They don;t want Zac Wilson to threaten Mike Whites status as the starter.

Jets QB strategy always have the worst QB on the roster as your backup so you wont have any threat to the starter.  ?

Meh. Their play on the field has all but eliminated Zach's ability to threaten Mike as the starter. The only reason they haven't come out and inactivated him for the whole season is because of optics and to protect whatever is left of lil zachy's confidence.

I don't understand this.  Wilson had his best game ever against the Bills this year when he threw for 150 yds, 1 td and most importantly no turnovers. Remember he led them on that final drive like a franchise QB. 8 straight runs and then a pass that I could've made to Mims. I can't believe they're denying him this opportunity. 

 

But for real, who gives a **** about Zach Wilson anymore. I'm not sure if White is the long term answer but he's the short term answer and even if he throws 4 picks again he is still the best option at this point.

If the Jets can gain another 175 yards rushing vs the Bills, we should be alright with White.

I am a big believer in Mike White, and do not think Zach has any future on this team or in the league.  BUT, I would like for him to work his way up the depth chart back to #2 for the remainder of the season.  Heaven forbid a Mike White injury, but in that scenario I would prefer Zach's athleticism and shot at redemption to the corpse of Joe Flacco

White has limitations.  He is an excellent back-up., but he is not a bona fied starting QB.  He is starting for the Jets because Wilson is horrible and Flacco is ready to be put out to pasture.

Next season, White won't be in the plan as the starter unless things go very wrong.

I understand the dislike for Wilson and the perhaps true thought that he is an utter bust.  Thankfully we have a smart gm in charge though that is not going to toss an asset in the trash if he does not have to.  He is not getting cut or traded for scraps, worst scenario is he starts next year as the backup an is ready to go if white gets hurt or falters.  Zero reason to dump him now.

We got a second and fourth for Darnold....

Some team may think they can fix him and offer a good pick or two up. JD will pull the trigger if he feels White is good enough.

The only reason he won't get traded or cut is bc of his contract, that's it.  That's also the only reason they're trying to preserve any shred of upside right now by not totally making him inactive the rest of the season.
