I agree, what young QB would want to be drafted by the jets or some other team that is a constant disaster, can’t blame them at all, it certainly sucks if your favorite team is one of those teams, we as bills fans have been there. 

 

I believe Saleh is a good coach, especially a defensive coach. 

 

The Jets have a promising RB in Breece Hall and a very good looking young WR in Garrett Wilson.  Elijah Moore might have something if they curry and water him properly.  Corey Davis and Tyler Conklin can play.

 

I don't know about Mike LaFleur as their OC.  In theory, he has a good pedigree, but TBD if he's a good OC or not.  I do think his idea of an offense rests heavily on their OL, and it's just  bad luck that Mekhi Becton and 2 other OLmen (I think) have spent much of the season on IR.  The Shanahan-tree systems are usually felt to be QB friendly.

 

Frankly, in terms of a good head coach, a good offensive system, and good pieces, it's probably not a bad situation to walk into.

So  Zach just wasted all that money buying scooters for his OL, lol.

So, let me get this straight, he buys scooters for his offensive linemen, and he likes his women using walkers? This guy’s rolling…

That would be great if so (IMO). 

 

I think Mike White is pretty much a Ryan Fitzpatrick type player - tough as nails, good head, can put together a string of games where he makes you think "oh yeah, this kid's Got It".  But ultimately, his head will start writing checks his arm talent can't cash.

Agree. He played pretty well in the 2 games (think it was) leading up to the Bills. Once again same as before, he started off playing well and getting the media attention talking him up and whatnot.... Then come Bills week and once again Bills D quickly stomps out that fire and all the talk goes quiet. 

 

Lol, the Bills D must be his kryptonite

Except for one major thing, it’s the Jets organization and their owner, that organization has a long way to go, a very long way, they have proved time and again they are not up to the task, could that change? Yup, sure could, and I could win the lottery too, jmo.

Looks like they’re definitely moving on from him…

the guy is a gamer. I'll give him that. Showed some Jim Kelly like grit going back in.

Appears Jets are entering next year with the mindset they will bring someone in from outside to start and that Wilson will not be given the chance to compete for the starting job. Not sure what they are holding onto him for them.

 

OC Mike LaFleur also said it would have benefited him to sit his rookie year...

I saw some clips from Saleh's press conference.  He goes on to talk about how Zach needs to step away from football for a while and figure things out.  Then says the Jets have "all the confidence in the world" in him.  Yeah right.  I had to LOL.  No they don't.  they are done with Zach.  It's obvious.

[Greg S]

LOL, LOL, LOL

Mike White is much bigger than fitz and has a stronger arm 

 

he can sling it … it’s a lot of other parts of his game including consistency that need work

Perhaps another Packers legend ends up in a Jet uniform?

That wouldn't be good. If that happened, then they could really challenge the Bills for the division.

The fact they are bringing in someone else to start and not letting him compete for a starting QB job next year says all you need to know.

What if they go after Lamar?  Dolphins supposedly likely to go after Lamar also...rumors out there he wants out of Baltimore.

I really don't understand why the Ravens haven't signed him yet. I get that he has been hurt this year but prior to that he wins. He flat out wins games for them.

He does win, but I think the Bills Chiefs playoff game changed the perspective of a lot of teams. "Can our guy win that game? I don't think so, so why pay him 250 mil?"

Saleh still collecting receipts?

Didn't he also say the Jets would see the Bills in the playoffs? I guess they'll be taking a team field trip up to Highmark next weekend.

Eh, everything changes every year. And as much as the KC-Buffalo Game was amazing, neither one the SB. It was Matf Stafford who no one thinks is a great qb.

 

I know I’m in the minority but I think Lamar can win a SB. I think they need to switch their offense up more and get more playmakers.  Plus, stay healthy. It’s absolutely amazing they are a playoff team with the injuries they have.

The best thing that happened for the Jets is white showed he isn’t the guy. They should go after a Carr or Jimmy G type, see if Wilson has any trade valid (doubtful), and draft another guy.  The are basically the Whaley Bills right now. Lot of talent but without a real qb, you are stuck in mud.
