Flacco starting against Ravens; Wilson out until week 4: MERGED

[JoeNamathsFurCoat]

Things are setting up nicely for MFW v the Bengals (Rumble not in the Jungle) part II.

A Flacco 0-2 start is the highest probability outcome.

Well, at least it's not Mono..

Fire Saleh, i am tired of his ra ra bullsh*t. Bechton, now Wilson....guy is just a ******* smile with no substance. How ******* disconnected are you to say he may play this week, and then flip to wait a month. ******* unreal.

This is so stupid. You want to fire him because he gave an inaccurate injury timeline for week 1?

What does this have to do with his ability to lead the Jets to wins on the field? Nothing. 

Also, there's no H in Becton. @32EBoozer

Answer for 1-6: Probably had a setback after the 2nd workout yesterday.

If I was you. I think I woukd stop with the predictions and assessments.  With Zach's  injury you are 0 for 2

I mean to say they have no influence or say is banana land. His family owns one of the biggest sponsors of the franchise.

why JD and Saleh drafted him with this conflict of interest is interesting...you have to wonder if they even had a say. 

[Pac]

We'll be 2-1.

I'm more concerned Zach will f it up tbh.  Sitting 3 games isn't a big deal..  guys used to sit a year or 2.

The only thing that makes sense to me is that he had a set back and re-aggravated his knee during one of his workouts. 
 

typical jets, regardless of what is really going on 

But but...the (liar) head coach just shot that down

He said "no setback" when asked about this an hour ago

If this is true, Saleh is actually more clueless than I thought

Why on Earth would you rush him back to practice before he's ready?  Especially when it's the prospect of getting smacked down by the Ravens?

Now he says they want to "do right by him"

I bet it is an aggravation caused by the workout

They wanted to see how the knee responded.  It's probably inflamed.

Can’t he just activate the extra 60% from Saleh’s tshirts and make himself ready?

He honestly didn't say much, now that im looking back at what he said on WFAN. Media/us fans just run with the two words of "it's possible"...

Robert Saleh said that “it’s possible” Wilson could be starting under center for Sunday’s season opener against the Baltimore Ravens.

“We put Zach through a workout today. [He] looked good, felt good,” Saleh said. “We are going to see how the knee responds today and tomorrow and have an answer for everyone on Wednesday.” “Everyone heals differently,” Saleh said. “We’ll see what happens tomorrow but …everyone responds differently.”

Still too much info though. 

This.

Only a raging moron would take any of that as definite proof that Zach was going to be the starter.

I agree.  Something is fishy here.  Saleh talked alot about Zach "mentally" in the press conference.  I have never heard him question zach mentally.

You have had a rough month and yes I am breaking your onions a bit but it is all in fun.

Please tell me you love the Bills tomorrow night.

Get a grip? Huh? 

In less than 24 hours Saleh went from Zach has been having good workouts and theres a chance he'll play to Zach is out 3, possibly 4 weeks. 

Definitely has egg on his face for clearly overstating how close Zach was. 

Yet you think he was trying to manipulate the Ravens by being coy w/who is starting. He was so good at manipulating the press half of jet nation cannot control their emotions right now.  

Oh noes - egg on the face!

Because the #1 thing a leader needs to be is genuine. Robert Saleh is a two faced political snake. Not a competitor. Not a football man.

as i said, its troubling that there is this much of a disconnect between the facts and what comes out of his mouth. i am going to park the fact that he is a defensive coach who had a bottom 3 defense last year. lets see how he does this year...but he better not get the "Flacco" curve.

[Titan24]

Saleh should not have mentioned the wk 4 return….that was dumb.  
 

Should have been “Flacco starting week 1 we will evaluate moving forward”……..simple

Debbie Harry might be a tougher QB, and she's around 76  these days

I think the vast majority of us figured Flacco would play week 1, but the first three weeks?

wilson has been walking without a limp for over a week and was on the bike at the giants game. Week 4? 
 

i have to think he had a setback

He needs to be genuine with his players which we have no insight into. Every coach in the league is blowing smoke up peoples asses in press conferences. Two faced political snake. lmfao

y'all are really in your feelings today

You don’t go from it’s possible to out indefinitely in 24 hours unless something happened that the team isn’t telling us. Could it be he got hurt again? Saleh said no. Do the Jets think Flacco gives them a better chance to win? Certainly possible. Does Wilson not feel ready to play mentally? Could be. Does he have final say on the matter? I’d say yes. Could his agent be involved? They always are.

Lmfao.

[oatmeal]

Christ get this kid and his Becton knee tf out of here! 
 

2023 QB class ????

[kevinc855]

Not a lot of positive vibes on here!

Get with the program guys

Definitely an interesting wrinkle considering Wilson’s camp got to pick his surgeon based on California. This doesn’t seem to be a Jets medical staff issue.

bottom 3 defense is a legitimate gripe. crying about his starting QB timeline is just ... well, crying.

[EM31]

Or they were lying when they let us think he might be back early and they are lying sill when they talk about week-4.  

 

[shawn306]

The knee if fine. It is going to take him 3 to 4 weeks to mentally prepare to be out there again.

 

Duh

He went from possibly playing to our indefinitely in 24 hours. I don’t think Saleh is that dumb to fire that off. Someone above him made the call that he wouldn’t be playing for a while. Communication is clearly lacking. But this franchise is one of the worst in sports for a reason so…

Don't blame Saleh that you got well over your own skis yesterday.  You and Fidelio and Joe Willy all.

Agreed. I'm not saying I like the move or agree with coach. We'll see how it goes.

[ncjetman]

Saleh is a bad HC. Runs soft camps No adjustments in game. Now he's babeying our starter, solidifying the thought that he's a weak livered little puffball.

you’d have more fun trolling this board if we we’re all morons like you apparently think we are - sorry but better luck next time

Initial prognosis: 2 to 4 weeks

Post-op:  4 to 6 weeks

BS today:  8+ weeks (Pittsburgh game at earliest)

Recognize a pattern here?

If the Becton debacle is any indication, Kapono should be back by week 4 of 2023

Jets must have the worst medical staff and worst coach-medical staff communication in the league

Eh no setback. I think it's just a combo of them being extremely confident in Flacco and overly cautious of rushing him back and potentially losing him for much longer or the rest of the season.

What ever you say about this guy, he showed up every week. 

Wilson put everyone on notice that from now on he cannot be relied on to show up. Time to see what the 3 other guys can do.
