Lol. Yeah Zach Wilson’s problem is that he’s never done shrooms or acid and that’ll clearly fix his shitty dirt throws on 6 yard crossing routes.
100% spot on. Sounds crazy until you realize the double helix (yes DNA was discovered on shrooms). Look it up. Zach has a major ego problem - and I said this before in a prior post - the best thing he can get from Rodgers is taking some healthy drugs lol. He's a Mormon probably doesn't drink or do anything like that. But he needs to micro-dose or something. Sorry, there's nothing coaching will fix at the moment. This is purely mental and yes it does come from not be able to handle adversity. That's clearly obvious as how he just wasn't able to bounce back. Can't blame coaches for that. Sam Darnold, had mono, ghost game, Adam Gase, and still was able end the season 6-2. He proved he can play in the NFL. I mean McCaffery vocally still supports him to this day it just happened last week. Only bringing up because end of the day Darnold will get chances in the NFL because people know he can fight thru adversity, win over teammates, and atleast has put together a spurt of consistent games. Zach just hasn't done it. He doesn't have one single complete game on the resume. He turning out to be a more mobile Hackenberg. That's bad. really bad.
Rodgers buys them 2 years. The Jets will have to look to the draft again at some point. Don't know how strong next year's QB class is. Or they will go the FA/trade route when the time comes. I think it's best for both Wilson and Jets if they part ways. I don't think Wilson will be successful here. JMHO.
If the jets sign Wilson to a second contract, Douglas should be fired. It took them 1 year to move on from Browning Nagle...they have already endured two years of watching Wilson be the NFL's worst starting QB (and in my mind it's not even close).
Zach Wilson has the potential to be the best back-up QB in the NFL in 2023. Funny how people think otherwise. If Rodgers unfortunately goes down, the team could survive with Wilson. Fans just assume Zach will always play like he did in New England or that Thursday Night game vs Jacksonville. It's not true. He will be much better. I'm excited to see his progress. The Jets will be able to evaluate him all Summer and in pre-season games to know if they need to sign a true back-up QB or not. I believe they won't need to.
Agreed 100%. Zach Wilson has proven the spotlight is too much for him. Quite frankly, I think they SHOULD have retained Mike White. I don't believe in Tim Boyle or anyone else as an understudy to AR. This has the potential to be a 1999 like epic disaster if we lose AR on opening day....
Zach has a lot of values you would like in a back-up QB. He has NFL game experience, he is capable of winning a football game, he knows his teammates well so the comfort level is there, and he is similar to the starting QB's style, so you won't have to adjust the offense much. Those are true. Like I wrote in the original post, Zach is going to be better than he was in New England or that Jaguars game. However, if he is not, the Jets will be able to see that this Summer and in the Pre-season. Then they can do their best to acquire a true back-up QB like the OP wrote. I believe Zach Wilson can be that guy though. Time will tell.
NFL exp of being the worst passer ever? He hasn’t learned anything and can’t hit a check down to a RB much less yet
Well... we are stuck with Zach... so there's that. I don't see the point of ragging on him. Who knows... I've seen worse QB's wearing our colors.
Do you see the point in touting him every day, as a handful of posters continue to do, with nothing to indicate he's now something other than what we've seen for two years? He's basically paid for and will be here for two more years. So be it.
A handful? I've only noticed two... maybe three. And those opinions have been fairly tempered. Not sure why that bothers you so. I saw more posters saying that Aaron Rodgers was a horrible person. As far as Zach goes... we can certainly talk about how he looks in camp/pre-season. And we can talk about what an asshole Aaron is. It's a football chat forum... that's how it works.
Yup, a football chat forum, so why even mention "ragging on him"? That's as legitimate as praising him. And when's the last time you saw someone introduce Wilson to a conversation just to rag on him? The choir boys, however many there are, do it daily. What's the point in that?
ZW is our backup. Period. Sure Boyle and others can compete for number 2 behind AR. I doubt that ZW will not be number 2. He should improve. Whether he will ever reach the level of Franchise QB is not impossible but meaningless at this stage. He just needs to be ready, and ready to fill in sufficiently and efficiently. Keep it simple. Move the chains.
