Per ESPN QBR Zach Wilson did not have the worst game in Jets history

[KO91]

Worst games per ESPN:

1) Sam Darnold ghost game 

2) Matt Simms/Geno Smith combined vs Dolphins in December, 2013 

3) Luke Falk @ Eagles 

4) Mark Sanchez @ NE 2009 

Peyton Mannings 2015 game @ KC is their worst of all time. He was 5/20 with 4 picks. 

[Irish Jet]

The garbage time padding helped him out. When it mattered it was the worst. 

[playtowinthegame]

When I was watching the Jets/Pats game this past weekend I kept flashing back to Geno Smith in that game coming off John Idzik's desperation trade with the Seahawks for Percy Harvin.

Fitzpatricks 6 picks against KC not mentioned ????

Pretty sure QBR considers that.

The Sanchez Buffalo game in 2009 wasn't worse?  I find that hard to believe..

Geno had a number of games that were worse, but I'm not sure he finished any.  His game against Buffalo in 2014 was certainly worse, but they had to pull him since every other pass was an INT

We as a fan base really need to adjust our priorities.

Geno Smith's 2-8 3 picks against Buffalo and then getting pulled for Vick didn't even make the list?  I am not sure if that says more about Geno, or the state of Jet QBing over teh past 50 years.

[slimjasi]

How about the fact that all of these games are in the last decade and a half? 

I feel like we deserve a break

[Ghost420]

2 of the picks were absolutely horrible. Like some of the worst throws I ever seen.

By standard QB rating that game was a zero.  He had no grade point average.

Brooks Bollinger has to be in there somewhere.

 

I DEMAND A RECOUNT!!!!

Richard Todd's 5 picks with a pick 6 in the AFC Championship game?

Joe Namath had a 5 pick 3 pick 6 game.   How is that not the worst?   Three pick 6s.

Guys…I’m positive things are going to turn out differently this time!

[ScarletKnight89]

I didn't watch that game and come away with the idea that it was the worst game I ever saw a Jets QB play. So this makes sense. 

[Fantasy Island]

Sanchez at Titans 4Ints and a fumble.  I was there, I was giving Rex he!!.

Yep - because what BB is best know for is taking his foot off of the brake (or neck) when he gets a lead in attempt to not embarrass a team; Sportsmanship is his way /sarcasm

 

And of course, there was no garbage time padding in any of those other outings.

[munchmemory]

Matt Simms, Geno & Luke Falk?

[Origen]

Watching Vinny crumple into a heap and then watching Jay Fiedler crumple into a heap shortly after and having to watch Tom Tupa try to play QB after 10 years of just punting was the worst QB'ing ever. 

[Sonny Werblin]

Screw the stats. The kid's got game. He needs to make the boring plays and let the D keep the game close. Than he can play hero ball if the Jets need a 4th quarter comeback. It's all about maturity. Slow and steady for 3.5 quarters is what he needs to do. Big upset coming up this week in Denver as the kid learns to take what the D gives him and doesn't force the action until late in the game.

[Warfish]

Always good to have historical context, I suppose.

Not sure we can infer much from this thread tho, honestly.

Jay Fiedler? 

I think you are mixing up 1999 and 2005.

If he's the QB we think he is, he watches the film learns from it and improves. Rookies have to take their lumps. Welcome to the NFL kid.

They all blew up their shoulders and came from the dolphins, didn't they?  Who was it?  I totally blanked...

OR was it just that sad?  Oh man... I got the Pennington Fiedler Darnold Siemien effed up names shoulder injuries backup QB blues...

Joe wasn't running the "Shanahan" system.  He was running the "Johny Walker" system.

You almost have to start to wonder, do the names even matter at this point?

It's ok.
