2023 New York Jets (3 Viewers)

[Kiddnets]

The problem is Boyle is literally unstartable - he was only brought in because he knows the system. I dont understand the reluctance to add a real vet QB. Wentz would jumop at a chance to lead this team. They are either being stubborn, stupid or both - do they really want to die on the sword for Zach?

 

[jwb]

Sticking with Wilson would be a slap in the face for all Jets fans. Even if you're not a Jets fan, it's painful watching that guy flail around. They're basically saying to season ticket holders - "you paid already so we don't care if you like it or not".

Flail around... good description. He feels the pressure so hard, and is nervous almost immediately. I wanted to be optimistic, but it's clear he just doesn't have what it takes to even be a servicable backup.

I cant believe the #2 overall pick isnt even good enough to be a backup....but here we are.

Anyone catching the Justin Fields show in Chicago or the Trey Lance affair in Dallas?

These quarterbacks were all that bad. Mac Jones looks better than all of them, and he's awful.

Zach is so bad. The guys taken right behind aren't sniffing the field with any competence, either.

It's a QB-needy league and nobody can evaluate them. A real crap shoot.

True - but Zach is so bad it just makes me question JD and if he should be picking another rookie QB. Unless there is a team revolt - which frankly is possible - I think they want to give Saleh and JD a mulligan and give them next year with Arod. Its a bit crazy that the team is being held hostage by an injured 39 yr old QB but again here we are!

Just wait until they have a top 10 pick and take a qb over an OT.

 

[nightmare]

Watching M Judon go around M Becton for the sack was painful.
I'm not even a Jets fan and that was awful.

2021 was actually better than 2022 for drafting QBs. Purdy is literally the only QB worth anything from that draft.

Oh, I mistook what you were saying.

It went Lawrence, Wilson, Lance, Fields, Jones, so I thought you were saying that the whole 2021 class was trash.

Yes, 2022 was bad.

 

[Tanner9919]

I think you need to fire Robert Saleh. I don't care about injuries it's what now, 3-4 years of losing to the woeful patriots? it's just unacceptable. I don't care who your QB is if you can't beat mac jones you don't deserve to be a head coach for NYJ. buh bye bobby so tired of watching his losing ways. he's such a bad head coach

He's going to get destroyed each week he stands up there and defends Wilson. Joe Namath who rarely says a bad word about the Jets went on radio and basically said cut Zach and fire everyone lol.

I just dont see either Saleh or JD fired though no matter what - like it or not this franchise is tied to Rodgers and hes not coming back to a new regime. I think Jets fans are going to have to deal with the crazy facts that this regime is going to be here next year no matter what and for some reason they are going to send Zach out there each week.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Jets are signing Trevor Siemian. I’m pretty much done with this team, if they’re not willing to admit their mistake with Wilson and move on. I mean they’re not bringing in Siemian to start and even if they were it’s barely an upgrade.

Wentz must be a complete wack job

Agreed - this is throw a bone signing.....you want a new QB - here you go.

Siemien is awful....and somehow still better than Zach but doubt he will be inserted as the starter

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Siemien is awful....and somehow still better than Zach but doubt he will be inserted as the starter

Honestly I'd rather them play Zach on the longshot chance that something clicks. What's the point of putting in a journeyman that may be slightly better than Zach but still the worst starting QB in the league.

For a guy like Siemien it would only be to quell an all out mutiny.....which is not impossible. Jets are stuck with Zach at this point....depressing

 

[Dr. Octopus]

I was watching RedZone during commercials on Sunday and texting some friends saying that I wish they signed Minshaw and then a little later about how I wish they signed Dalton.

**** the Jets for leaving me actually wishing for Minshaw or Dalton at QB.

Nothing is going to click. He doesn't have it upstairs.

At this point, playing someone competent might be the only way to save the locker room and build SOMETHING for next year. Right now we're like 4 more Zack Wilson starts away from a Garrett Wilson trade request

I realize this but the trouble is Siemien is NOT competent. He's hot garbage and at least Wilson can run.

