Zack Wilson is a player

[Shocker]

On his last sack, by defensive tackle Derrick Brown, Wilson said "it felt like I got hit by a truck for a second."

Well considering that Brown is built like a truck, I'm not surprised.

I have to agree. He looked good to me. We were in his face all day, it's his first game, and he was down 0-16 at one point. That last TD was placed on the money. Horn played great in coverage and it didn't matter. Just a great throw. Dude is good. Jets should be excited for the future.

He is legit but will be lucky to survive behind that OL

Agreed. And that was part of my point. We were all over him and I really did not see a lot of mistakes. That pick by Shaq, probably would have been a pick by Horn if Shaq wasn't there, but he def looked like he belonged out there (WITHOUT QUESTION). But totally agree, the Jets won't go far with that line, especially without Becton.

I think he’ll end up being decent. Why root for him to fail in his career? He’s not Taysom  Hill

Becton was their worst player before the injury

Yeah, that could end up addition by subtraction. Dude showed up way overweight and still looked way overweight and predictably slow. Now he might have a significant injury. Not looking good for his long-term NFL prospects.

That Marquis Haynes sack was comically bad on Becton's part. Dude has like 6 inches and 100 pounds on him but was getting strong armed back into Wilson the whole play.

Yep. I distinctly remember that play too.

Wow really? I didn't catch that. I thought he looked slow on one block that lead to a sack. But a lot of lineman will look slow with our rushers.

Wilson has the tools man.  It's a question of whether he survives.  The Jets have a player there, potential franchise QB.  But if they let him get abused for 17 games, he may not recover.  A lot of talented rookie QB's have gotten shell shocked and never recovered.

I wish the guy the best.  The league is much more entertaining to watch with QB's like Wilson.

The biggest takeaway for me was that the physical tools he displayed in college all translated to the NFL.  We are often wondering "can that kid do that against an NFL defense?"  The answer is yes.
