Jets faithful, I’m sure I’m not the only Jets fan who feels this way but I’m extremely nervous about this Zach Wilson draft pick. I would much rather the Jets draft Justin Fields but at this point, I would be just as nervous about that pick I must admit. It has been so many years that the Jets have drafted a QB in the first or second round and it hasn’t worked out for whatever reason.
I’m going to trust in Joe D and Saleh to make the right decision but I’m truly not feeling good about this Zack Wilson guy. He comes from out of nowhere from a 2nd or 3rd caliber D1 football conference and takes over Fields as the 2nd best QB in the draft, WTF???
When the Jets drafted Darnold I thought that was it. I thought we had our 15-20 year starter and success story. The QB that was going to help bring us our next SB championship. Strong dreams can die hard I guess. Over the past 25 years the Jets have drafted at least 5-7, QBs in the 1st or 2nd round and it has kicked us in the ass every time.
- Chad Pennington: could have been our success story but injuries killed that notion.
- Kellon Clemons: bust pretty much
- Christian Hackenburg: bust
- Mark Sanchez: mild success but nothing really worth mentioning
- Geno Smith: bust pretty much
- Sam Darnold: unknown at this point. He failed us for whatever reason. Whether the coaching staff, the weapons around him or the oline issues, he failed us. I think we can say this, not every play was he on his back or running for his life. He did have time to throw the ball or make something positive happen but most times he didn’t for whatever reason. He’s only 23 years old and still can turn it around. He just won’t be doing it with us.
Richard Todd and Ken O’Brien draft picks worked out pretty well for us. They played a decent amount of years and had some success but nothing to really stamp in history. Broadway Joe is all we have at this point and injuries cut his career short as well. Well so did all the alcohol, partying and women and all factors took probably 5 years off his career I would say. To be honest, Joe Namath stats wasn’t out of this world. Not compared to today’s standards anyway. He throw way more interceptions than he did touchdowns and his completion percentage was only 50%. His popularity and SB prediction and victory is really all we have to hold onto as far as he’s concerned.
This new regime will be under ALOT of scrutiny if Zach Wilson doesn’t work out and Sam Darnold does well in Carolina. It would be the same pressure and scrutiny if they drafted Fields and he didn’t work out and Darnold did well in Carolina. I just hope there right on this one!!!
