They were both equally as shitty. And both drafted into equally as shitty teams.
Zach compared to the other young star/superstar QBs

ain't that the truth folks....but we have to give them both time like that famous soap opera " The Young and the Worthless" Now if Dwc is right they may become "The Bold and The Beautiful " only time will tell
I have less faith in the Jags to help Trevor. I can't believe I have more belief in the Jets since its so rare.
Dude I might have said one or two things about Joe Burrow. And probably not to you. On another forum you actually said Darnold was awesome. And you said you loved his ability as a freshman at USC. I never once sounded like you do for Wilson about Darnold. Hell I never talked up Sam like you did.

I'm waiting to see what Wilson does next season and I think it's early to compare him to any qb. However, there are some things that concern me:
1. The 2nd overall pick should be pro ready and Wilson clearly wasn't.
2. Early in the season, Mike White, Josh Johnson, and Joe Flacco all performed about the same and all were better than Wilson.
3. Robert Saleh said that Wilson can learn from watching Mike White, the guy they activated from the practice squad. This comment is actually the the biggest cause of concern.
Wilson did manage to get his int numbers down. But that was not coupled with an increase in productivity. In the last 5 games, he managed not to throw an int. But the Jets went 1-4, winning only against the Jacksonville Jaguars (who finished 3-14) by a measly 5 points. In 3 of those 5 games, Wilson's qb rating was below 70, and the Jet were -44 in point differential.
Bottom line:
It's too early to write the guy off. But I can't help but think that maybe the Jets were reluctant to bench him because of his contract.

I love when we get a great post that sums it up. You sir have just done it......let's let it play out. Time will tell. Also, lets not jump down other people's throats. We all have our say/.
So I have to wait for 13 years for Wilson to make it to the SB?? Wilson is going to end up somewhere between Stafford and Ryan Leaf. Stafford landed in the perfect spot because he was never going to get Detroit over the top. I sure hope he wins growing up in Dallas.
No problem my dude! Unlike some, unless it’s Darnold who could do no wrong in their eyes for three while he was here, Wilson struggled but like most rookie QBs that struggled he can find his way. IT’S VERY POSSIBLE!
OK, so Darnold had a brigade of weapons with Carolina this year and still couldn’t make it happen. Even got benched for Cam if I’m correct. What’s your excuse with that? I’m listening!!!
Naw, you don’t have to wait 13 years. Just pick another team to route for and your problems solved. The Bills, Chiefs, Chargers and Bengals are always taking on thirsty fans who want to be bandwagon riders! You see, problem solved!!!

I've put up with way too much shit to quit now. I live in Dallas and could have had 5 SB's in my lifetime. Somehow I chose the Jets, but it was my choice so I have to go down with the ship. I've tried.

Hey good things are worth waiting for I am on 126 years & counting. At least with the guardians it's 3....I hope
He sucks. Definitely bad he got benched for washed up Cam Newton. Is that what you want to hear? Jesus dude you also need to get over it. STOP FUCKING TALKING ABOUT DARNOLD.

It's not the issue it once was 20 years ago when the money for the second overall pick would've been a larger portion of the cap...sign a 5 year contract...player sucks for 1 year but gets huge money...even if he comes into his own on the 2nd year of a backloaded contract, a year later it has to be renegotiated up to keep him, if not the team is still on the hook for about 60% of it.
But it's still an issue.
Going 1-4 down the stretch cannot be hung solely on Wilson.
The defense, with all the injuries, was terrible as was the kicking game.
2nd Miami game, if Amendola or whatever his fucking name was, makes half his kicks, Jets win, I believe
Against the Eagles?? Kid couldn’t make an extra point.
Im sure it affected coaching strategies as well, at least until Piniero showed he can make a friggin kick.
Jets had the Bucs beat, ‘til they didn’t.
I am very excited for the future with Zach at the helm. I see a very special right arm, now the game started to slow down a bit for him at the end. When the roster is healthy and improved through FA and the draft, 2022 should be the start of the ever elusive turnaround. Going around .500 next year should be the benchmark of the rebuild.
You see, I finally agree with one of your post!
I’ll stop when you start showing Zach just a little bit of love! You won’t give this kid a chance and deep down inside you know that but you went down with the ship with Darnold. Absolutely makes no sense at all. SMDH!
I said he made progress. Thats all I'm giving him. Y'all know Zach doesn't read this stuff right? Nobody on here wants to read about you and I arguing about Darnold so I won't respond from now on. You and your buddy DWC can talk about it all you want. I told you a month ago that I didn't want to do this anymore, you agreed and now you want to start it back up. That's on you. Others have been way more critical of Zach than I have. If you want to ruin this forum talking about players that have failed with the Jets then you will be real busy.
It's all fun & games. I am not sold at all on sack I mean Zach but that means nothing only one year. Let's give him a few Like Murray.....well in second thought we may be in trouble....let it play out
