Nothing flashy but looked comfortable, came close to a couple of splash plays. Nothing to write home about, but every time I've focused on him extensively in the past, he looks completely lost or overmatched. Snails pace, but moving in the right direction. @GREENBEAN 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Copernicus Posted December 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2021 This is good news. Way too much criticism immediately with our rookies. Development of players takes time. I can understand why fans are impatient but its just not realistic to think that most/all draft picks are going to be successful immediately. 10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WowOhWow Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 We've sucked for 11+ years now. It's completely acceptable to be impatient in every regard when it comes to this team. That said, I'm excited with our rookies this year...and still holding out hope for Bechton, Mims from last year. Hall has been very good. If this team wasn't so inconsistent week to week it would also be a bit easier to watch and enjoy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Development of players takes time. I can understand why fans are impatient but its just not realistic to think that most/all draft picks are going to be successful immediately. I think rookies can be successful. Look at Mac Jones. BUT, to be successful, rookie or veteran, you need an established program to plug your talent into. Take, for example Cee Dee Lamb. He's got great talent. And he is thriving in Dallas. I have no confidence that he would be thriving at the same rate with other teams that don't have the complete offense--OL, RB, other WRs, QB--that Dallas has. And it is this lack of continuity that is what makes building a team from scratch, like the Jets are, with mostly young players all learning how to play together. And that is why I give Zack Wilson and the entire team all the benefit of the doubt. It's not easy building from scratch. And they are showing some signs. At least becoming watchable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because we've sucked for so long doesn't mean young players don't take time to develop. Impatience is misplaced on these young guys. It's not their fault the other guys didn't develop. It's more about the fan than the player in this case. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Unathletic, slow Lorenzo Mauldin had 6.5 sacks in his two years for the jets. Zuniga has 1, he is a pass rusher. You have to show something really good early in your career in some position groups. As a pass rusher you have to show something zunbia hasn't. He got passed by huff and will be passed by other layers next year. Gonzo alonzo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have almost zero concern that he will develop into a nice player. Maybe not a premier PR but I think he will be a solid rotational piece with upside to do more if he can shake the injury thing.
