drafting they also made it happen We are now a respectable 24th or 25th right behind Phil Eagles and 5 behind NYG at 20
Roach you are joking right? We absolutely had the worst offensive roster in the league in 2020. He didn't upgrade much, and even managed to downgrade a couple positions. It was the worst Jets team i've ever seen, embarrassing frankly. I'd say he approached this offseason a lot differently, which is a big improvement. The offseason isn't just a draft. Had he been more aggressive in supporting Darnold, we may have had a lot more draft capital to work with.
I think that Zach Wilson Is In a better situation from a scheme perspective. Talent Is kinda close. I'm not a Bears expert though. To be fair. I know they have Allen Robinson at WR. I don't think they have much else beyond him though. A past his prime Jimmy Graham at TE. Their OL Isn't great, but, I don't know much about all of their players on that line, I think we probably have a better RB core. It really depends on how well our rookies pan out overall. Still. Zach Wilson Is hands down In such a better situation than Sam Darnold ever was. I think JD has done a lot to make our offense respectable. That's all I know. No more excuses.
In year one all I need is flashes. Rookie Darnold at least gave me that. If he could also not contribute to the suck and make significantly more positive than negative plays as a rookie that would be a welcomed bonus. The Fields, Lance and Jones comparisons will always be there. That’s baked in the cake of being in the same draft class. It’s going to be a bit more in the forefront with Wilson given his seemingly late rise among the ranks.
Fields is in a better situation talent wise. I believe the Bears have made the playoffs 2 out the last 3 years despite sub par QB play. Except for their o-line, they have a pretty decent roster. Truth be told aside from Trubisky Ryan Pace has done a decent job in the draft. Where Wilson has the advantage is stability in the FO & CS. Pace and Nagy are on the hot seat. So that dynamic is never good for a young QB; ask Sam.
I was OK with keeping Sam and trading down, and also liked Lance and Fields, but I’m excited as hell with Wilson and the rest of the team going forward. I disagree with a lot of things the team does, but my opinion isn’t going to change reality. The Jets are a team I love to follow and root for, and it’s all just a fun hobby/ distraction from the shitty parts of life. I’ll root like hell for the team, and couldn’t imagine being that guy that roots against certain players/coaches/whatever to say I told you so. No one cares and you’ll just be miserable to be around
