Popular Post Zach Made Me a Jets Fan Posted May 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2021 ON THE JETS: The Jets have been my least favorite NFL team for my entire 43 years of existence. They simply have not been a fun team to watch, and to make them even less likeable they hired Adam Gase when the entire world knew it was an awful decision. It was crystal clear in Miami that he was a train wreck. The Jets have had crappy ownership with the Johnson family for a long time, and have only recently relinquished some control to their new GM Joe D. Joe D has brought new life to the fan base due to his hiring and firing decisions, and this year's draft class (last year's was good because of Becton, but not great). I loved the first 4 picks this year. I think the last few rounds were dart throws at athleticism, which I can understand. Getting E. Moore and Carter in 2nd and 4th was awesome. Moore will be an NFL star in my opinion. I had him as the 2nd best WR next to Chase. Smith and Waddle are really good too, but I think Moore is more versatile. Jets fans have tons of resources. I'm amazed at all the podcasts. I've been listening non stop. For a fan base that has dealt with absolute crap for so long (yeah I know about the two AFC championship appearances with Sanchez), there is massive love for the team and organization. I have huge respect for that and it's made it easy to convert to Jetsism. Jets have lots of unknowns with the coaching staff this year, but the O Line should be quite a bit improved. The offense should be conducive to allowing a rookie QB to get comfortable since it relies heavily on the run game (Shanahan). The Jets will finally have a jet sweep weapon in Moore to really get the Shanahan offense moving. WR core is much better. RBs are meh, but Shanahan system doesn't need great RBs. Defensive backfield has lots of options after this draft to find better players. And the Lawson signing was HUGE. ON ZACH WILSON: National pundits have been really negative about Wilson, yet I haven't heard a single Jets analyst/journalist say anything negative. Sure, some preferred Fields but overall Jets fans seem pretty excited about Zach The Kid Wilson. So many pundits talking non stop about his competition, despite the next pick Trey Lance playing 12 total games in the last 4 years and against total garbage competition. BYU's competition was a product of Covid this year. Wilson beat some decent teams in Boise State (murdered them), USC, Tennessee on the road, San Diego State, UCF, Navy, etc. Trey Lance beat Nichols and Sam Houston. I've seen every Wilson game for 3 years and every BYU game since they won a national championship the day I turned 7 years old. Our fans are everywhere around the country and our QB's face enormous pressure from our fan base. People don't realize this outside of Utah. Expectations are sky high for guys like Wilson, and the criticism is crippling for some (Zach and Taysom had to deal with major pressure from the fan base). We've had 65k at every football since Jim McMahon's junior season in 1980 when our stadium opened. We often show up to road games with more fans than the home teams. We have massive pride in our program so it pisses the hell out of us when idiots like Mel Kiper talk trash about BYU. We love QB's and we know when we have a good one. During my lifetime we've had drafted: Gifford Nielsen, Marc Wilson, Jim McMahon, Steve Young, Robbie Bosco, Ty Detmer, John Walsh, Steve Sarkisian, Brandon Doman, John Beck, Max Hall (UDFA who started for the Cardinals), Taysom Hill, and Zach Wilson. Zach still looks 16 to me. It bugged me when he was a freshman and it still bugs me because its hard to imagine him leading huge linemen with that baby face, but they apparently don't mind so why should I? Zach is a better runner than you think. You know he's mobile, but he's more mobile than you currently think he is. For some reason people keep saying his athleticism is nothing like Fields'. Uh, what? I'd say he is very similar athletically to Fields. They haven't watched anything beyond Zach's highlights of his throws. Zach has one of the sweetest throwing motions and spirals you'll ever see. Like Aaron Rodger, you know you're watching a special passer when you watch him. His highlight footage just don't do him justice. The live game footage is much better for appreciating his passing. He throws a football like its a baseball, and he's insanely accurate. Zach has a lot of mojo and you could see it in his first start as a true freshman. His sophomore year sucked because of his shoulder injury. I thought he was ruined and kinda hoped our back-up would replace him as the starter. I am stupid. He was so good this year that it is hard to understand unless you watched every game. I thought every single throw was going to be a completion. Don't remember ever watching a QB that felt that way since Ty Heisman Detmer. 32 1 1 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bungaman Posted May 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2021 We are Jet fans, and quite often, we hate this team, too. There's not that much difference between the haters and the lovers around here. I am surprised that anyone who was not infected/indoctrinated at an early age would choose, under any circumstances, to jump on the rusted, flat tired, burned out bandwagon.

jetophile Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Ohhhhhh, boy. What, it's a harmless comment. I always find the college football alumni love thing really weird. As in really, really weird. The whole Joe Pa thing, c'mon, who cares if he was old. It never excused him from being criminally, morally, and ethically negligent, but some of those weirdos defended him even after he died. I didn't go to a football school (lol) so I think there's a lot that I'm missing . . . ? Or probably not. The closest thing I got to sports in college is where the Knicks practiced.

"The Jets have had crappy ownership with the Johnson family for a long time." I agree. It is a far cry from Leon Hess. Patton's oil man with the 3d army. Kept us supplied with an unheard of use of hoses. He parlayed that knowledge to purchase WW II military surplus equipment to build his gasoline empire. The current boys inherited the platinum spoon. Sigh. On being a Jet fan. When an old friend learned I had turned my nephew into a Jet fan, he remarked "you're going to hell. You realize this."

Expectations are sky high for guys like Wilson, and the criticism is crippling for some (Zach and Taysom had to deal with major pressure from the fan base). All you can really do is pray that the GM & coaching staff have a successful plan laid out to support Wilson and that he isn’t a deuche whom his teammates hate! (See R. Wilson) If he has the locker room and can be humble, authentic and approachable with the players from every walk of life he’s 30% home. If he has the skill set and brains, he’s 60% of the way to success. If JD/Saleh/Lefleur can get the team playing as one and stocking the cubbards with talent..... 90% The last 10% is random luck, Divine intervention and a assortment of good bounces & calls. PS..... see if you can strike up a friendship with Zack and get us some locker room tidbits! At least make yourself useful! You used up a lot of air so far!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