Simien: A comically bad solution to a comically bad problem

Breece and Garrett may move from unstartable to unrosterable fairly soon.

They tried to hit a double dip by getting Rodgers and trying to salvage Wilson - both blew up in their face.

Minshaw is $3.5M against the cap signed in FA - a bargain. The ghost of Randall Cobb is $3M......

 

[QuizGuy66]

Siemian was so bad in preseason for the Bengals - Browning wasn't all that great and dispatched him in the backup QB contest pretty handily. But you guys already know from him

Has Namath ever called for the dumping of a Jets QB before so publicly? Hard to get much more brutal for Wilson than that.

Cannot fathom that you guys are closing the book on the position for this season. Heck maybe Bellichik signing Will Grier off the Bengals practice squad wasn't just sticking it the Bengals.

Anyway notwithstanding all these please beat KC this week and shock the world.

Thanks

[Witz]

Listen…I get it. The situation sucks but really nothing they can do at this point.

Don’t like the Trevor signing either but if there was anyone halfway decent on the street now they’d already be with a club. Zach is terrible but so are all the other options out there that aren’t signed.

Ok so make a trade - who’s going to trade us their starter or quality backup regardless of the draft capital we’d be giving up? We are three weeks into the season - even teams that are 0-3 aren’t anywhere close to throwing in the towel this early.

I’ve seen Cousins thrown around as a possible trade candidate. Vikings are playing well despite their record so not sure how quick they’d be willing to trade him (although he’s a FA after this year so maybe they’d try to get sometime but again too soon).

Really don’t know there is an answer unfortunately. Ugh.

I agree with almost everything you say here. I would have swung for the fences with Carson Wentz. Sure he could implode- but we’re living with that anyway - but he could also continue making G. Wilson a star. He’d have decent weapons here and he’s mobile enough to deal with line issues (the line actually wasn’t bad against the Pats. Wilson was).

Outside of him, I’ve said no QB is coming in and taking the Jets to the playoffs.

Maybe I’m wrong and Siemian is competent enough to game manger them to the playoffs - but I’d honestly expect him to be slightly better than Zach and the new worst QB in the league - behind many backups.

 

[scoobus]

Could they not get one of Trubisky or Rudolph from the Steelers? Surely a team would be willing to part with their 3rd stringer for something.

Regarding Cousins, I recall reading that he has a no trade clause.
If true why would he waive it?

 

[rockaction]

Mason Rudolph and Mitch Trubisky might be worse than Zach.

Don't bother me with QBR numbers from the past years, I'm talking here and now. They're awful.

You'll get no argument from me that they're not awful.

On the flip side, I find it hard to believe there's a quarterback in the league worse than Zach Wilson.

 

[Kiddnets]

Id like to find out whats the issue with Wentz - I know he was bad his last 2 stops but not close to Wilson bad. Ive heard hes difficult but I havent heard hes a locker room killer. he is the only QB out there that doesnt cost picks and has solid experience. The guy was an MVP candidate a few yrds ago - I cant imagine hed cost a lot....he should be chomping at the bit to play for this team. I dont think hes retiring - so what gives?

 

[RC94]

I'm fine with seeing what Boyle has to offer over Wilson. The Jets have some young players who were on their way to being legit stars, like Wilson and Hall, and they will benefit more from a low-end game manager than a high school quality player like Wilson. Saleh needs to think about their development too.

 

[fantasycurse42]

Honest opinion, it’s hated by all Jets fans, is what it is.

Gotta keep rolling with Wilson. Not much out there, hopefully he figures it out, most likely won’t, enter the Williams sweepstakes worst/best case.

Two weeks ago I was thinking that the Jets should stick with Wilson because (a) there's nobody better available and (b) maybe Wilson will turn out to be okay. After the last couple of games I realize I was wrong and I see where you guys were coming from now. Yeah, he's brutal, and you have some A-tier talent on this offense that deserves better than this. If not for this season, then for their development for next season.

I don't know why Wilson plays competently against the Bills and nobody else.

 

[Runkle]

I don't think they draft a rookie QB and then trot him out week 1 next year as the full-time starter.

