NFL: Zach Wilson no longer Jets starting QB - Mike White takes over

[StreetHawk]

First Darnold now Wilson. Jets love wasting picks.

After wilson and Lance, everyone non QB taken from #4 to #14 has been a hit. But, that's the reality when it comes to QBs. Only the special ones hit the ground running by year 2. Jets have gone through 5 straight years with Darnold and Wilson at the helm. Fields has at least shown signs that he's figured some things out. Using his legs.

Pitts, Chase, Waddle, Sewell, Horn, Surtain, Smith, Fields, Parsons, Slater, Vera-Tucker.

Darnold showed promise his rookie year, far more than Wilson has ever shown.

Adam Gase ruined Darnold. Wilson is ruining Wilson.

Future Carolina Panther Zach Wilson.

That's future Colts starting QB to you, bucko.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Yeah, Sam Darnold looked way better than Zach Wilson ever has.

Browns and Jets trying to draft QBs is comical.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

They need to try to find a way to trade up in this upcoming draft and snag a QB. Their current crop is trash. That poor poor D.

Drafting doesn’t make sense for them as they can’t wait to develop. Chances of drafting and developing someone from this class that is going to be better than the tier 2 guys that will be on the market like Jimmy, Carr, Tanny are unlikely.

Very few guys go into to become tier 1 QBs who can carry a team.
Talking Mahomes, Allen, Burrow, Jackson, Herbert, and you’d would have included Brady and Rodgers up to last season.

This draft class Levis physically has that ability and rhe mindset to push the ball. Young is smaller guy. Stroud, seems like he should have been doing more with the talent around him. Hooker acl tear so you’re redshirting him next season as he won’t be ready for camp or pre season.

It cost SF 2 extra first rounders to go from 12 to 3. Jets cost them 3 extra seconds to move up 2 spots to get Darnold. Don’t think the Jets are paying those prices.

Get a veteran since you have cheaper contracts from your talented rookie contract guys.

They’ll go for Jimmy if he hits the market.

Yeah i can see that. With him,Breece ,and that D they could be a playoff team ( I think they end up missing this year). But they still need a few more weapons on offense.

If they are fighting for a playoff spot with Wilson don’t see why they couldn’t/wouldn’t be with Jimmy.

Although I expext Bengals& Chargers become a more dangerous team moving forward

Oh they Definitely would be. But i still feel like they are thin with weapons on offense. That could be the difference from borderline Playoff team to perennial Playoff team.

I know Jimmy G is definitely gone after this season and I'm so, so curious to see how Trey Lance turns out. Has there ever been a situation like his? Can't be right, right? The haul SF gave up and only one season's worth of starts in the past five years at this point?

 

[Blitzkrug]

Jimmy G has played this masterfully. Took his lumps/heat as the Niners QB to the point they draft a guy to replace him. He gets hurt, Jimmy looks the best he has looked since 2019 to the point several teams will likely look at him as an option now.

This either ends one of two ways, both of which are wins for him.

1) Jimmy wins the majority of his games left, helps the Niners roll into the playoffs and helps them make a deep run and the Niners decide to keep him

2) The Niners don't go anywhere, they continue on with Trey Lance and Jimmy likely gets another 100+ million dollar contract with somebody like the Jets, Giants, Falcons or Colts. Teams who desperately need QB help but likely won't be in a position to draft it.

Niners have to pay market price. As Part of the contract pay cut Jimmy agreed to for this season, SF doesn’t have the option to tag him.

So if teams are coming to Jimmy with deals for $65-$75 mill in guaranteed money. SF has to match it. Going to make back that $12 mill or whatever pay it he ending up taking for this year to return to SF. Jimmy played the long game. Wasn’t just about the $20 odd mill he was due this season. As it played out he’s going to get a nice payday in the off season.

I think Wilson has all the physical attributes. He’s very weak mentally and I don’t see any leadership qualities in the guy. His career is far from over, but it will be over a lot sooner if he doesn’t get his head into it.

 

[GKJ]

Just an amazing display of apologizing



You don’t have the yips for years at a time. He just sucks and the whole planet saw it coming.

Not a 49ers fan but I didn't like the Lance pick. Always weary of guys who only have one year of experience in college & in his case it wasn't even in the FBS.

Niners are lucky that even tho they paid a lot to get him, its not like he was going to make or break the team. They're talented enough to be a playoff contender with or without him.

Depth was a big reason why they did it

 

[BKIslandersFan]

As much as I do not believe in Jared Goff he might just be enough for Jets to win. And if that Rams pick end up being high Lions can draft a QB.

The problem is his contract, of course.

No it’s not, Goff’s contract isn’t prohibitive anymore.

North Dakota St is better suited for developing pro qb’s than almost any d1 school out there.

Weird take considering the only NFL QBs they've produce are Wentz & Lance. Which as of this post, isn't exactly a ringing endorsement.
