Breer On The Wilson Process

The Jets also got feedback on his personality and developed their own opinions as to how it would play in New York. Wilson’s throwing coach, former NFL QB John Beck, was a tremendous resource along the way, too, telling the team he’d never seen a more natural thrower at that age, or a quarterback who could throw that effortlessly off-platform, but also that he was a smart kid with enough of a cocky edge, and self-awareness, to take slings and arrows in New York.

Not for nothing, but John Beck promoting Zach Wilson amounts to little more than self-promotion. The tuition for the John Beck School for QBs went up as soon as Zach went #2 overall, and so did enrollment.

No.  Not really.   Everyone QB can do this.  Hell, give some highlights of my intramural Flag Football Championship game from 22 years ago and I can tell you the exact play, down and distance and my entire thought process as I willed our team to victory!

You really think this?  That every QB could recall that information based off a scoreboard screen cap?

So the Jets FO had Zach above Trevor. Wow. 

In what they felt was a better fit for their scheme... that really isn't much of an issue... it's similar to a player playing out of position... NC 1st started Lawrence Taylor as a middle linebacker... he was terrible... they switched him to OLB & the rest is history.

Nice! I can remember every pre and post game meal I ever had. Delicious, great call!

I'll make sure moving forward, I only say the nicest of things about Zachypoo so that I dont hurt your feelings and ruin it for others, okay, sweetheart ////rubs his back to console his little stressed out heart.

No, you’re a grown man and you know what you’re doing and exactly how you’re doing it. I mean, honestly, what are you even going on about? It’s not impressive to you? QB’s do it all the time?(they don’t btw), fine, but no one is blind and everyone sees you’re doing some intentional slighting to poke the bear, when you know damn well, if the pick was Fields you would be in here enjoying the hell out of yourself & probably telling us how rare it is he can recall those plays instead of telling us how common it is.(Too bad Fields has the processor of a 68 year old man) The narrative & limitations of impression changes with each QB for you.

out of curiousity, in forming your infallible opinion on the QB class, how many zoom calls did you conduct while watching coaches' film? (initial post edited as it made absolutely no sense)

No your point is to crash the Wilson thread and ruin it for others 

 

 

actually, it's to stake out a position beforehand, whereas if wilson doesn't succeed, he can claim he was right.  and if wilson does indeed succeed, he will claim he's a jets fan like all of us and he just wants whats best for the team

win-win for him

He didn’t have to. Remember, JiF should be a GM, as he told us. JiF knows more than the rest of us. When JiF takes a sh*t, it smells like a bundle of roses.

yeah, but more importantly, he can claim he was right!!!

[Jets0712 812]

You already were told what he did just by looking at the tape.  
It impresses offensive minds like LaFleur and defensive minds like Saleh.
Not good enough when your guy couldn't and wasnt allowed to read defenses, needed cards on the sidelines for help.

thanks to the OP for posting this.  love reading such insight into the process.  

wilson may or may not be the answer.  i'm sure we all hope he is.  but it's great to read the efforts the staff went through in coming to the decision.

Some of these guys are too old to be acting like huge babies who play spiteful because they didn’t get their way. Enjoy handling the conflict of rooting for the Jets & rooting against Zach Wilson at the same time. It won’t work if you’re wondering.

Pretty smart actually. Remember there weren’t any team visits this year.

[bitonti 43,707]

Everyone knows my opinion on the ZW matter by now. But I have been allowing myself to feel optimistic about this draft just to see how it feels 

As for Zach wilson himself I'm a measurements guy but there's some aspects of scouting that can't be measured 

It's like being on the admission office for medical school. This one has straight a's. That one has perfect tests, and another has published research already. 

But maybe the best doctor is the one who works 72 hours straight and likes doing it. 

Wilson seems like a dude who works harder than Sanchez and darnold combined and maybe that's more important than being 6-5 or running a 4.3

At least that's the hope.

[varjet 4,089]

This is what I am thinking now if I am JD and the Johnsons:

• Although we can argue whether it is the best system (for the Northeast I would prefer a Ravens/Steelers offense and defense, which we basically used to have), we have adopted the Shanahan offense and Carroll defense.  
• We have drafted a QB at 2 who should be able to execute the offense almost perfectly, if he holds up.  Let's find a backup who can do that as well.  Not sold on Morgan.  Don't think Foles is that guy either.  Mullens, maybe Hoyer.
• We drafted a bunch of athletes to play the back 7 of the defense.  Let's get these guys signed, in the weight room, and developed, and let's keep doing that. 
• The Jets should be constantly looking for a second QB for this system.   Morgan was likely a poor man's Manning dropback Gase prospect who may not suit the Shanahan/LeFleur system that we own now.  Davis Mills could have been a flyer.   I really like the idea of "next QB up."

It is. I’ve brought this up before, my favorite sports player of all time, Damian Lillard, he’s 6’2 195, that’s extremely average for a point guard. He got zero offers to big programs, he accepted the one he had that was from Weber State, he doesn’t really get noticed until his senior year, he goes #6 overall to the Trail Blazers and becomes one of the best shooters of all time, most shooter clutch of all time and has millions of game breaking accolades on his record now and he’s only 8 years in. Sometimes the dedication of the craft and the heart measure out more important.

Yeah, that's an all timer.  Especially since we know half the board could have done a better job then those dudes but I'm used to the onslaught.  It was no different when I was pro Watson/Mahomes and half the board was telling me their bust/4th round picks and they either still believed in Hack, liked Trubisky better or wanted to wait for Darnold.  Let me repeat, these same dues railing on me this year preferred; Hackenberg, Trubisky and Darnold over Watson/Mahomes.

That's some next level chess playing right there.  This would require intelligence I do not have therefore, I will take this as a compliment.

Well hopefully Zach Wilson leads his team to a title unlike Dame (who never will). That's all I care about