I also don't think they take a pass at this season and just wait for 2024 for a 40 year old Aaron Rodgers to play with no backup plan, again.

They know what they have with Zach Wilson.

So why NOT bring in a QB this season and kick the tires on him? Someone that could play out this season and either back up Rodgers or start while mentoring whoever they draft?

It's ludicrous to think they're just not going to compete this season AND give up on next year already. What are they doing not bringing in anyone? It makes no sense.

 

[wgoldsph]

Whenever someone brings up "worst qb in the league" I'm first to point out how Nathan Peterman still has a job.

After the first three weeks of the season that's no longer the case. Wilson has regressed from last year. He should not be on an NFL roster. He should not be on an NFL practice squad. He is the worst QB in the league. Nathan Peterman is a better qb than him.

 

[TLEF316]

I would have tried a hail mary with Wentz. We'll never know why they didnt and honestly at this point, I dont much care. The team threw all their chips in the middle and lost after 4 plays. Life of a Jets fan. The entire system was built around Rodgers and now they have nothing. My only hope is that we see some key developments over the rest of the year and carry over to next season.

No major injuries that will bleed into next season.
Becton in particular stays healthy and plays well, leading to them signing him to a reasonable contract.
Tippman continues to play and establishes himself as a locked in starter for next year.
Saleh realizes that it makes a lot more sense to give reps to guys like Ruckert, Gipson, Abinikanda and Brownlee (instead of Uzamah, Cobb and Cook) so they can see what they have.
Just make AVT the full time RT at this point(unless Becton sticks and they spend their first rounder on a tackle), I think. He's good enough to play there at a high level, so just make it happen.
Hope G. Wilson isn't so demorailized from this season that he never recovers.

They're basically stuck with Lazzard and Hackett for the forseeable future. Just gotta hope they're worth something close to their salaries with Rodgers back in the fold. But who the hell even knows what a 40 year Rodgers post-achilles will look like. They're going to have a top 10 draft pick, so hopefully they get an impact offensive player.

 

[sheerterror]

They're going to have a top 10 draft pick, so hopefully they get an impact offensive player.

They'll get an impact offensive player (which they STILL need) to try to help Rodgers in his theoretical last season, vs. having done that with THIS year's 1st rounder which they instead spent on a luxury pick, while foregoing drafting another QB which I think we all know needs to be done. I hate this effing team.

 

[Kiddnets]

Whats the point of drafting another rookie QB to start. They have shown over the past 30 years that they just cant draft/develop a good rookie QB. Its an offensive league and they continue to hire defensive coaches with of course the only exception being Adam Gase who is one of the worst in history.

Unless they hire some sort of offensive/QB guru they might as well go the vet QB route.

I was suggesting that they draft one to sit behind Rodgers next year (vs giving him the help at WR or OL that they SHOULD have done this year, injury notwithstanding) while bringing in a real back up QB - not bring that QB in to start immediately.

If we're going to legitimately repeat this season's attempt next year, do it the right way with a fresh young QB who isn't going to get insta-ruined by this franchise by being forced to play way before they are ready while simultaneously having no developmental support. We can compete next year while also getting ready for life after Rodgers, but this time with it not being an already known bust like Wilson.

I understand we have zero track record of developing a franchise QB that we drafted but that does not change the fact that we still need to do it. Next year would present the rare circumstance where we wouldn't have to throw them right into the fire, while also getting some mentoring from Rodgers who seemed happy to oblige in that role with Zach. BECAUSE we never hire the offensive/QB minded HC, I think it becomes all that more opportunistic to try to utilize Rodgers for that role while he finishes up his career. A rookie QB learning for a season (or 2) under Rodgers
might help make them more resistant to getting Jetted into incompetence once Rodgers retires. Jordan Love certainly looks to be benefitting from sitting and learning.

The idea of chasing a veteran stopgap while also thinking you've got a Super Bowl roster to surround him with at exactly the right time hardly ever works. Everyone wants to point to Brady, but he's legitimately incomparable to anyone else, ever. Even Stafford with the Rams was hardly a stopgap move, and also coincided with teaming up with one of the true "QB guru" type head coaches out there.

