You do know that ZW was drafted to be a franchise QB, right? 

 

I mean, the kid has to show something at some point.

But he acts like Wilson was choice 1st wasn’t!  He was suppose to learn behind Rogers this year and maybe challenge to start next year if it took. That said The man be a trivia question in 10 years.

Joe’s into the sauce again.

Jamarcus Russell, Trey Lance, Ryan Leaf and Mitch Trubisky were all drafted to be franchise QBs. So??? Sometimes you invest in a dog and have to put it out of its misery at a big loss.

My point is the regime failed selecting this guy. Better to move off before you lose the locker room. You already made one big mistake, don't make another.

Please jets be good enough to still suck!  Wait...what?

I really feel bad for Liev Schreiber.

Saleh and Douglas bought themselves an extra year when Rodgers went down. I personally think anyone who thinks Rodgers would have made that much of a difference behind that line is fooling themselves. Maybe with Rodgers they pull off the win yesterday...but they weren't beating the Cowboys either way. And week 1 was a gift. 

 

Easy to pin a losing record on losing Rodgers. Honestly, if I were the Jets I let Wilson stink it up and take a QB what's looking to be a deep QB draft. Their defense will win them too many for a top 3 pick IMO.

Russell & Leaf also made it 3 seasons, which appears to be the path Wilson is on.  Only the 49ers had the courage to dump Lance after 2 seasons, mainly because they had a starting QB on a 7th round rookie contract & were better able to withstand the cap hit trading Lance triggered.  Trubisky got 4 years in Chicago.  Nobody wanted Wilson's contract so the Jets were better off cap wise keeping him, although they could have brought in someone else behind Rodgers & kept Wilson on the bench.  The problem was they didn't have the guts to say he is a bust & relegate him slowly into oblivion.

They have a good eye for QBs… Darnold and Wilson 👍

 

Mark Sanchez also... he was 5th overall in 2009.

I think the Jets have to bring Wentz in and see if they can salvage this season. Zack Wilson can get a few more games while Wentz learns the playbook and gets some practice in and have that be the final chance for Wilson. But yeah two-plus seasons of Wilson have shown not a whole lot to be excited about.

They should have bit the bullet and dumped Wilson and kept White for a backup.

clean house.

 

leave the booze.

First Things First was putting the idea of Carson Wentz out there.  Even with all his warts, Wentz has to be better than Wilson.

I honestly have no idea what they are doing with Wilson and why they are sticking with him. Wentz would be an easy upgrade. They could trade a 4th or 5th rounder to the Steelers for mason Rudolph, or to the Texans for Davis mills or case Keenum.

This from a man who threw more interceptions than touchdowns in almost every season he played in and for his career and the ONLY reason why he is in the HOF is because of Super Bowl III. 

He is in the hall of fame because everyone who knows what the NFL is knows who Joe Namath is.  Probably the most "famous" guy the NFL every produced. Hall of Fame is exactly where he belongs.   If they create a hall of TD:INT ratio leaders, they can leave him out of that.

Have you seen Wentz play the last couple of seasons?  If you're looking at stats, he looks a lot better on paper than he has on the field.  Since the teams look at film instead of stat sheets, they've seen enough to not want to sign him.  He reminds me a lot of Paxton Lynch who was last seen playing in the XFL.

Zach Wilson is the greatest gift given to all AFC East fans. 

 

The gift that keeps on giving.

White left as a free agent and returned home to the Dolphins.  He wasn't interested in returning to NY when he could play where he grew up.

I heard about a story from a long time ago in Buffalo.  Joe Namath was in Buffalo & this heavy-set woman comes up to him & tells him that he's her favorite player.  He signs an autograph for her: "To my biggest fan, Joe Namath"  

 

Seriously that's comedy gold

That's not really accurate they gave up on Wilson to go on a couple year adventure with Rodgers, they maybe thought having Zack as a backup would be okay. But once you've given up on your 1st round QB you're pretty much done with them, confidence is too big in that position to do that to them.

 

So there is something to what Joe Namath is saying because they went so all in with Rodgers that they didn't really have a plan for the future. Not only that but they catered to him so much that they brought in an offensive coordinator who I'm not sure was ever meant to do much more than say yes to Aaron. So now their offense is a bigger cluster***** than it was last year.

I cant believe Buffalo has lost to zach wilson twice. it makes me physically ill.
