Ppl here are starting in with the Zach excuses before he even takes a snap. If he's any good, he'll play through the OL struggles. What’s the #1 reason people have given for Mahomes losing to TB in the SB? Brady losing to the Giants? It’s not an excuse, QBs struggle more under duress. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 No, they set up Darnold to fail. Zach Wilson has a far better offensive coach and scheme and massively better players. The injuries to the oline are a bad thing but it is not as if Douglas has not tried in that regard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet Brady, the all time GOAT and Mahomes the current GOAT couldn’t prevail. It’s not an excuse, QBs struggle with pressure, it affects their games. Thats a fact. That’s why teams try to get pressure and why it’s not an excuse, it’s something QBs have to deal with. Just if he’s constantly being hit it’s going to affect anyone’s game but it’s part of the game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about a game plan that features the running game, short drops and getting the ball out quickly. Other teams have done it to us. We actually have WRs who can get open and a couple of tightends and RBs who can catch. Feature those guys. Build a game plan to the situation and let Zach try to execute it. No excuses. Great post. Wilson has two backs who can turn a 3 yard out or screen into a big gain. No defense can take away every weapon we have at our disposal. Question. Do we have the QB and play caller who can get it done. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallinPB Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 It will be tough but we aren't the only team who has these problems. I expect Zach to get sacked. I won't be mad at Zach if he gets sacked because of a blown assignment from the LT. However, it's the other plays which will evaluate whether we have a franchise QB or not. Let's see him strive when he does have a clean pocket. When he is under pressure what decisions will he make? Just because the OL has injuries and is bad doesn't mean Zach can't perform up to the standards we expect given the situation. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every good QB in the NFL makes it through OL problems. The excuses here are pathetic. If we didn't draft Hall and Wilson, people here would be starting threads about excusing Zach because he has no 'weaponz' as well, but since the draft, they can't do so... but they'll always have the OL to blame for Zach's crappy play, right? It's this forum's ultimate excuse for our terrible QBs. Good QBs manage to produce even when their OLs have issues. Bad QBs don't. We'll see what Zach is.

It’s likely that Zach may have never have become a Franchise QB no matter where he ended up, coin flip at best. Yet, the day Joe Douglas combined him with Bob Saleh and his painfully inexperienced coaching staff, he and the rest of the roster were doomed to mediocrity at best. These clowns have no idea what to do with the talent on the roster, I’m not saying it’s a lot, but they are not maximizing a single player. Pretty self evident at this point. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker89 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 49 minutes ago, Warfish said: We all are, even those of us pessimistic about him. I don't know him. For me it isn't about like/dislike. With all that talent, I think he should do as well or better than the guy he is replacing. We'd be playing the #2 pick and "seeing what we got". Which, so I'm told, is what 2022 is all about. Indeed. He's had several years, and it's hard to say the O-line is better than it was the day he got here. I hope so. I don't want to waste yet another year "finding out what we got". So you're already of the view that we cannot evaluate Zach till 2023? And even then only if we have a great O-line? It is indeed. If we're in a position to take Stroud ..... we take Stroud.... don't be dumb fellow Jets fans. Let em duel it out.... if a QB is to soft for competition they shouldn't be the QB 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the OL is as bad as you ate projecting here but it is far from fixed. That said, it is time for these coaches to earn their money. They should know what to expect from thr Pitt D. There is now 3 weeks of film to look at. They should be able to devise some plays based on tendencies at this point. I know it is asking a lot of them to actually game plan specifically for a team instead of just going the normal route of randomness thos O seems to play with but this needs to be done.

Popular Post Biggs Posted September 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2022 We have a backup at LT. Mitchell has played as well as Mosses did at RT last year. The OL has been upgraded at guard. Pittsburgh doesn't have Watt. There are no excuses this week. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect they will call pass plays that will have the ball coming out fast. They are not going to want him to do too much thinking. Could be a huge game for the slot receivers.

NIGHT STALKER Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 This organization has setup the FAN BASE TO FAIL...every year it's the same old BS and most of us fall for this quagmire. If you want to blame the owner, by all means do it. Different GM's and HC's over the years, some with success, but not the big game trophy. Others fall flat on their face. For years I said to myself, why not us? It just mystifies me how year after year we fall into this trap of having a competitive football team and we look like crap. I read somewhere that the Jets have won 3 home games in September starting from 2018? I may be off on a game there, but WTF? Here I am stuck in dolphin land and again I ask myself, WHY NOT US? 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pittsburgh will also adjust to this seeing as they have a competent coaching staff. Hopefully Lafleur calls a good game and puts him in the best position to succeed.

Agreed You’re not going to have ideal circumstances every week in the NFL. The interior of the OL is still intact and Mitchell has been a pleasant surprise so far at RT. If Zach is going to be rendered totally helpless just because we’re in a tough spot at LT right now, then he’s not the guy, period. He has the weapons, now it’s time to do something with them.

He needs to step up and play now. Sure, the OL could be better right now - but sh*t happens, good QB's don't go into shells. He proved last year he can play with a makeshift OL. He did't have the weapons at the end of last year to put up big numbers...but the OL right now is still better than the last quarter of the season last year. OL wasn't the problem. - the weapons where - and he has them now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeNamathsFurCoat Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Brady won the SB in his 1st year as a starter. I think he was throwing to Kevin Faulk, David Patten, Troy Brown, and Jermaine Wiggins The excuses really need to stop Bakthiari has missed the last 2 seasons in GB. Aaron Rodgers finds a way to make it work. He’s lost Davante and his #1 WR is now a 4th round rookie from Nevada. The packers are winning games. If ZW is legit, he’s legit If he’s not, no degree of “ideal” circumstance is going to make a difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doitny Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 1 hour ago, Jet Nut said: It’s not excuses but it is a fact, QBs being hit and harassed don’t perform as well as with protection. Brady struggled in games he was harassed and Mahomes did in the SB when his protection broke down. Its why we scream for our DL to sack and harass a QB. it’s not an excuse, you can still play or win even Oh like Flacco had to play with in weeks 1 and 3. But Zach is more mobile so from what I hear bad OL is no problem for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, it’s football 101, get to the QB increases your chances of winning He may struggle at times, and that is okay. But when he is protected, will he make the right reads, will the ball get out quickly and accurately. When the pocket breaks down, will he be able to extend some plays to escape pressure. Will he be able to step up in the pocket and deliver passes despite pressure (something Flacco has not been able to do these last few weeks. We just saw Joe Burrow escape several times when the pocket around him was collapsing and make plays out of the pocket to convert third downs. Can Zach do the same -- maybe not as consistently as a guy like Burrow, but often enough to be competent? A good NFL QB can still make plays despite pressure. And can still execute a game plan despite pressure. I am not asking him to be perfect. I just would like to see our offensive coaching staff build a game plan for the situation and have him execute it competently. He does not need to look like Brady or Mahomes. But if he looks like Luke Falk against Philly that would be unacceptable. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
