QB Problems in NY?

Zach Wilson said his "style of plays needs to get more like" Mike White. 

Wilson said White is his best friend on the team and that he would try to emulate White's patience and willingness to check down to the open man once he returns to the Jets' starting lineup. Jets players reportedly chant "Mike White" every time the quarterback enters the team's locker room; they've yet to chant "Zach Wilson" when the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft strolls through the locker room. It's an undeniably awkward situation for Wilson, White, and the Jets decision makers. White could make it even more awkward if he fares well against the tough Buffalo defense this Sunday. 

 

 

Should we try to fleece (I mean get fleeced by) the Jets in the offseason for Wilson? All jokes aside, It will be interesting to watch how this all ufnolds in New York. Especially considering Mike White is on a one year deal with the Jets. Watching Mike White against the best passing defense in the league this Sunday will be an interesting watch, and a name to monitor.

As someone who really liked Wilson in the pre-draft process...

He has looked absolutely horrendous.  And not in a, "well, he's just a rookie" way like Trevor Lawrence or Justin Fields.  Those guys at least look comfortable with the speed of the game.  Wilson looks like the game moves way too fast for him.  Makes the OL look worse because of his horrendous feel for the pocket.  Locks onto the first-read and never goes off of it.  Accuracy is putrid.

He could still get better, but I wouldn't count on it.

He plays a lot like Johnny Manziel did. Which is to say, horrendous.

Have to be a mid round pick which the jets would never give him up for this quickly. Love the talent, like some of his movement and throws are Aaron Rodgers esque but he needs work. He’s a better prospect then Darnold imo. More of a fluid athlete/thrower. But don’t do what we did with Darnold for a high round pick again unless you’re getting a known qb.

QB's in particular can be ruined by the situation they are drafted into.  The league is littered with talented QB's who got thrown into a bad situation and never recovered.

Drafting a QB at any point is just a crap shoot anyway.  You roll the dice, you take your chances.  It's still way too early to call it quits on Wilson. 

I don't like the Manziel comparisons at all.  Zach Wilson has shown more toughness in half a season than Manziel showed in his career.  Zach Wilson may flop, just like any QB.  But he ain't Johnny Football.

Let’s just draft somebody. We already learned (I hope) the hard way 

Like Wilson?  

Don't get me wrong, I didn't care for the Darnold trade, but drafting is also a crapshoot that fails a lot more often than it succeeds.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
