Wilson back to practice, does he get handed the start?

We seen two veteran quarterbacks come in and dominate with this game plan... Now since the hiring of QB coach Beck he has talked LaFleur into dialing back the rigger of his play calling to allow the offense mainly the offensive line to grow within the game plan rather them trying to execute it perfectly from the jump...

There was no in between the quarterbacks and LaFleur and I am just assuming that Mr. LaFleur was stuck in his own way until another voice came in telling him it is so complicated that they can not get on the same page... Because of this, regardless of how healed Zach is after that gruesome shot he took, should he be handed the job back if he is lets say 80% healthy but is capable of playing against Buffalo?

We seen what both Mike White and Josh Johnson can do in this scheme and the players have rallied behind both guys, I understand that we drafted Zach to be that guy BUT, does he need to sit another week and come in a less stressful opponent in the Dolphins who are arguably struggling on both sides of the ball?

If not mistaken, Josh Johnson has been called up twice for games and that is it for him unless they sign him to the active roster possibly the reason they went out and got Joe Flacco as insurance... My opinion means spit, but I think he roll with the hot hand regardless of the off season idea of who they picked to lead this team.... If Mike is able to grip the ball, throw the ball then his command of this offense is evident, and having the rookie inserted into a high profile division match up is ridiculous... Yea I get it he has ten days to get ready but one hit if he is not fully healed he could be lost for the season... And possibly even longer, just because it was a strain but that strain could become a tear more easily now if he is not one hundred percent....

Be precautious?
Thrust him into action?
Let him sit another week behind Mike White who proved he is capable?
Let Mike White continue as long as he stays productive?
So many questions, what is your thoughts?

No reason to rush him back, lets him sit and watch and he can get back out there in a few weeks

White should start as long as he keeps playing at a high level. I think that LaFleur’s game plans were terrible when Zach was playing. Nevertheless, you can lose the locker room if you sit a hot QB. IF White stays hot for the rest of the year, so be it. I actually think that Zach would benefit from sitting and seeing the benefits of taking what the defenses give him, rather than trying to play hero ball.

2 things
LaFleur wanted to be up in the booth even with Zach under center...
And
the game plan is the same as before he dialed back the blocking schemes while simplifying the aggressiveness so they can learn by doing...

if Zach is healthy he should be able to orchestrate this game plan BUT you always stay with the HOT hand because the ball thrown by both QBs are different and we know Wilson can not throw the short shit effectively until he proves it repetition in practice then maybe you make the change but until then not now...

"The good thing with Zach is we don’t have to teach him how to do the spectacular. He just has to learn how to do the boring stuff and learn that the boring can be explosive, can be spectacular too."
-Robert Saleh

Come on guys, if Zach is ok Jets needs to start him. I dont see how sitting him against Bills while healthy makes him better. Zach will figure this out just like our OC has. Now OC has figured it out Zach should look better . Team supporting him confidence in playing is the right way.

If Opie can practice, he can play and if he can play he should start . This season is about finding out what we have on this roster and how we proceed forward. We know that we have a capable backup who has shown that he can run our offense . What we need to find out is how far behind is the kid we spent the #2 overall pick in the draft is and if he warrant moving forward with as the starter or sitting and developing while watching how the offense is executed.
Throw him in the deep end and let’s see if he can swim or sink before we have to save him .

it depends on how okay, if he is healthy but not 100% then he needs to sit...
he also needs to prove in practice that he can check it down not force the issue has he did to start the season...

at the same time we have two knowledgeable signal callers capable of running this offense and a wiley old veteran that like Josh Johnson and Mike White should be able to execute said game plan...

Zach proved he can hit deep balls but also proved he could not hit the right side of a barn on a short three yard pass...

Until he can do that consistently in practice then and when healthy that is when he should start...

Saleh says he hasn’t made a QB decision yet, but hints that Wilson may need another week before he’s fully healthy. Sounds like they will be conservative with re to Wilson.

Of course that’s the case….. and if White balls out Sunday (and maybe we win) , Zach will have a mysterious set back next week

Wilson had done nothing to win the job in the first place other than his draft status and he as done nothing this season to deserve to get the starting job back. Make this kid earn it. See how bad he wants it and if he is good enough to take it back. Players on the team will respect that.

At this point I dont care if Jets start Woody at QB. This season is toast and games not close. Titans was best team Jets beat. Bangirls wasnt a great team as Jets barely won and Browns pounded them. Bangirls are all hype. Season easier for Jets than first 6 games Defenses, but bad level Jets are we could get first pick. QB is a non issue. But if Wilson is healthy they will start him and Jets wont if he isnt. Simple White isnt the future beating Bangirls team.lmao cmon guys.

Woody Fryman? Woody Harrelson? Woody Woodward?

You can't mean Woody Johnson, he's a frail old man and he'll have to be scraped off of the turf after the first play. If that happened at home, it would make all his many many fans sooooo sad to see him carried off and it would just plumb ruin their day

I think they need to sit Wilson for another week. The Bills are tough and if he comes back and plays like shit, the fans are going to boo him out of the building. Let White handle the Bills game, and bring Wilson back in another week.
