Lith Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 2 minutes ago, munchmemory said: You see Saleh lose it with anger on the field today? I hope he expresses at least the same amount against himself, his DC and players for getting torched every game. The Eagles had no issue running right up the gut for most of the day. That was not what we expected after Saleh was hired. Where the F*ck is Saleh's vaunted D? First time he really looked frustrated on the sidlines. I was happy to see it. He should be pissed the way his defense played. Concerning that Wilson continues to miss 3 or 4 lay ups a game, but what a bout a defense that can't make a stop on 3rd and 18. Or Eagles catching the ball, slipping down, getting up and still having no defender within 10 yards of them. Wilson has not been good, but he got off to a great start today. And still found himself trailing due to an inept defense and incompetent kicker. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of White’s 45 attempts traveled more than 15 air yards and he finished with the second-most yards on short passing attempts (throws fewer than nine air yards) in a game since 2016 with 263 yards, according to NextGen Stats. His 3.733 air yards per attempt was the second-fewest in a 400-yard performance since Philip Rivers’ 3.732 in 2015, per The AP’s Josh Dubow. Zach spent much of today dinking and dunking and he still barely cleared 200 yards and 6.0 YPA. Theres something to be said about ball placement on short throws. White put the ball where it needed to be to maximize YAC, at least on that day. Wilson looks like a 5th round project QB when it comes to that skill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunnie Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 He was the # 2 overall pick. Eventually, he has to be one of the top 5 or so players on the field in a given week. Otherwise soon you’ll find yourself saying “It was just his 22nd start! Leave him be!”Agreed if after jis 22nd start he isnt a diff maker hes got to go.Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was 3 yards shy of 300 yards, threw for almost 62% at 8.7 YPA with two TDs and a pick that should have been a completion to Corey Davis if he doesn’t trip over his own two legs, against what was, at the time a very good team in the NFL in terms of offensive and defensive production. He also made very clutch plays and won the game. It was a very good game. Zach, undoubtedly, needs to clean up his play. I’m not disagreeing. All I’m saying is maybe let the kid develop before looking for the next shiny toy. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mogglez Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 5 minutes ago, Bleedin Green said: When you have to round one player up by a year and a half (considering White hasn't even hit 4 years), and yet the other down to nothing, that kind of suggests there may just be a tad bit of confirmation bias at play here. Mind you, I'm not a particular believer in Mike White, but to this point every argument for Wilson is very much formed around little more than excuses to support an already predetermined conclusion. Those unfortunately haven't held true when similarly applied during the last 5 decades of failures at the position, so while I'll certainly be happy if it finally turns out that way for once, the odds aren't looking good at all. I was going to write 4, but I rounded it up because, barring injury, he’s probably not seeing the field again this year. I said it here when people were losing their minds over him - and I still believe it: I don’t care who ends up being our guy for the foreseeable future. I just want a QB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game was on the mostly on the defense, then kicking game, then offense and Wilson. Eagles possessions were: TD TD TD FG FG FG FG Punt Sometimes it is not the offense's fault that the D is on the field all game. Get a stop on 3rd down and get the ball back to your O. I think we went about 90 minutes in real time where we ran 3 offensive plays. At one point the Eagles were something like 5 of 6 on 3rd down, where average yards to go was 8+. You can't get off the field on 3rd and 8 all day. Against Gardner MInshew. Wilson was not great, but he was better than last week. This was on the defense. I thought it was very weird, and ominous, when the sideline reporter said that CJ Mosley told her they didn’t prepare for Minshew at all during the week? Someone has to get clarification on this, because everyone on the planet knew that it was a 50/50 proposition all week. I’m optimistically presuming that the Jets defensive problems stem from being a bunch of square pegs in round holes playing in a system they’re not suited for, but if it’s beyond that to where they’re simply not being prepared properly? Oof 41 minutes ago, Warfish said: Don't worry, it's likely that in two years from now most of these same folks will be telling anyone who listens how they just KNEW Zach wasn't the guy all along. Just like they did with Darnold. And Geno. And Sanchez. 3 years of hype and "have patience" and negreps for analysis and accusations of being a bad fan and "gfy, he just needs weapons, and time"......and they'll end up telling guys like you and me how THEY knew all along, and why didn't we.... Same as always. While I think it’s always strange to see Jet fans willingly take bullets for their rookie QBs, even after years and years of repeat failures at the position, I find the Zach Wilson Fan Club to be the weirdest. He had, by far, the flimsiest resume, the smallest physique, the most questions about his temperament, and was coming to the worst coaching support staff of any rookie we’ve ever had. Given all that, I feel like he’s actually overachieved. He seems tough, he has arm talent, he seems smart, and his teammates haven’t tried to murder him (that we know of). He, even now, is a promising rookie quarterback. That said, any criticism of him is met with absolute anger and vitriol and I just don’t get it. He’s the future of the franchise, whether we like it or not! We should be anxious about his every throw! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is there's unfortunately little reason to believe anyone currently on this team is that guy, unless you try really hard to convince yourself otherwise. We can certainly hold out hope for Wilson, because what else is there to do right now, but the reality is that the odds of him being the Jets guy are lower today than they were the day he was drafted. The longer this all takes, the less likely it is to ever happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjasi Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 38 minutes ago, Jetsfan80 said: It matters because of results like today. The Lions have actually been playing competitive football for the last 5 weeks now, if you haven’t noticed. The Jets have been trending in the opposite direction. And like I argued all week, beating the Texans in ugly fashion was not something to be proud about because it wasn’t a sustainable way to win. And look what happened this week…another blowout loss to a real team who didn’t even have their starting QB under center. Its us and the Texans in the mix for worst team. The Lions are # 30 and it’s a fairly wide gulf. Disagree - I Would take the two extra wins over the difference in point differential between the two teams i also wouldn’t really characterize today as a “blowout loss” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially the way he finished his 2018 and 2019 seasons, so trust me, I’m wary. Idk, I don’t expect most to agree with me, but I just have a gut thing with Zach. That said, im not blind. I know what my eyes tell me he needs to clean up on Sundays. That said, I was always of the belief that he was far more raw than most here thought he was. I would have preferred a guy like Flacco or Minshew be brought in to let him sit at the start the season, but I don’t have that power, lol. Furthermore, at the end of the day, most of these guys don’t work out, so I do understand pessimistic beliefs when it comes to these kids, especially when it comes to this friggin’ franchise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
