If you are afraid to let your QB throw.

I'm confused.  Your nickname is Jetsfan80.  So why exactly "can't you wait for Zach to fail"?  Here's an honest question for you:  would you rather Zach and the Jets to fail and finish in the basement, or would you rather Zach be decent and the Jets be competitive this coming season?  


I don’t WANT Zach to fail.  I’m just fairly confident he will.

Fortunately, I do think the other 52 spots on the roster look pretty good, and this team might just be a “good QB away”.

Am I a Jets fan still, or do I fail to meet the standard?

I don't think there's a standard.  Only you know what's truly in your heart.  Not sure how you can be "fairly confident" he will fail after one turbulent season that all rookie QB's go through.  I suppose you also saw something in Josh Allen in his similar first season where you knew he'd be great.  I wish I had your crystal ball, it would surely save me a lot of agony.

Justin Herbert didn't go through much turbulence his rookie year, despite playing behind the # 32-ranked Offensive Line and for a HC that ended up getting fired after that season.  

It'd be nice for this franchise to have a rookie QB who actually shows something his rookie year.

We can volley back and forth all day about rookie QB's first seasons. But I do hear you about wanting rookie QB's to show something here in their first season.  I get it.  Mark Sanchez and Geno Smith - I wanted to stick a fork in my eye.  Darnold, much like Zach,  I held out hope for (after season 1).  Deep down I knew, but I kept the faith.  Except in Zach I believe, it's not just hope.

I'm guessing you think Zach doesn't have the head for the game, because you truly can't question his physical talent.  I can relate to that.  I guess I was just caught off guard by all doom and not a shred of gloom.  I believe he most certainly has a chance to turn himself around.  Personally, I haven't heard the fat lady sing yet.  He just has to be decent in year two.  If that doesn't happen, the curse is real.
