Zach Wilson’s short passes rating (Weeks 15-18)

[Bronx]

 

[slimjasi]

First impressions are everything for a lot of people, but yes, a number of us have pointed out that his short passing was appreciably better as the season progressed. 

[Copernicus]

Zach Wilson came back from injury and continued to build on areas of success and made strides to overcome areas of weakness. His off season (like many QBs) had him going from state to state to work on his craft with his Wrs. Cant ask for much more.

[Stark]

Yes the last 4 weeks it appeared Zach fixed his major problem of whiffing and dirting the wide open easy throws.

 

let’s hope he steadily improves this off-season and has a very good year this year. 
 

im hopeful but it’s gotta be automatic this year 

[nj meadowlands]

I don't actually care about this other than it shows that his early season yips were perhaps a mirage.

[TuscanyTile2]

He's a pro QB who was drafted #2 overall so it's a bit embarrassing that it was ever an issue in the first place.  But I agree that he played better at the end of last year.

[PS17]

If Zach can marry his playground home run balls with the on-time short passes, he will be a good quarterback. He also has to learn to stay in the pocket and not run 10 yards backward. 

[Beerfish]

By far the most impressive improvement 2nd half of last year was not turning the ball over.  Nothing deep sixes a prospect QB more than chronic turnovers.  Limit the turnovers then build from there.

[Spoot-Face]

Zach never had a problem with pure accuracy for anyone who was paying attention. We saw that in preseason when the dude was on point.

Zach had a problem with dealing with pressure/reading defences that forced him to rush his throws, which resulted in the sh*t we saw when defences turned on in the regular season. He seemed to settle in and the game slowed down for him by the end of the season which is positive. Hope that's the start of the trend for him.

Hoping the 2 new TEs are a major boost. Just saw that TE Conklin was 4th in the league in 3rd down catches(22) without a drop, so that is what we need from those catching balls in this O.

Not a lot of rookies on that list.  And, a few good quarterbacks.

Amazing how comfortable ZW looked in that video too.  Just a huge difference from September/October.

Moving to the Luke Falk playbook that Gase left behind really paid off

Brett Ratliff never had a problem with accuracy in preseason either.

Okay.

I never watched him play.

It means coaching High School football was actually Adam Gase's dream job all along.

[nycdan]

Who's that Berrios guy who keeps catching those passes?...

[BigRy56]

Zach is on the right path. If he continues trending up throughout next year, the Jets are in good shape

Some guy who will hopefully never be on this team

[Gastineau Lives]

Let's face it fellas, we got ourselves a stud on our hands. He's going to make a leap next year that will blow your dicks off. Book it.

And it will probably get a lot better with the two new TE's and that should also help bring in the DB's shallow and improve the long passing game as well.

Hoping it’s not a repeat of Sam Darnold looking good towards the end of his rookie season and then busting.

I really want Zach to light it up this year.

This thread with Fidelio only repping people just seems unfair

This thread with Fidelio only repping people just seems unfair

I’ll tell you why.
While this is nice to see - loved seeing him continue to progress to a point where he was top five over the last quarter of season at the thing he struggled with most early. but Zach still has a long way to go.

His talent is there, but things like this tend to over hype expectations. He will absolutely be better this year -it will be clear and obvious progress, but if people start expecting top 10 or as this shows top 5 play there’s going to be a lot of disappointment.

Zach’s still going to be a work on progress. By the end of next year I believe we will know we have our long awaited FQB, but there’s still going to be plenty of bumps in the road.

When will it be acceptable to expect him to play like the #2 overall pick? 

[rangerous]

it also shows how games are won.  we don't see the mad bombers of the past.  the nfl has become a league where short passes followed by yac is what is needed to win.  an 8 yard pass completion with a 75% pass rate is the same as a 6 yard run gain.  hard to ignore this kind of production.

Kind of a mixed bag, but certainly these guys are a nice target for him. 
 

-Archie Manning

-Bert Jones 

-Donovan McNab

 

Meh, but ok, maybe. 
 

- RG III (could stay healthy)

-Mariota

-Webtz

-Trubinsky 

* fact is Zach hasn’t played as well as anyone in the above list. Still time though. 
 

Oh Gawd Help us
