He is young, with a good frame. He will put on weight. Sam on the other hand, soft bodied, soft minded... misses games left and right all the time. Plus, Sam isn't good. Zach's an upgrade in all aspects already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowles and Gase were just duds, Saleh has a charisma to him, cant help to be excited for him as a person let alone for the Jets.

Focus on building an offense around a young QB, 2 years in a row drafted offensive players in the 1st and 2nd round, 5 picks altogether. Just totally different then what we've become accustomed to and that alone has me excited about the future because it seems we finally have a proper organizational structure and a GM with a vision that matches our HC's identity. all of this is true but i just can't see it with jif gunior 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long have we been asking for this type of approach? They have a vision and I love the approach and if they felt Wilson was the best fit, I just have to hope they get it right. Put it this way, if they took Zachapono and then took a Mac like approach, I'd probably be furious but I cant help but want to see this play out because while he might not feel right, the approach does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing he did for himself with all the extra picks is make missing on Wilson not as punishing of a blow like say Sam and Sanchez because we didnt give up picks to go get a QB.

Yes to all of this. It was silly, but the back to back years my UNCW Seahawks went to the NCAA Tournament, our slogan was "Run, defend, win". So bad, right? And who cares about UNCW? But it worked here and that's what's relevant. An identity/philosophy/slogan matters. Probably because it reflects something about the people who created that identity. It signifies there was a plan there and they had the smarts to make it happen, even under less than ideal circumstances. The NFL doesn't care about the Jets right now. We're a laughing stock and have been for a decade. But all of a sudden there's a pretty good chance we're going to sneak up on people because of "All Gas, no breaks." Cheesy? Of course it is, as you say. Can it happen? Also yes. There seems to be a plan and an identity coming together and that's a reason to be excited, even when we've all been so wrong and stupid about this bad franchise in the past. And yes, I fully acknowledge this was just me reiterating your point in a different way but I felt like doing it anyways, lol. Hope that's ok. ❤️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our coach and GM are on the same page with a brilliant plan and lots of additional resources. We drafted who we think is going to be our future signal caller for a long time, drafted AVT to hold down the LG position next to Becton, have talented players on both sides of the field, AND have the following draft picks in 2022: • Two 1st round picks, two 2nd round picks, two 3rd round picks. If you do not feel the energy the OP is talking about, then slap yourself. This is looking good. Let bit be bit. I want him wrong and I want him not already on the bandwagon when the team succeeds. Is that petty? Of course. The right approach? IMO, also yes. You either believe or you don't. I believe, despite no rational or logical reason for believing.

addage Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 On 5/9/2021 at 7:28 AM, bitonti said: Ah yes the endless rebuild JD is in year 3 and hasn't done jack squat for the first two years, other than the Becton pick. He just pushed all in on ZW If Wilson washes out they aren't giving jd another big swing Essentially jds entire NFL career depends on Zach wilson You're really just trolling! Worrying about ZW is very legitimate. But predicting failure with no real evidence is the opposite side of the same "homers" card. Just negative instead of positive. As for JD, I agree he has bet big time on ZW. But any GM who picks a QB early is doing the same. The NFL is a zero sum game--if one GM wins, another loses. So the question isn't whether he's made some bad choices--he has. The question is whether he has made more good decisions than bad. So the ZW call is huge but with an unknown outcome. The balance of his other decisions--cap, coaches, draft, udfa's--has been very positive. Especially if you consider the history of the Jets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
