QB Problems in NY?

Zach Wilson said his "style of plays needs to get more like" Mike White. 

Wilson said White is his best friend on the team and that he would try to emulate White's patience and willingness to check down to the open man once he returns to the Jets' starting lineup. Jets players reportedly chant "Mike White" every time the quarterback enters the team's locker room; they've yet to chant "Zach Wilson" when the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft strolls through the locker room. It's an undeniably awkward situation for Wilson, White, and the Jets decision makers. White could make it even more awkward if he fares well against the tough Buffalo defense this Sunday. 

 

 

Should we try to fleece (I mean get fleeced by) the Jets in the offseason for Wilson? All jokes aside, It will be interesting to watch how this all ufnolds in New York. Especially considering Mike White is on a one year deal with the Jets. Watching Mike White against the best passing defense in the league this Sunday will be an interesting watch, and a name to monitor.

As someone who really liked Wilson in the pre-draft process...

He has looked absolutely horrendous.  And not in a, "well, he's just a rookie" way like Trevor Lawrence or Justin Fields.  Those guys at least look comfortable with the speed of the game.  Wilson looks like the game moves way too fast for him.  Makes the OL look worse because of his horrendous feel for the pocket.  Locks onto the first-read and never goes off of it.  Accuracy is putrid.

He could still get better, but I wouldn't count on it.

He plays a lot like Johnny Manziel did. Which is to say, horrendous.

Have to be a mid round pick which the jets would never give him up for this quickly. Love the talent, like some of his movement and throws are Aaron Rodgers esque but he needs work. He’s a better prospect then Darnold imo. More of a fluid athlete/thrower. But don’t do what we did with Darnold for a high round pick again unless you’re getting a known qb.

QB's in particular can be ruined by the situation they are drafted into.  The league is littered with talented QB's who got thrown into a bad situation and never recovered.

Drafting a QB at any point is just a crap shoot anyway.  You roll the dice, you take your chances.  It's still way too early to call it quits on Wilson. 

I don't like the Manziel comparisons at all.  Zach Wilson has shown more toughness in half a season than Manziel showed in his career.  Zach Wilson may flop, just like any QB.  But he ain't Johnny Football.

Let’s just draft somebody. We already learned (I hope) the hard way 

Like Wilson?  

Don't get me wrong, I didn't care for the Darnold trade, but drafting is also a crapshoot that fails a lot more often than it succeeds.

    • down 24 and we get our first possession in the 3rd and what happens?  run TE checkdown TE checkdown run run run RB checkdown TE checkdown run TE checkdown incomplete TE checkdown run now on the 4 yard line- Renfrow TD and POOF!  3rd quarter is over.  That's not a team even trying to get back into the game in reality.  That's just the Panthers taking freebies to make it look respectable in the end and guess what? Bryce gets to pad on 6/7 to his stat line in exchange for making the 3rd quarter disappear.  Not sure the hyper focus on the depth of the corners.  Cardinals were going to simply drop and allow the easy stuff underneath.  Which they did.  Did they play a random short yardage play a little different? Sure.  That doesn't' mean they weren't just letting the Panthers overall eat clock to bring the game to an end.  The Cards strategy was fine on D.  You just don't generally see teams implement it as early as they did but they were up pretty big.  It's the other units for the Cards that fugged the plan up.  again, it's 3 drives,  the ONE in the 3rd quarter and only drive of the entire quarter and the 2 to open the 4th.  Cardinals gave Bryce stuff in exchange for clock  (and the result was slow long drives eating the clock).  The rest of the game? They didn't.  The rest of the game outside of those 3 drives the Cards weren't in garbage allowance mode and Bryce stunk
    • But a serious question is, does he not see a guy come open because he misses seeing them on the field, which happens to every QB, or, is his vision blocked by the wide bodies in front of him instead of the helmets other QBs experience? For instance missing a wide open Chuba. Did he not see him or could he literally not see him? I tend to think the latter is a far bigger problem than we're being led to believe it is. 
    • Agree he needs to clean up the costly turnovers. My opinion is that he's pretty good other than that. But that's kind of a big deal, so absolutely needs to minimize that stuff or he can't succeed. I don't beat up a QB because he occasionally doesn't see a guy come open. Every QB does that - occasionally.
