Popular Post Bowles Movement Posted June 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2021 There was a bit of hand wringing and despair when the Jets won two games and ended up with the second pick in the Trevor Lawrence sweepstakes, and left us with Zack Wilson. Many wanted Fields or another QB or to trade down and keep Sam. We have now heard and seen some tid bits from Wilsons play these last few weeks, so I thought it would be a good time to take the pulse of this forum and see just how many predict stardom and how many still predict he busts. Lets get everybody on record on Zack and we can "circle back" at the end of the season and see who right and who was wrong. Ill start by saying he will have a good rookie season with 3800 yds passing, completion percentage of 64 percent and 26 TDs and 10 INTs and show promise of being a top QB by years end. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremy2020 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 It took exactly 1 post for a prediction that he has one of the top ten rookie QB performances of all time. I'll say 3200 yards, 59% completion, 20TDs, 12 Ints Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, nah, that isn’t happening; not with this roster. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Drums Posted June 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2021 I thought it was fair to assume Darnold would throw for 4,000 yards last year so I’m going to shut up and take the wait and see approach. 2 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icer Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I took the win against the Rams hard like everyone else, but I've been on board with Zack for awhile. Honestly not having the Gase/Darnold combo is going to make this a much more interesting season than the last two 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patriot Killa Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 3,250 yards 23 TD’s/11 INT’s 63% I predict he’ll have a solid year. Nothing much to say until he’s in pads though. These are probably the same numbers I would of given him last month before OTA’s. He’s looked good but nothing in June makes me change my mind for the better or worse. Barring some incredible burst on to the scene, I expect his numbers to be slightly above average & much better than Sam Darnold’s first year where we still couldn’t tell if he caught on well enough thru his numbers.

It will be tough to have a solid year and only throw 3200 yards given how bad our defense will be. If we had an elite defense than maybe, but we will be behind plenty and if he is only getting up 3200 yards than he is likely not playing at a level we would expect from the #2 overall pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really didn’t think 3,200 yards was too shabby. I guess I could of went a tad bit higher. Was trying to play it safe and balanced numbers wise though.

Joe W. Namath Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 In order for Zach to break Herberts records he would need average: - 256 passing yards a game - 1.83 passing tds a game In this offense, thats no problem. Zach will do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was trying to play it safe and balanced numbers wise though. For QBs like Fields/Lance, 3200 passing yards would likely be a great year because they also run for a good amount and have better defenses. For Wilson and Lawrence, I would expect to see numbers approaching 3500-3800 yards. That would still put them in the 15-18 range in total passing which isn't too high given Fields/Lance, Lamar mostly running and a few other QBs having bad years/getting hurt. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntoTheGreen Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I was not completely sold headed into the draft and had watched a lot of film on all the qbs. I must say with all I've seen in camp so far (which isn't a lot public), he has looked way smoother and competent than expected. 3,350 24 Tds and 8 INT. All gas, no breaks!

HawkeyeJet Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I stated way back in November I had serious concerns Wilson would translate well into the NFL. Think I even went as far as saying I didn't want anything to do with him. I wanted Fields. I will say the early signs are encouraging, but they are just early signs. Now that Wilson is a Jet that doesn't change what I said in November. What will change though is that I will give him every benefit of the doubt moving forward, because that's how I'm wired. How's that for on the record? If he does awesome and I'm gushing about him, I won't ever pretend I doubted him. And if he flops, I won't ever come back here and tell anyone I told you so because that's dumb. I am right sometimes and wrong sometimes when evaluating players, coaches, teams, etc. I just don't care all that much if I'm right or wrong. I just try to go through the process of evaluating things patiently and as objectively as I can, but that doesn't mean I know anything! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hystorm Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Here's my simple take on his first game: He will throw a bomb deep to whomever and score a TD on the first play of his NFL career. He did it about 4-5 times at BYU for the first play of the game! That is of course if the coach allows that for the first play... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRL Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Good "OTA start" to Wilson's career but there's a long way to go. His success and his stats are going to be solely based on our ability to run the ball. The "Shanahan offense" is a system which gets chunk plays off of play action. If we are averaging 4+ yards a carry and 120+ yards a game we'll finally have a "two handed" offense and Wilson will thrive (65% / 3500+ yds / 25 TD / 8 INT). If not he'll look like Darnold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Fran's offense is run heavy. I agree with all your numbers except TD's. I say 3000 yards, 24 TD's. 2:1 TD/INT Ratio. BUT... my 4 extra TD's are rushing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
