He was very good last week, but there are people so engrained in their pre-draft dislike for him, they can't see it even when he plays well. And they are so vocal about and really convinced of it - it's hard to see through. He played very well Sunday (not perfect) and is showing massive improvement from his earlier games. 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reality is that most rookie QBs struggle to varying degrees, regardless of career outcomes. Guys like Justin Herbert, Kyler Murray, Andrew Luck, Baker Mayfield, RG III, Russell Wilson, and Dan Marino are the exception, not the rule. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never once said he deserved any award, that he played lights out, that he was fantastic. None of that. All I said was if SOMEONE is going to win the award, I'd prefer it be a Jet, specifically Zach, rather than him not win the award. And it he strings together a few more, that wouldn't suck either.

I'm not sure it's a terribly bad thing either, but I return to sentence 1: I would like him to play well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luck threw 18int's his rookie year with a 54% completion % RGIII basically ran his rookie year Russell Wilson averaged less than 200 yards per game. Every situation is different - as you stated, successful rookie years is by far the exception to the norm and even when you look at them - they're often not exactly as good as advertised. No one's saying Zach has been good this year - but he's shown what he's capable of and has continued to get better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets723 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 I’ve never been big on weekly or Evelyn monthly awards BUT I was pretty happy from what I saw from Wilson. Besides the one bad pick I thought he showed good progress. Look I get it there are a group out there that want him to be a franchise QB right away but realistically it’s going to take some time. Elijah Moore got off to a slow start but now he looks as good as advertised probably better. I have hope the same thing will be true for Wilson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangers9 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 I didn't think he was the best rookie on the field last week in the NFL. The Jets offense didn't do enough to stay with Philly last Sunday as a matter of fact they were shut out in the 2nd half. But if he can start taking what a defense gives him and plays the short game better and there are indications of it with his arm the Jets could set up big plays he can complete those kinds of passes.

Rangers9 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Basically Zach has the talent to become what Jets fans have been yearning for years from their starting Qb. A smart Qb who can take what a defense gives him but make big plays including long passing plays. It doesn't mean he's going to be that kind of a player, a true franchise Qb not just an OK starter or game manager. There aren't too many of them. But he shows that kind of ability. Not sure if the other Qbs in his class have this kind of a ceiling. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson played spectacularly last week. Yes he had a pick, Brady throws one of those every other week. Producing 18 points of offense (21 with a competent kicker) counts for "spectacular" now. Ah, Nico. This post didn't age well today. Good night, sweet prince. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
