Jets Add John Beck To The Coaching Staff

[SoFlaJets]

Former NFL quarterback John Beck was spotted on the Jets sideline in team garb by people watching Sunday’s Jets 34-31 win over the Bengals and he’s set to be there in the weeks to come as well.

Beck worked with Jets first-round pick Zach Wilsonas a personal quarterback coach for several years and helped prepare him to work with teams ahead of this year’s draft. That makes it obvious why he would be of interest to the Jets and multiple reports say he’ll be working with Wilson and the rest of the team for the rest of the season.

This is Beck’s first time on an NFL staff, but he did play for Washington when Kyle Shanahan was the offensive coordinator in Washington. Jets offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur worked under Shanahan in Atlanta and San Francisco, so there may be some familiarity with the offensive concepts.

Even without any carryover, the move seems clearly designed to make Wilson more comfortable after a rough start to his rookie season. A knee injury means he’ll remain an observer as Mike White tries to followup his outstanding debut performance with another winning outing against the Colts on Thursday night.

Does @Jetsbb get credit for breaking this story?

This looks like it shows that Wilson is still their plan long term, hope that doesn't mean White doesn't get the playing time he deserves

It was another Message board hero who was the one that busted that Pats guy filming the Jets' sideline-remember?

How about when they hired Flavor Flav to be Herman Edwards' clock management guy?

Haha exactly…I’m actually not even against the Beck hire.

The tragedy of Coach Knapp revealed that his role was clearly even more involved than we imagined.

The more help for our QB of the future Mike White, the happier I am.

Mike starts until at least Wilson is back unless he just collapses. If he continues to play well, i am sure he gets to fight to hold onto the job.

Good move

VERY Funny!!!! But watch it!!!

Probably would make Wilson more comfortable with LaFleur in the booth.

The best thing for the Jets and Zach Wilson is for Mike White to be really good and create competition. Zach doesn’t seem like the type of kid who minds competition. It’s not his fault the Jets handed him the job.

Why wouldn't Zach be the long term plan? He is an elite prospect and has not been as bad as people seem to want to say he has. He has not been good certainly but a LOT of that is on LaFleur and his approach which changed dramatically for White.

If White is the next Brady I am completely OK with that but also remember that Geno had one of the best games by a QB ever against Miami, and even Brooks Bollinger had one awesome game.

Let's see how White does Thursday. I am excited to see it. I am still solidly in the Zach will be a FQB camp though. Hiring Beck was a fantastic move. 

[Sonny Werblin]

Maybe Beck was in the works already so LaFleur could move to the booth while Beck handled Zac on the sideline?

[munchmemory]

GM, HC and OC are finally realizing Zack Wilson was never ready to step onto an NFL field.  Hope this new guy helps.  But it's kinda pathetic.

[All Gas, No Gase]

This is a win for the Jets QB room, not just ZW. A lot of QBs like Drew Brees, Zak Prescott, Matt Stafford have gone to John Beck for coaching.

Our current starter, Mike White, and everyone else in the QB room should benefit.

Besides, the real guy's name was Dick Curl. 

Much better punchline.

There was never any indication that the Jets were moving on from the guy they took 2nd overall....only by fans who love to jump to conclusions after one game lol

This is not aimed directly at you. It just frustrates me to hear that a rookie QB needs to have a competition in camp with a veteran, or "earn" the right to play. QBs that are picked Top 5 in the draft have "earned" the right to start by their exceptional performance in college

Whatever. Why do the Zach haters post the exact same crap over and over and over? We get it you and some others hate Zach. You do not need to keep reminding us

I don't hate Zack.  But I can see reality.   My post was not out of left field.  Hiring Beck was the direct result of JD and coaches watching White play on Sunday.  Then realizing that Zack needs a bunch of work and tutoring.

Pure absurdity

Oh, good, Zach will be great now! ....if he can unseat Mike White!

Yeah you would think they were probably discussing it for a couple weeks

I was the first one who suggested this, Slats replied he wouldn't  do it. He may be good

at moderating and all forms of sex but he don't know jack sh!t about being a GM!

Nobody hates Zach. Everyone wanted to see the Zach of the pre season and we still might but up to this point he has not played well and its obvious that this entire team has suffered for it. The kid needs time maybe looking from the perspective of Mike White as the starting QB will help him understand how this offense works. 

Keep in mind this is not a Brett Favre type offense its more along the lines of a Joe Montana /Tom Brady type offense. Play high percentage football get the ball to your play makers quick and let them make plays. This will open things up for the big play as the game goes on. Zach didn't seem to be doing that and it hurt him and he has to learn that's the way this offense is designed and you cant play outside that design

Nice! Good for ZACH. Absolutely a MUST hire.
