Zach starting Sunday (merged)

Jets quarterback Mike White was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday, but it doesn’t sound like the Jets are on the verge of turning back to Zach Wilson as their starter.

White was able to return to action after suffering a rib injury on a big shot from Bills linebacker Matt Milano last Sunday and he told reporters on Thursday that he has no doubt that he’ll be on the field against the Lions this weekend.

 

“No, no, none at all,” White said, via Rich Cimini of ESPN.com.

Sunday’s game would be White’s fourth straight start since he replaced Wilson in the starting lineup. Wilson was inactive the last three games, but has been bumped up to the No. 2 quarterback role ahead of Joe Flacco this week.

So Mike White had NO DOUBT he would play Sunday and would obviously know WTF in holy hell was going on with discussions with the coach and doctors and now he's not ******* playing ????????  This is bullsh*t

What are you so angry about? What's bulls@#$t?

Either white was trying to force his way into starting by saying he would play or the jets were trying to give out disinformation to the lions. 

Either way, who cares?

Wilson has taken the majority of the 1st team reps this week, that's what Saleh just said

So the Jets line was +1 then it went to -3 the last time I looked should be interesting to see where that line goes now Lions -3 ??

MW is playing for a gigantic contract.  He said what he needed to say.  I don't think there's any cover up going on.  I really think the doctors didn't clear him to play.  

Exactly. The same way he forced himself back into the game on Sunday he was trying to force his way back on the field against the lions. 

The Jets never said White was cleared to play against the Lions.

Ok, so this definitively means no broken ribs to me. 

I'm guessing some kind of internal injury? 

Only the Jets

how about just a lot of pain that maybe he was not being upfront about?  can you blame him $$$$ at stake for him.

Whatever, let Zach finish out the season after we lose this one so we can have our answer.

Things we will confirm in December that we already knew:

Zach sucks.

I care as a fan how my team conducts business and if this is some bullsh*t to get Zach in that would be infuriating. If they were doing this like You suggest they would have announced it on game day. 

[TuscanyTile2]

Because it would be the perfect curve ball for this season, I'm predicting ZW "shocks the world" and balls out on Sunday. 

Chris Simms is going to be unbearable.

[Esquire]

The team needs to rally around Zach even though it is clear they do not like or respect him.   The next two games are winnable and the team has no margin for error.  Shame on them if they don't do what it takes to  win them both.   Play great defense and run the crap out of the ball.

So this would mean the Jets sent MW back out their Sunday with 4 broken ribs and the chance he could sustain a very severe injury ? I mean they took X-rays WTF !

What is it with this team and injuries and the lack of being forward with the diagnosis . 

Why are you taking what some random Twitter account is saying as Gospel? He probably has a bruised on an internal organ they they're protecting

Did you not see White get crushed last week??? This is not a fake injury.

From reading Costello's tweet, sounds like more than just pain. Sounds like some sort of additional internal injury, but who knows

I'm not a doctor, but I would think if you have enough broken ribs, you would be risking life-threatening internal injuries and a flak jacket probably isn't 100% full proof. 

But I have no idea. Total baseless speculation on my part. 

That begs the question. If he had multiple ribs broken, why send him back in to play. He could have died. And when he got back home they didn't immediately do further testing. They just let him tell everybody he felt good and that he'd play Sunday. Something smells real bad here.

This is tough.  Because even though I like Mike White, he's played in like what... 7 games?  And gotten hurt at least 3 times?

If anything I think this is a confirmation of Mike White being at best a stop gap measure if Zach continues to poop himself on and off the field.

Talk about smooth though. "We're making Zach 2nd string, he's been doing everything great since we sat him... and oh yeah btw, Mike White is injured so this is really just starting Zach again."

The answer for the Jets at QB is clearly still not currently on the roster.

And if thats the case once again I ask why in the hell is he on the field at all "?

I don't think that's fair.  He's not beloved like MW is but that doesn't necessarily mean they don't like or respect him.  They probably do question him but I'm sure they'll give him a chance.

And with the short week, Zach most likely starts against Jax as well

Yup.
 

He’s either on the express track to cementing his starting spot back, or he’s on the express track to ending his experiment entirely….he can only go up from here so we shall see

I don't know, man

Next year it is. 

The Lions and Seahawks games are less important than the Jags and, especially, fish for playoff hopes. Can’t afford to lose one of those, but can afford to lose to the Lions. 
 
I’m hoping Zach balls out. He’s come back better after these time outs every time. If not, then I guess you have to wonder if the short week will be enough time for White to be healthy enough for Thursday night. I’m sure no one likes it, but I’d venture to guess it’s Zach’s job now until he loses it.

They were tight lipped for sure. Whenever they go silent I can feel the other shoe about to drop.

[football guy]

Mike White has not been cleared for contact because the rib fracture he is dealing with has not healed enough to the point where the doctors feel good enough about him taking a hit, which could pierce his stomach. Ribs tend to heal quickly so there's always hope that the rib would "move" enough to be cleared, but it simply hasn't. 

The plan was to bring Zach back this week "the soonest", but they also had planned to have him be inactive for 2 weeks, then backup, then (potentially) starting this week. Instead, he was active 3 weeks, temporarily promoted to backup but will start due to injury. 

It's important to note that Mike White has not lost his job. Zach will need to play well to keep the job. There's no saying whether White will be cleared by Jacksonville, but it appears unlikely. With that, it would seemingly mean 2 weeks for Zach and if he does not do enough to keep the job, they will go back to Mike White for the final 2 weeks. 

FWIW, many players have indicated that this was by far Zach's best week of practice all season long.

Brian Costello @BrianCoz

To clear one thing up, Mike White was cleared to return to the game Sunday in Buffalo after he had X-Rays in the stadium. He had further, more precise testing this week that showed further injury and that led to him not being cleared for contact this week.

WTF are you talking about ? Who ever said it was a fake injury ? They did numerous x rays and CT scans and then proceeded to let him practice only to be pulled on Friday ? Go back and read no one said this was a fake injury but if this was serious enough with internal injuries or broken ribs MW should be no where near a practice field. If it did not come down to those injuries and was a simple pain management thing and the Jets put in Wilson as the starter I have a big issue with that. Either way this is not a good look and if it was this bad he should not have been near the field in the game after said hit

Right - X rays would have 100% revealed broken ribs. Hard to think they just missed them. 

[Guilhermezmc]

I blame this on Michael Carter, he missed the blitz pickup on the Milano hit.

As for Zach, MLF should call 30 RPOs this game and QB option run plays

Also If we make it into the playoffs it won't be with Mike White there's zero chance Saleh is pulling Wilson if we win the next two games regardless of Wilsons performance.....the most likely scenerio is WIlson sucks like he has his entire career and MW finish the season out of the playoffs.
