Zach Wilson out until at least week 4

None in that thread, but there IS a separate thread simply titled "Josh Allen", which is four pages devoted to lamentation. As far as I can tell, a Josh Allen thread just like it pops up every few months.

I've said this before, but I have to reiterate it: Going from 17 years of Brady DIRECTLY into the Josh Allen era has gotta be ROUGH on Jets and Dolphins fans.

And imagine being four days from the opener and getting the news that you get to spend a quarter of your season watching 37 year old Joe Flacco under center?

I would say I feel sorry for Jets fans, but I definitely don't...because I've MET Jets fans. 

 

One of the best comments from a Jets fan in the "Josh Allen" thread...

 

 

Not to the level he's been helped by his coaching staff and surrounding talent in Buffalo, no.  But the kid has 3 things you can't teach:  1) Ridiculous athleticism that goes beyond just his arm strength; 2) Physical and mental toughness; and 3) A seemingly maniacal desire to improve his game.  Those elements contributed heavily to Allen becoming one of the most unprecedented Year 3 turnarounds in NFL QB history.  

Sam Darnold had none of those qualities.  He was and is a soft, boogie boarding b*tch.  I don't blame the coaching all that much for his failure.  He was always destined to head down that road.  We were duped by one great game he played as a freshman in college.  We ignored the many red flags in the pursuit of a FQB.

..with all the MILFs that Zacheypoo has been banging.. how is it that Sam Darnold is the one who missed games due to mono and not Zach?

 Cause Sam was banging 20 year old college students where Mono is prevalent.

 

Zach is hitting 40 year old women - mono is not a concern.

 

Different ages - Different diseases.

I thought he was all thick this year??? Must have been so thick it injured him. 

He sneezed...and something went 'poink!'

Have we ever played Wilson? Wasn’t he out both games last year?

I am pretty sure he played the game in Buffalo. I am not sure about the one at MetLife.

We faced him in the regular season finale last year. We sacked him 9 times.

Why would they announce he’s out for at least 3+ weeks if they were just benching him? If he were being benched I’d think they would’ve just said that he won’t be back for week one. Then they’d see how flacco did week one (what if he’s terrible?), see how Wilson did in practice etc. before deciding the week 2 starter.

 

i think the most logical guess for this is a setback in his recovery. Especially considering the Jets planned to put him through a full workout the other day to see how his knee responded. Im guessing that his knee didn’t respond well to the workout. I know when I injured my knee the recovery was pretty bumpy. Too much physical activity could cause setbacks. I think Wilson only had that surgery less than a month ago iirc? 

 

Maybe, but they claim not set-back at this time.

 

It looks more and more like someone stepped in and said No to Zach Wilson starting at this time.  Zach said he was ready to start game 1, Salah basically said it was trending to starting game 1 - even as of yesterday.

 

Now today it is week 4 - I think someone outside the organization - maybe Zach’s chosen doctor said nope - to soon - give him several more weeks.

Doesn’t matter, they would lose all four games regardless. Second best team in New Jersey.

I don't know about that. The Giants are just as pathetic.

He was a disaster and Jets fans have had threads of arguing about how to excuse the mess he was in that game all offseason.

“I signed on to hold a clipboard…not run for my life for 4 weeks.”… J.Flacco.

he couldn't move in his prime.  Jets better hope their running game does well.

Spags must be devastated

Interesting.

 

Flacco will probably do better regardless.

 

So if Zach Wilson is a bust they have to go again for a high draft pick QB, love it.  They have entered QB purgatory-hell.

 

yep - I hope they win 8 games

I feel bad for the Jets here, not getting to see your young QB due to injury is a bad fate.

 

I want to feel bad for them, but can't.

Meniscus tears can be very nasty and the damage can be permanent.  I don’t know why these are seen as minor.

I've had three. Two of them, required 6 months of rehab. (No kidding) I was walking normally in a few days, after the last one. No PT required.

 

Maybe they're downplayed because of what BuffBart is sharing anecdotally here: meniscus tears CAN be fairly minor. They can also be fairly significant. I'm pretty sure I had an undiagnosed tear a handful of years back; no health insurance at the time, and the pain was mostly manageable except when I went DOWN stairs. I was still able to run and do some training that didn't involve squats or lunges or the sort. Sharp pain lasted 4-6 weeks.

 

Who really knows how many weekend warrior soft tissue injuries come and go in the shadows of the American healthcare system...

Remember when he "had that dog in him!" ?  That dog was ol yeller and he got taken out behind the shed before the season even started.

 

I still don't understand why everyone thought that was so funny.

[machine gun kelly]

It’s better they air on the side of caution so he’s 100%.  Besides, it’s not like they will be good this year.  It’s going to take time for those new talents to gel.  They have at least another year or two.
