Lets be honest. Normal people aren’t Jets fans. If you are of average IQ or better—and have no significant personality defects, then you gave up on the Jets years ago. The only ones left are whackos and masochists. 
 

Given that, the number of trolls is actually a little low.

Flacco’s a solid giant. 
 

Zach is frail but similar body type to Aaron Rodgers so that gives me some hope because yeah he looks bird boned.  He’s also just 22 so he’ll fill out. Like the rest of us.

Yeah because he has been doing that job for 14 years or so and is a super bowl MVP... I would ******* hope that he looks more like an NFL QB then a rookie... 

[sciond]

You know it's bad when we spend our time debating stuff like this.

Saleh is not a QB whisperer he had one who sadly passed.

He saw a need.

I am going back to my coffee now

The Jets beat has yet again done the fans a disservice by not investigating this story further. I for one find it incredibly odd that the organization hired Wilson’s personal QB as a full time member of the coaching staff. What is Beck’s role here? How did this materialize? Did Wilson initiate this or did the Jets?

The optics of this could be really bad for Saleh if the cameras constantly see Beck as the person in the ear of Zach on the sideline. 

How about giving the team a break here?  After all, Greg Knapp was supposed to be *that* guy, but he got killed in an accident.  Plus it was all too obvious that LaFleur was doing nothing (as in zero) to help Zach along.  Beck is here because LaFleur can't do what Knapp was supposed to be doing for this QB.

Or it could have went like this 

Saleh: Hey John, Rob Saleh here from the Jets. We drafted one of your QBs

Beck: Zach Wilson?

Saleh: Yea Zach. Well he’s sputtering right now. We would like you to come in and take a look at him. 
 

Beck: Um sure, but will you pay me for my time?

Saleh: It’s only been five games. Doesn’t Zach come with free first time service? I worked something like that out with the contractors of my new home.

He's also in uniform while Wilson is wearing a hoodie

[rangerous]

isn't john beck the guy that got clocked in the movie rollerball?  all kidding aside, let's see if this guy can sort out wilson and get him to play smarter.  there will be plenty of time for ad libbing plays.

Greg Knapp passed away a month or two before the season started. He was supposed to be the QB coach. With most of the other good candidates already having jobs with other franchises and what not, Rob Calabrese was elevated to QBs Coach. The Greg Knapp passing was not only sad but also put the team in a bind. Bringing in another "QB coach" mid season, to me, doesn't seem all that odd when you consider how we didn't have a hand picked QB coach on the staff at the start of the season.

Remember when Shanahan was Elway's QB whisperer. Whatever works.

David Mills looks so much more like a QB than Wilson.

Imagine if Gase said “I can’t get through to Sam, let’s call Jesse Palmer”. He would be eviscerated. 

maybe Gase should have done that cause Sam did nothing with Gase and Gase is gone.

I think its amazing that we have an owner who gave Beck a blank check to come here. 

But its a moot point as only Jet fans think optics matters.  Douglas and Saleh dont give an eff about optics.  They have given Jet fans the middle finger at every turn.

As much as the Johnsons have me pulling my hair out at times, it's certainly not because they were cheap or wouldn't spend the money.

If anything, I think they have proven they will spend loads of money to be successful, they have just been incompetent with their hiring processes and signings.

This can be a developing story

Beck is putting a lot on the line taking this job for Wilson and if all goes well he can seriously skyrocket his name and brand in certain circles, or he doesn't. It's a high risk move for him as he has a business for all of this, and shows his confidence in Wilson which is telling.

It can very well be his big ticket move. Who knows?

well if that happens the Jets should resign him. dont let him leave. regardless of this year Zack will be here next year and is still going to need a QB coach.

Let me get this straight. Zach has a personal QB coach who has played QB in the NFL and the Jets decided to hire him as a coach so they can share the playbook with him and give him access to the Jets facility to help Zach be a better QB for the Jets? Oh, the travesty!

Tell me about it. I check more IP’s a day than I do menus. That shit ain’t right. 

[varjet]

When Beck arrived and Lafleur moved up to the box, and ZW got injured, the Jets developed an average NFL offense.  That is good. 

Now let’s put Wilson back and see how he does.

Really?  

Here is a hint:  You don't have to read them, don't have to respond to them, and after their first obvious troll post you can put them on ignore and never see them again.
