    The Jets will have a window after the season when they can make Mike White an offer that clearly indicates that he is not the backup without paying him like he is a high-value starter.

    An example would be like a 3 year $45M/$50M deal with enough up front that he's not worried about getting played to avoid the free agency market. The contract could be structured to allow either party to escape in the 3rd year without giving up anything already paid or being liable for anything more.

    White could choose to turn that down but there's a lot of risk in doing that and a lot of reward (up front money) to take it.

    I would put Joe Willie at Mike White level too.

    Saleh ain't fucking around now, he is putting the 53 over individuals. I do think Mike will get his shot for the future

    Kirk has had a down year this year. In his 7 previous years as a starter he ranged from 94 to 107 from passer rating perspective. Still even this year his passer rating is 87. In the last 18 years, only in 2015 we had better production from Fitzmagic, and it was 88, very similar to Kirk's down season now. In the last two decades, the only one who crossed 90 was Chad in 2004. I understand passer rating is not end all be all, but still, what we are talking about is absolute shit production from QB spot for decades with a couple of rare exceptions of average production.

    If Mike can produce at above average level overall, even with some down games, he will play for the rest of the year and in play-offs, and he will end up with a very nice contract from JD come this summer. If he has a couple of terrible back to back games, it's a different story, but I don't think he will be benched after one down performance.

    While every week will be a test for White, Minn is still a bottom tier defense. The true test will be Buffalo. Their defense is a lot healthier than the last game we played them.

    Just as we had people conjuring up excuses for why Zach didn't meet expectations... I expect to read at least some nonsense
    about how White succeeded because he faced sub-par defenses... :confused:

    I'm just hoping Mike White works out because every picture ever taken of him can be turned into some kind of meme. It's his true super power.

    Well there is that across the spectrum. Some here said our D looked better because we played third string QBs, so there is nonsense going on on all camps. No one is inmune to criticism.

    Bad QB's can't make themselves look good against bad defenses.

    If you fell asleep during last years season, then woke up today, how would you think the Jets team got so improved?

    Affordability.

    JD and Saleh accumulated the right players and coaches. Yes, there were some disappointments but this team is jelling nicely. They can also afford to spin out players and roll in others. They got a stable of thoroughbreds to choose from.

    The coaches and JD can now afford to run the team like so many other great team coaching staffs have.

    Play like shit…you sit.

    Talk shit…you sit.

    Any questions?

    GO MIKE WHITE!!! GO JETS!!! CRUSH THEM GRAPES BABY!!!

    Jets released a video of the players boarding their plane. They're wearing 'Mike F*N White' tshirts.

    I'm smiling at how much of a good teammate White seems to be




    And this one was from weeks ago when he was just a afterthought to fans

    I wonder if they took ZW with them or let him stay home?

    His demeanor last game was disturbing to put it mildly.
