What concerns me more with White is INTs. Last time he played, White went from a hero the previous week to an INT machine. I'm hoping he clicks.
Wilson Will Be Benched as per SNY
- Thread starter NewMFS62
- Start date
The fans will be calling his name from the first snap.
Or maybe after white's first incomplete pass.
Later
At the end of the day Zach was 5-2 and threw for 4 TD's. That screams a good defense and running game. I hope he learns from this and can become close to what his arm talent looks like. White used to be a pitcher that threw 90mph fast balls so he has arm talent too. If he can hit a check down which is basically all he did vs the Bengals then we can make the playoffs. When he was on the field vs the Bengals last year I saw a team rally around his energy. I've rarely seen that with Zach. In fact, I've watched teammates not even come help him up after a cheap shot.
I’m truly hating that Zach is sitting right now for and of our back ups but I think understand 1,000 percent that’s it’s a necessary evil. This has to be done!
That Saleh quote is the reason I support this coaching staff. We have smart people in the building, between him and Douglas.Just read that Flacco will be the backup on Sunday, with ZW inactive. Wow. Although Saleh gave ZW some light through the clouds:
"Zach's career here is not over," Saleh said. "I know that's going to be the narrative and I know that's what everybody wants to shout out, but that's not even close to the case. The full intent is to make sure Zach gets back on the football field this season. When that is, I'll make that decision. I'll take it day-to-day."
Jets bench Zach Wilson, turn to Mike White as starting QB
The Jets are benching Zach Wilson for Sunday's game against the Bears and will start Mike White, coach Robert Saleh said Wednesday.www.espn.com
That’s why I say be careful what you wish for. White has played one good game for the Jets. Personally, I’d have Streveler as the #2 this Sunday. I like his mobility and running ability when things break down. Flacco is a smart guy and a good dude, but he’s a statue in the pocket. A sack waiting to happen.
Let’s hope White can just game manage our way to victory and the D can shut down the Bears. Just win baby. 7-4 and we’re still looking really good.
I agree 98.76543%
You have more faith in those guys than me. I never understood the ZW pick. He seemed to come out of nowhere overnight to get the #2 nod. I had wanted Fields, even over Lawrence. The jury is still out on fields, but I think he will succeed ultimately. But a guy who runs as much as Fields always gets injured and hurts his team.
And JD could have had Minshew for next to nothing. Kudos to the Eagles for adding him to their team. Leaving us with ZW, Flacco, White and Strev is just not good enough. If Minshew was on the roster tight now, and taking over for ZW instead of White, we'd be sailing into the playoffs.
He may have been a little late saying these things but cut the kid some slack. He said all the right things. Nobody’s perfect. He made a mistake just like every person typing away on these message boards has their entire lives.
Well of course Jets start White against and crappy Defense and a piss poor Offense with injured QB! Jets are dumb, I would start Zach and tell him to light up this team with 400 or more passing yards or lose your job! Make it a put up or shut up game for Zach! This crap make White look good against a bad Defense. I guess after 18 games Zach is gone! Oh well same old Jets not getting a Center and Vet WR to help Zach so back to same old dart board shit. 54 years I’ve stood by my Jets and happy with current team but helping our QB we are Stupid. Treat Zach as a Man and not some high schooler. Put up or back up Zach
I’m his BIGGEST CRITIC now but I’m rooting for this kid more than anyone! Damn I don’t want the Jets to draft another QB for another 15-20 years. So get your shit together Zach and show us you can do it. PLEASE!!!
You forgot pretty in before please
Lol, my bag!
it seems he learned something already. That’s good. Just hope he can figure out how to be a QB now. What you said about all us guys on message boars, i think I know what you meant, but it comes across at first, as a shot at everyone. Probably not meant to be. Maybe like Zach’s comment
This was the right call. Wilson’s lack of accountability and oblivious nature of just how bad he is and what he is costing the team, threatened to cause a complete locker room meltdown.
He needed to be humbled, he needs to hold the clipboard and learn. Hopefully this pushes him to mature and be a better player.
He wasn’t getting it, this had to happen.
