Kind words. Wish you well. Still waiting for Ham to show up for that fist fight he challenged me to. It's been a long 15 years sitting in this Staten Island Western Beef parking lot.

Better late than never?

Got it. Thanks. Maybe I'll pop back in around August.

This is a long thread. Can anyone summarize?

Haha - different animal entirely.

Lol…You may actually be a worse mod than Klecko was on JI.

The irony is I always saw being down on one player as less of a hater than blaming the entire team for that one player's performance.

Honestly, it's because personal attacks are now mod-sanctioned as long as it's coming from a pro-Jets point of view.

I mean, sure, if you want to be overly pedantic, you're probably right about your phrasing. But, for the rest of us who aren't writing novellas in every post, thinking it was anything other than terrible if the Jets would have kept Sam Darnold, regardless of Zach Wilson, was bad and proven quickly and hilariously wrong. My take, which you're welcome to call whatever you like, is that Zach Wilson isn't good. The data backs that up - calls it a slam dunk, in fact. My other take is that the game plan shifted once Wilson returned is also backed up by some data - even if some contextual factors play a role. By the way, my take is in support of the coaches. It's good that they changed the gameplan once Wilson returned - smart.

Ask Fidelio to point to one post of someone wanting Zach to fail. See what happens!

I don’t doubt that that’s the message he’s getting… I doubt whoever the messenger is is getting the truth, in this type of instance. Do you think that the only 3 guys who matter, Douglas, Saleh, and Lafluer, would leak anything outside of their inner circle that’s negative about Wilson right now?

I think, in general, the guy who said Sam Darnold was good, and lashed out at anyone who questioned him, should humble himself a wee bit when talking Jets QBs, before claiming others don’t know what they’re watching.

I mean, in fairness, while I don't question that this poster has some insider knowledge, the last guy he told us they were really happy with was traded away quickly thereafter, then that team decided that despite paying him 18M this year he was so bad they were still going to replace him and with Baker Mayfield, and now, after an injury, I think it's probably universally accepted that he's done in the league. I'm just saying, feel what you want about Wilson, but this may not be the ringing endorsement you're hoping it to be.

I don't know what analytics community you're subscribing to, but Football Outsiders was not a fan of him before, and it got worse after. Specifically, prior to Green Bay, he had a DYAR of 19 and a DVOA of -6.2. On Flacco vs. Wilson game plans, are you trying to insinuate that the 20 more times Flacco threw in the first half over just 3 games (more than Wilson threw in one full game and less by one pass in another) was wholly because the team was behind? Because, against the Ravens, they were down 10 at one point, and ended the half down 7. Against the Browns, they were down 7 on two different occasions, never down more than that, and tied at the half. The Bengals game is the only game where you could make the argument they abandoned the run early. I'd also suspect that types of passes called was more conservative under Wilson vs. Flacco, but I don't have any data on that.

We left with the pandemic, but top schools were a must from a values perspective. The camp thing is absurd, but we've priced it around and this is what it costs. I imagine at least 40% of that cost is just the insurance. Ours is longer than 6 weeks for that money though.
