Popular Post Warfish Posted November 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 24, 2022 22 minutes ago, SoFlaJets said: You know Warfish I wish Sooth hadn't sold out Jets Insider, leaving JetNation as the ONLY other Jets message board left We wouldn't have to put up with people making these blanket statements about us as if they have any idea about our posting histories or questioning what kind of Jets fans we are. When guys start talking about oh you've hated so and so for so long. I think it started with Tim Tebow becoming a Jet I get ya, but I don't think that's specific to old JI, or us now being on JN. The good posters, and the majority I think, here at JN all know guys like you and I go back a long ways, have been loyal fans a long time, just want to win, root the laundry, etc. I feel Max has given us ol' JI guys a great home, and that this community is mostly a great one. I just think it's a very small subset of very emo posters who see things through the prism of love/hate, rather than wins/losses/production. For them, it's all very deeply personal, they invest their emo souls into these QB's as if they were they brothers or mothers, they "love" these players (to use their language) before the players have earned any love on the field, and they become so deeply invested, anyone critical of their beloved player is a just full of "hate", and the desired end result (a Super Bowl win!) gets lost in their personal emotional investment. Worse, over time (like so many things in today's society) it becomes a "pick your side, us vs. them" thing, where these guys start seeing other Jets fans as "worse" than Pats fans for not "loving" Player X enough. Even sillier, they start blaming "bad fans" lack of "love" for WHY the player doesn't rise to the greatness they think they should. It's all very emo millennial. What surprises me if how many of these types of folks are actually as old or older than you and I! In fairness, they want to win too, I don't doubt that, but they wrap that up into one guy, and hold on to the fantasy hard, even in spite of tangible results to the contrary. As someone here once said, there are fans who take their frustrations out on the team, and fans who take their frustrations out on other fans of the team, lol. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lith Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 3 hours ago, SoFlaJets said: This was why he was on the sidelines it was an obvious late and dirty hit and MW's head bounced off the turf. It had NOTHING to do with your implication of him being "soft" The big surprise was that the Jets actually got a call on a late hit on a Jets QB, which Zach Wilson NEVER seems to get. The play in question starts at around 8:40 the dude leads with his head like a rocket I was not implying anything. I am happy he is starting Sunday and 100% think it is the right move, as I have stated several times in several threads over the last 24 hours. If you want to be a starting QB in this league, or even a long-term back up, then you have to be able to prove that you can take hits and stay in the game. Something he has not been able to prove in any of his starts last year. Hopefuly he plays well and proves his durability in coming weeks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 8 hours ago, SoFlaJets said: In His first game Mike White was forced to come into the Patriots game cold off the bench after Zach Wilson hurts his right knee, Jets are already down 17-0 By the time he throws his 1st INT was after he threw a TD pass to Cory Davis making it 17-7 in the 2nd Quarter the first of his 2 INTs happened late in the 3rd period when the Jets were down by 3 TDs and he tried forcing one in with the NE defenders sitting back licking their chops, just waiting. Throws another in the next series late in the 3rd by then the rout was on His 2nd game vs Cindy he had two INTs and BOTH occurred after the passes has gone through the Jets receivers hands and right into the Bengals defenders shocked and open arms-TWICE! His 4th and final game that he threw 4 picks in was another rout and 3 of the 4 interceptions happen when the scores in the 3rd quarter were 24-3, 31-3, and 38-10 Fact. And I don't really care to hear Chris Simms and other detractors ramble on about how White doesn't or hasn't thrown longer passes. He seems to be able to move the ball downfield and if you do that enough you'll ultimately end up in the endzone. If he can do that 2 or 3 times a game - we should pick up some more wins. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zach is a rocket armed dunce that can't hit a screen or wheel route. Why not have a poor man’s Pennington that can run the ball like a tank. Who’s just as fast, and more bruising than Fields. Just seems we want to run a WCO, with the threat of a running QB, and March guys out there that don’t exactly fit the profile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted November 25, 2022 Author Share Posted November 25, 2022 7 hours ago, BallinPB said: To @Lith’s point, I think White is always going to be an injury risk because he’s always climbing the pocket, literally walking into oncoming defensive tackles. It’s fearless and impressive, but it’s also terrifying. White is a skinny dude. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
