Do the Jets have a quarterback controversy?

[gmf1369]

What to know: Quarterback Mike White, in his first career start, delivered one of the Jets' most memorable wins in years. In a word, he was sensational. He did what injured starter Zach Wilson hasn't: He energized the franchise by playing "boring" football, to use coach Robert Saleh's word. White played a smart, conservative game, throwing underneath and hitting his checkdowns. He wound up passing for 405 yards and three touchdowns, the Jets' first 400-yard performance in 327 games. He didn't attempt a pass over 20 yards, and he got the running backs and wide receiver Elijah Moore involved in the passing attack. White did have two interceptions, but they weren't bad decisions, just slightly off-target throws. A no-name QB gave the Jets their best win in years. -- Rich Cimini
One thing is for sure: White earned another start. He will start Thursday night against the Colts, no doubt. Joe Flacco, acquired in a trade, had designs on that gig, but it's not happening. What about long term? Wilson (knee) may miss one more game. If White has another big game, the Jets will have a decision to make. Clearly, Wilson is the future, but the future can wait a little bit, right? -- Cimini

Cimini's confidence rating (0-10): 6, up from 2. From one of their worst losses to one of their best wins in a span of seven days.

Hot hand plays. Wilson may have more talent, but this team needs to win for the chemistry to grow. Players want/need to win.

after 1 1/2 Games Mike White ties Zach Wilson season total of 4 Touchdowns & has over 50% the yards Wilson has in five games...
not to mention that completion percentage woof...

 

[TebowCan'tThrow]

Way too many INT's, but he at least moves the offense efficiently.

 

[butterscotch]

White is the man

well White's interceptions today were caused by helmets getting in the way of hands...

I think the next three days prep, he will be more settled down and could have another lights out performance in Indy...

shit, if he throws for just 300 yards he will make Zach look like a toddler putting up ridiculous stats and proving we have a controversy, and there is no way this coaching staff can just turn over the keys back to the rookie if Mike continues to play well...

I agree

I fixed it :

Do the Jets have a quarterback ?

I like what happened ( actually stunned)
But like I said at the beginning of the week
Bengals on the road after emotional division win due for a let down
White looked great and so did the play calls
That unnecessary roughness call on 3rd down was a ridiculous call that saved the victory
Titans and Bengals are two quality legit playoff teams
Let's see if we can make it happen again riding an emotional high Thursday

you would hope not anyway

players seem to like him a lot too, as evidenced in the post game interviews

got to your room...

 

[Bigmoe]

yup

Is he any good ?

got to your room...

I can't my wife threw me into the basement

 

[Fudbutter]

Answer is certainly yes

Fan base will be split between Johnson and Flacco and knock down arguments will ensue

This is going to be a mess until Carolina finally has enough of Darnold and trades him back here

 

[gastineau]

Omg what a stupid thing to think. Lmao. Funny thing is why havent Jets copied Patriots play book for their Rookie QB? Ive been bitching about this all season. Sunday Jets copied Pats play book and White looked great. Simple passes just like Pats QB . The thing is our OC finally gets it sitting in skybox calling Patriots schemes. So I hope when Zach comes back Jets continue to run and copy Patriots play book. Colts Defense is real and be interesting how they play Jets copy of Pats Offense. Also Zach beat the Titans who I feel was a better team than Bangles who hasnt been good til this year beating average teams. Bengals are now best in that division that was NFLs toughest and now blah.

 

[Seaver41]

maybe this was the best tonic for Zach to take - playing as simple as take what opponent gives can work. I will say this though - horrible job by the Bengals DC. No adjustments as they repeatedly left the RBs open (looked like Jets in NE last week). We still need to see a better defense take that easy stuff away and make White adjust. Bengals did none of that. Still what a performance and exhilarating win.

 

[Seaver41]

I don't see this becoming Matt Robinson/Richard Todd

 

[TonyFtLaud]

According to Saleh, it's possible that White remains the starter going forward.

This cannot go understated! Saleh said that he had to stay there too!!!

 

[skop]

i bet Zach goes back to starting when healthy.
LaFleur has been told he is staying in the box.

if we are going to compare, condemn, contrast, we have to do so with apples to apples.
Let's see what happens on Thurs with Mike, and then when Zach returns with LaFleur calling from the box

There is a reason MW was drafted in the 5th, and didn't hang onto a team as a backup, let alone beat out a starter.
There is a reason Zach was drafted #2 overall.

Keep in mind...not sold on Zach, and would love to have our own (don't skewer me for dubbing it this way) "Tom Brady Rags to Riches Story".

White was unbelievable. Maybe the next Joe Namath or a one week wonder! I believe a lot had to do with our OC being up in the box to monitor what was going on. That's what he should have been doing with Wilson. Well, we don't need Flacco.