 

[Kiddnets]

I still dont understand how they spent a middle 1st rder on a luxury pick - 24 yr old pass rusher who barely gets on the field. Im sure he'll improve and contribute but Id much rather would have went WR once it was clear OL was not available

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Id much rather would have went WR

They didn't want to piss Randall Cobb off.

 

[TLEF316]

what an absolute joke of a franchise. Game is over in 11 minutes because you know Zach doesn't have a prayer of putting 17 points on the board

Starting to get on board with the end of the Saleh era. Rodgers going out shouldn't affect this allegedly vaunted defense and they've already totally quit. Either they're simply not that talented (which I'm not sure I believe) or they've given up knowing that they can't win without Rodgers anyway. And if that's the case, that's coaching.

 

[Runkle]

Well 12 minutes of good play and now you're gonna be stuck with Wilson for a while

 

[Dr. Octopus]

I stopped watching after the first quarter - didn’t think Zach had any chance to bring them back down 17-0. Glad to see the team fought hard - but I’m leery of Zach repeating a performance like that.

Have to give Zach credit for playing his best game of his career on the big stage against the defending champs. He made a few mistakes as usual, but hung in there, made some good throws, and actually showed some poise. I agree with you though that I'm not ready to say he's truly turned the corner - we've seen this before after a good game or two. Next week at Denver, even against a terrible defense, will be a good litmus test.

Would rather discuss Zach though than that non-holding call on Jermaine on 3rd and 22. I think he's still being held as we speak.

 

[Hugsy_Malone]

I stopped watching after the first quarter - didn’t think Zach had any chance to bring them back down 17-0. Glad to see the team fought hard - but I’m leery of Zach repeating a performance like that.

But he just earned another chance, so lamenting his non-downfall is for naught.

I think the problem is that he has so far to go that he can't possibly keep up with how good the team is. It's not that he's such a no-talent *** clown that the book is open and shut on him forever and ever amen. It's that they're asking him to do things still above his pay grade as far as reading situations and defenses go.

He was so far behind from the beginning. I'd say he was a bad pick, but he was a bad pick only if you were punting the position. Mac Jones looked worse than he did (if that's possible) against the Cowboys yesterday. A pick six, a strip sack for a touchdown, and just mind-boggling throws like Wilson threw.

The Jets problem goes back to Adam Gase and deciding to win those games before the year was over. Watching Trevor just utterly and calmly have his way with Desmond Ridder (who also looked worse than Zach Wilson yesterday) was a sad sight.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

But he just earned another chance, so lamenting his non-downfall is for naught.

Sure, he’s what they’re stuck with so obviously hoping for the best - just saying I’m not yet convinced, but it’s encouraging at least.

 

[zamboni]

The Jets problem goes back to Adam Gase and deciding to win those games before the year was over. Watching Trevor just utterly and calmly have his way with Desmond Ridder (who also looked worse than Zach Wilson yesterday) was a sad sight.

This is where the mental side of the position - and coaching - is so critical. As bad as Zach had it when he first was drafted, Trevor had it even worse under the tutelage of Urban Meyer. Trevor has managed to put it behind him and turn the corner (even if he's not having a great season), while Zach hasn't put it behind him at all, notwithstanding last night. Both guys have immense physical talent, but Trevor seems to have it ("it" meaning a good mental feel for the position as well as good coaching) a lot more than Zach does.

 

[TLEF316]

Turned it back on for the 2nd half. Zach obviously looked better but still made the critical mistake. Whatever, I'm not convinced. I honestly think he just blacked out for 20 minutes and played well.

And honestly it doesn't matter because unless you have a top 10 qb the refs will find a way to take it from you.

 

[mphtrilogy]

Zach played very well, he's taken more abuse then I can recall for a NY sports athlete and is still standing, gotta give him props for that. Was a shame he didn't get the ball back to get one more crack at redemption, incredible game by the refs, really awful stuff.
