Just to be clear, you think this helps your case? If the rule of small sample sizes applies to Zach Wilson (and it does), why doesn't it apply to Mike White? That 3.8% is effectively 100% due to the Buffalo game, the best Defense in the NFL. Zach, vs. Buffalo simply didn't even try to produce via the pass, it was one of the most restrained, tbqh fearful performances I've ever watched. That is why he didn't throw a similar # of INT's to White that day, not because he was so much better that day. Again, I don't want to see White as anything but a backup #2. Over Flacco, who I will remind folks is 2-11 the last three years, a complete loser past any semblance of ability to win a game. At some point people really should get past Zach vs. White, when in reality it's Zach + White. If/when Zach gets hurts again (and that's a real possibility with a smaller-sized QB like Zach) we want someone who can come in and win, not just an old man cashing a check labeled "mentor, lol". And if that backup isn't Mike White, then I expect our brilliant GM to see that, dump White, and get us a younger, motivated, effective backup to be that guy. I refuse to accept the "if Zach goes down, the season is over" bullsh*t. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to roll with Wilson and White as QBs 1 and 2 this year. The main difference I see between Mike White and Zach Wilson is that this is Wilson’s 1st NFL offseason but Mike White’s fourth. IMO, Wilson has a better chance of taking a big jump next year than White does, who I would guess basically is what he is by now.

To be fair the last Buffalo game Zach was playing behind a o line that was missing 60% of its starters and throwing to receivers which really shouldn’t be on a NFL team (with the exception of Berrios) As for Flacco waaay over the hill (still has a real good arm actually kinda reminds me of Testaverde when he was playing in Dallas) just think he’s better than Mike White. Not to say White can’t win a game or two in the event of injury just think he’s a below average QB. Would love to see him become a modern day version of Pat Ryan but just not seeing it Would actually like to see the both backup QB position upgraded 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He only had to wait until week 2 of his 2nd season to get on the field, which is very quick for a 6th round pick.

Never? Injuries are part of the game and backups see the field quite a bit in the NFL. Brady was in year 2 of his career. He was going to get a shot at some point. The only way he would have missed out for sure is if he never rose to the level of a QB2 in the first place. If he hadn’t don’t that then perhaps John Freisz or Michael Bishop would have been the first one in after Bledsoe’s injury instead. It wasn’t a “quibble”. What you said was false. Brady certainly didn’t “languish”. He was picked in the 6th round, yes. But he was on an upward trajectory in the organization from the jump based on his performance in practice and was the QB2 by the end of his rookie year. No one would ever argue a QB that accomplished that “languished”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Mike White isn’t a great quarterback. He’s slow, has limited arm strength, will throw bad INTs. That said, Zach Wilson fans hate Mike White solely because the Jets team clearly and unequivocally liked playing with Mike White and they clearly dreaded playing with Zach Wilson. Mike White spread the ball around, showed confidence and grit, and the team treated him like a rock start because of it. Those pictures of White being mobbed by teammates after the Bengals game, and the adulation he was receiving in the national press, was a stark contrast to the funereal mood put forth after every Zach start. It’s exactly why Saleh—in his typically ham-fisted, dimwit way—benched White against the Dolphins, because the Jets couldn’t risk having White play well against the 25th ranked defense against the pass, which would have made it impossible to put Zach back in the following week. The Mike White situation was our version of Linsanity, and it ended the same way—with the team burying the inspirational overachiever to protect the feelings of the alleged superstar that nobody on the team wanted to play with.

Mike White played like a lesser-Chad Pennington. Clearly and unquestionably physically limited, but generally making good, smart, fast decisions, till he hit a Defense (Buffalo) that was so overpoweringly good he couldn't think his way past their superior talent and our lack thereof. Zach Wilson played like alot of obviously unready rookie QB's do as rookies. Full of mistakes, bad throws, bad decisions, and overall bad play (lowest rated starting QB in the NFL), with some infrequent flashes of top-tier talents and even one or two pretty decent games, and an upward swing as the season wore on. Like those rookies that came before him, he'll have to make a massive step in year 2 to justify his draft spot and validate ongoing investment in him. Mike White is alot like a slightly worse Taylor Heineke, clearly unsuited to be a #1 QB due to lack of physical traits, but able at times to produce decently. Zach is like every other horrible-as-a-rookie top-drafted QB. He could rise spectacularly, like a Manning, or fall, like a Tim Couch or a hundred others. No way to know till we see it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I (manually) checked Chad's game logs and he never threw for 400 yards in a single game in his entire career. Mike White does play a style similar to Chad (a lot of underneath stuff where he hits guys in stride) but he has a stronger arm. Though he didn't seem very accurate on his longer passes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's time like to start calling other parts of the team by more official-sounding names? Robert Saleh: "Supreme Commander" (that title would work well in Washington). Or maybe "HC of the NYJ-In-Chief"? Mike LaFleur: "Secretary of Offense" Jeff Ulbrich: "Minister of Defense" Brant Boyer: "The Head of Special Teams Operations".
