The Jets are not cursed at QB

The Jets are not cursed at QB....just stupid.

A couple of years ago, Douglas was considered a shrewd GM for being able to unload Darnold for a 2nd rounder. Guess what? Darnold is looking pretty good. Still happy with the 2nd rounder?

This off-season the Jets will likely cut ties with Wilson and take a negative cap hit which couldn't be much more of a stupid move even if Mike White is the future. Losing Wilson will require the team to part ways with a player that helps the team greatly. And yet some of you think this is a good idea.

I don't know what the future holds for Wilson but he has the talent to be a star in this league. He probably needs a shrink because he's afraid to take chances that he needs to take to grow...and this is why he didn't progress. Yet he's written off and a ridiculous narrative about him not being able to succeed because he's a spoiled rich kid may prove itself to be nonsense.

How about Geno Smith? His career numbers are decent believe it or not in spite of having Stephen Hill to throw to.

Come on Man. Now We need to repair Wilsons psyche as well? Gimme a break. Will that cure his terrible footwork or piss-poor decision making? How about those lovely overthrows and balls delivered on one bounce? Wait, wait its everyone elses fault because they didn't hold Zachs hand and lead him to victory. Yes, yes lets kiss his ass and tell him how good he is while EVERYONE else seems to get its time to move on. Its obvious this Kid should have been holding a clipboard from the beginning and I doubt He would be much better than He is now. Some guys have it, Some guys don't. You can't wish it into them or give it to them by force of will. Zach doesn't have it.

It's the same crap from Jets fans after every QB.

"Great QB prospect.
Shows promise on the field
A little setback
The guy sucks and is worthless.
The guy on the practice squad is better.
The Jets are curse by Joe Namath
The team implodes.
The Jets have a high draft pick
<rinse and repeat>"
...and all during that cycle, every good qb that becomes is not good enough for that team.

Sure, LOL at my post. But LOL doesn't make you intellectually superior....but rather exposes you as a fool.

Regarding the bolded, that's not what I'm saying. But there's a lot more blame to go around than one player. How did Mike White do today?

The team is invested invested in Wilson whether anyone likes it or not. Shooting itself in the foot to get rid of him is about the stupidest move that the team can possibly make.

The coaching is the problem. The QB's are the problem. The GM might be the problem who chose this shitty coaching staff.

All 3 QBs suck. Maybe something else is wrong....hmm

This SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. MORE EFFING EXCUSES. Yet I'm the fool? When you can't see whats right in front of you and you blame it on intangible bullshit? If Zach Wilson Can't handle pressure and cant"grow"(makes me want to beat the shit out of someone hearing that) He's in the wrong business and the wrong place.

Darnold? Wrong. He's a decent backup who cannot sustain over a season. He's proven that injury wise and performance wise.

Its not the same crap after every Jet QB. Its the same crap when every so-called prospect flames out and guys like you can't see it and we all have to listen to your bullshit AD NAUSEAM. Stop making excuses. After this Season I don't think Zach is salvageable as a QB, at least in NY.

On the plus side, it will be easy to sign Mike White to be the backup. The bad thing is we still have no QB.

Oh Yeah and I am not saying cut Zach or get rid of Zach, I'm saying Zach does not have the tools to be an NFL QB in NY.

I'll reiterate. The team is invested in Wilson for next season whether or not anyone likes it. So, the team has to try and find a way forward. If there was a clean way of cutting Wilson, I'd probably be on board with not wasting more time on him. But I'd also be on board with Darnold returning.

Regardless, there's a problem with coaching.

I don't agree with that. I think he needs a lot more work though and was not worth the 2nd overall pick. I thought that last year too. And earlier in the season when the Jets were successful, I was concerned that he wasn't growing.

Agree to disagree. Zach has the physical talent but not the instinct for the game. He shows that every time he takes a snap. He tries to bull his way to the big play instead of taking what is given.....come on are we watching the same games here? If you can't see it by now you most likely never will.
Maybe Zach needed to hold a clipboard in this League but that effectively ended when they changed the rookie pay scale. Now you have less time to develop them. Puts a major snag in that plan for any team. Zach will most likely have to find another place to "grow".

None of it matters. This team is just not that good and most likely will give up on the system before the system has a chance to make it better.
Blame the curse.
Blame the 2-8 finish
blame the same old jets
blame whatever you want it won’t change the outcome

Just seen a mock draft that has the Seahawks taking C J Stroud with the #3 pick. That leaves the coast clear for Douglas to swoop for Geno! Wouldn't be the first time the Jets released a QB and then traded to get him back.

The Jets may not be cursed but something wrong is definitely going on! Look at teams like the 49ers. They always seem to get it right. Whether it’s just for a span of a few years to a decade or so of consistent franchise QB play. It started out with Montana (if I’m correct). Then it went immediately after to Young. Two first ballot Hall Of Fame guys.

Then, A. Smith who was average to above average, can we at least have that??? Then Kapernick that didn’t last as long but gave them some consistent play for a few years. Now they have Jimmy G who did well for them a few years. Trey Lance who might be excellent but just got injured and this rookie they drafted as the very last pick. Where the hell did this kid come from?

This kid Purdy is an excellent QB or so far he is. Why can’t the Jets ever have nice things like this??? QBs just seems to fall into the 49ers laps. Other teams also like the Steelers, Chiefs, Patriots, Packers but never the Jets! We draft QBs high in the first round like it’s going out of style and still can’t get it right. What the FUCK is going on here!!!

Purdy has excellent coaching. The Jets do not. Thats the difference. Purdy would be Zach on the Jets.

Purdy is 10 times better than Zach! He just has it and Zach doesn’t. Please don’t sit here and act like coaching is that horrible on this team. This team has weapons galore and a decent defense and special teams. They are very capable of scoring points and have been very capable all year.

It doesn’t matter how well you coach or plan and scheme, if you don’t have the players or QB specially to make it happen than you’re screwed regardless. The Jets apparently don’t have that! Coaching could be better, I’ll admit but this ain’t all on coaching. It’s on the players as well. The QBs primarily!
