Why are YOU upset about the Zach Wilson signing?

[Ray R]

I agree with most of your thoughts on points 1-3. I would say on point 3 that it should be up to our HC and Frank Smith to work with ZW and adapt the offense when Tua is out to tailor it to Wilson's strengths and minimize his weaknesses. McLovin didn't or couldn't do that last year.

On point 2 a year with Sean Payton had to be a big step up after Zach's experience with the coaching and offensively challenged Jets. Wilson barely had a minute to catch his breath in his first three years with Jets, thrown in right away as a rookie and his backup status lasted about 4 plays in his third year when ARod tore his Achilles. Maybe a year with an offensive mind and no real pressure will do him good,

I think the Jets treat young QBs horribly, Look at the legacy from Geno Smith to Mark Sanchez to Darnold to Wilson. They're thrown right in, often with little skill position support or solid coaching. I live in Morris County, NJ, close to the Jets practice facility and offices and you didn't hear that Zach was a bad kid, he did get in trouble with the NY tabloids who goaded and pushed him to crap on his teammates for 2 years so I'm giving him a break on that. The NY Post has broken much tougher and more experienced people and celebrities than Zach Wilson

It looked like Zach showed the ability to make plays outside the pocket in his last year with the Jets. I remember him working with Rodgers and showing some ability to throw on the run and keep the play alive when the pocket broke down. That was a pretty small sample in the preseason and I think three or four regular season games after Rodgers got hurt but there is ability there.

I can't justify this move completely bc I had the understanding Grier was going to get a more finished and experienced QB to be the backup

Who would that have been?

 

[Ray R]

Upset may be a stretch...disappointed, sure. I'm not invested enough at present to get "upset" by anything Ross/Grier do.

This team's cap is 1-and-done as it is...he doesn't move the needle, particularly if (when) Tua gets hurt again. I'd rather kept the hot garbage we have at a cheaper price than bring in an unreliable $6M turd, who doesn't even know how to spell "team"...since we're not contending anyway.

And I can hear the argument now..."if we had him last year, we woulda made the playoffs!!" And while probably true, I couldn't care less. Unless we are "seriously" moving into contender status, back-up QB matters right up there with 3rd string kick-off team gunner, IMO.

Develop a youngster who at least shows at least some of the same skillset required for the offense. If you can't, well, what does that say?

Don't we get those "youngsters" in the draft? - LOL

 

[Ray R]

Yeah. That was a bad decision too. Look at how much money Miami has invested in backup QBs and where it gas got them. They would be better off not spending anything in that spot and drafting a developmental prospect at the position and let him be the backup. If Tua gets injured again, Miami will be in the market to replace him anyway. They should be looking now anyway.

Do you mean like making the playoffs two of the last three years? - LOL

 

[Ray R]

ZW does not fit this offense of undersized oline and lack of a power running game. The Jets never had a quality oline, as is true with Miami, the only QB that fits this offence is Tua, look at San Fran, same story, until they get a QB that can get the ball out in 20 seconds they will fail. Miamis offense was built around Tua, without him it does not work. So I am in the generally disgusted with the team camp

The Ever Disgusted By Incompetence VIPER

Clarification required. - LOL

Because that's how much backup QBs cost

Only if you are willing to spend that much. I say draft a kid in the latter round, spend nothing on him and if Tua gets hurt you are “tanking” anyway. If Tua gets hurt again, you are all in on replacing him next season.

Why isn’t there a “I’m not” option.

Not everyone on this website is dumb, you know.

My vote reflects my disgust with this organization.

Tell me again, why you are here.
I could use a good joke right about now. - LOL

I'd say do both and win twice. - LOL

 

[Charlie Rivers]

WAY too much money for a backup QB with such a questionable past.​

 

[clownfish]

This is like a gameday thread with all the bitching and moaning. So many grown men crying.

Damn. I got placed on ignore by a bunch of people after this comment. That or all the people I have on ignore all posted on page 7 of this thread. Because I have only 2 posts on that page.

Is the bangin moms thing really so bad?

In the modern-day USA, much worse sexual behavior (adultery especially) is widely accepted, however I'm figuring that it's the guy's questionable discretion that might be an issue.

Backup QBs ideally are only for spot starts. Theoretically, you want him to start no more than 2 games max. If any starting QB gets hurt for the season, that team is screwed no matter what. $6 million for a back up that can start a game or 2 is just the going rate nowadays.

I think Pickett has had more concussions than Tua. Lol

Wilson has talent. Anyone claiming he doesn’t hasn’t watched him.

His problem is mental. If McD can get Wilson’s head on right the Dolphins may have a steal here.

Why Grier and McDaniel keep going to jets for backup? We will see how it wk out. Still need draft qb in mid rd.

You do know how much we paid Brisket and Teddy right?

It's only adultery if I don't know about it. Oops I mean if husband's know about it.
