If White is just ok and puts up 280 yards, two TDS, and keeps the team in the game late against the Bills, what do you do? Easy you keep him until he stinks then let zach back 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Ghost Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 This is going to be a long post, so bear with me. It will be the last one I make on the subject until we play our most intriguing game in years…. I’ve been watching this team over 50 years, so you know I’ve seen some crazy s**t, but this has to be one of the least expected, and most crazy. Im sitting here posting and reading on a Jets message board with a bunch of diehard fans, and we’re talking about our team taking the reins from our prized #2 pick in the draft rookie QB halfway into the season. Incredibly, a lot of us are fine with it, in fact we think it’s the smart move. The Darnold years changed this board. A lot of people who were his biggest fans have become jaded. Sure there are some “you’ve got to give him 3 years” posts, but I don’t think any of those guys truly believe we’ll give Wilson that much rope. If White somehow finishes the season as the starter, I don’t see Wilson ever getting the job back. It would mean White had shown to be a viable starter, and the Jets would then have to try to sign him to a new deal rather than risk losing him and go back to square one with Zach. Buckle up, boys. Sunday is going to be fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Until White shows he can run a complete offense I am not going to go overboard. If he can hit a few deeper shots that will change things but teams are going to be poaching everything short until he can get them to respect some down filed throws. This will be an issue with Mac Jones as well, he is doing well now but when you get into playoff ball you need to be more than a check down charlie. I am very pleased that our offense looks revitalized the last few weeks. Our defense is giving me migraines though. I cannot see the jets holding the bills down after they were embarrassed last week. I see another 40 spot coming up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Willie White Shoes Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 5 hours ago, Green Ghost said: I don’t know about that. Im not saying White can or will do it, but if a guy like him were to string 8 or 9 solid performances together, I’d think any smart organization is going to look at that player VERY differently than as a long term backup. That’s how you got a Brady and a Warner. Guys come in, open eyes, and change narratives. There would come a point where the roles reversed, and that’s when you would look at the high draft pick as an asset you could use in a trade. At this point I think the Jets main concern is to find a viable starter, not to assuage Wilson’s feelings. It doesn’t matter if it turns out to be the 25 or the 21 year old. Brady and Warner won Super Bowls in those seasons when they took over the starting job. The Jets are likely winning 5-6 games. Apples and bananas. If White has a rough game or loses 2-3 in a row, where he doesn't play great, Wilson will get another shot this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand your point, but White has played 1 full game. I am going to have to see more from White than 1 game and 2 for 6 in tight throws. 3 hours ago, doitny said: true, but the odds are not in our favor. the most likely thing is White is ok to avg and Zach gets his job back in a week or 2. All I’m saying is it’s equally premature to rule out White as a franchise QB. It’s improbable but certainly possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That really begs the question, which would be the funnier potential outcome on Sunday. If White gets hurt again, does Flacco come in and (1) continue the trend of career-best performances, or (2) have a laughably horrific showing? Anything in between would be just far too boring for this current Jets story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jetstream23 Posted November 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 11, 2021 13 hours ago, Green Ghost said: I understand what you’re trying to say here, but I’m not sure I agree. if we were talking about someone like Andy Dalton or Nick Foles, yeah, I’m with you 100%, but we’re talking about Mike White. To me, it’s pretty damning that the #2 pick in the draft (rookie or not) hasn’t looked head and shoulders better than a PS guy we cut 4x last year and Josh Johnson. Then I’m seeing some of Saleh’s quotes in here. It doesn’t sound like he’s saying Zach isn’t healthy yet,and that’s why he isn’t playing. He seems to be saying White is the better QB, the team wants him to start, and he agrees. I think Saleh is saying that he wants a guy who plays how he's coached. White is clearly doing that, taking what the defense gives him, not ignoring open guys 5 yards away to try to make a "hero throw" 40 yards down the field. There is absolutely nothing that infuriates a coach more than looking at film and seeing that a play was designed properly, called at the right time, blocked well by the OLine and a WR beat the defender.... only to have the QB throw all that away in order to gamble for something bigger. That's the sense I get from Saleh. And, not surprisingly, it's the way the Pats have gone about developing Mac Jones so far. We joke that he's been "check down charlie" and completing a ton of passes but only 5 yards down the field. However, that's working for the Pats in that it's winning some games and it's getting Mac some early success before trying to open up things down the field. Wilson seemed to think he was Brett Favre and just wanted to sling it everywhere. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LockeJET Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 I see nothing wrong with keeping Zack Wilson on the bench. after all he wasn’t ready in the first place and that’s clear by how Mike White and even Josh Johnson have performed. I keep showcasing Mike White for a potential tag and trade after this season. And If White does perform at a crazy high level then we have an interesting situation on our hands going forward. And I think that’s a really good situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best one is where they quote stats from a qb that has played the number 2, 5 and 11 pass defenses in football in his first five games as a professional player and write him off, using those stats to hammer their idiotic point home.

Exactly - Mike White continuing to play well even if that lasts thru the remainder of the season is a plus for this team. If you take personal emotions out of it - you would have two qb's who would have significant interest across the league in the offseason. That is a great position for this team to be in. Who they keep/trade is up to the braintrust. For me and I would think most fans, I could care less the name, draft position etc of the QB. Just give me the guy who gives us the best chance to win for the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
