It’s a Christmas miracle. Just rip the bandaid off

They don't really have much of a choice. There's no possible way to sell his return, even in an open competition -- you need a new answer at QB for 2023.

[Guilhermezmc]

Amazing

[slimjasi]

Very curious to see if there is a team that would trade for him

I think you may need to give up picks to get rid of his contract.

A 5th and Wilson for a 7th or something.

[T0mShane]

When you consider the opportunity cost, the comparative resumés, and the expected return, this was far and away a worse pick than Vernon Gholston.

Sounds like opinion. Unless the Jets just don't  want tongive him a roster spot,  he will be on the team. 

[johnnysd]

That is just pure conjecture.  Been it sounds good with the recent game. I still maintain it is far far more likely the Jets fire LaFleur than get rid of Zach, They might do both but I am not seeing how LaFleur keeps his job

[56mehl56]

Even if that will be the front offices (GM/HC) decision , there would be no benefit of them releasing that information now. Just makes no sense , so I claim total speculation BS and Glaser trying to lay claim he was first in breaking the news. 

[PS17]

duh

[BigRy56]

I don’t think there’s many that are more respected out there than Jay Glazer. If he’s reporting it, lock it up

[Wit]

This is pretty bad. JD probably should lose his job for not sticking with Darnold and trading the pick, but he continues to get better at drafting each year. Zach was so bad that the coaching staff probably stays intact. If they miss the playoffs next year Woody will clean house. 

[Larz]

Looks like glazer framed it as “expect”

Did he say he heard it from a team source?

 I’m not surprised and I don’t disagree but not taking this too seriously 

[Beerfish]

It is certainty possible but what shred of evidence is there to this effect?  And what does move on mean?

To move on they have to actually get rid of him, off the team.  Starting Mike Whit for the 3 games until he gets hurt is not moving on.

If they can get something decent for him you move on.  If not which is more likely you keep him as QB 2 or 3.

In any case, the Jets have to add at least one viable QB to White to compete with white at the very least.

Yeah I can’t recall Glazer ever breaking news that is incorrect.

There’s one born every minute.  I can see douglas using wilson to move up rounds rather than trading him for, say, a conditional 3rd rounder.  But you can’t keep him on the team, you can’t keep stacking the roster and losing when someone else is hurt and you play wilson and can’t score.  I have more faith in becton returning than in wilson figuring it out.

I agree. 

Gholston was dreadful but was the consensus #6 player at #6 and the rest of that first round was pretty meh.

Wilson was a big risk at #2 and has been an unmitigated disaster. I'm still not much of a believer in the rest of the QBs taken after him (very much still wait and see on Fields who I preferred at the time) but guys like Jamar Chase, Patrick Surtain, Micah Parsons, Penei Sewell, Rashawn Slater, and Kyle Pitts were all there.

Zach Wilson and a pick for Jordan Love, Get White back to be the backup.

[RutgersJetFan]

I actually blame myself for thinking this was ever gonna go any other way.

I'm not seeing this.  He's shown with competent QB play the offense works reasonably well.  Zach and Flacco just couldn't make it work.  White and Josh Johnson had some success.  I would think the discussion is on how much of an upgrade do they need vs. White since he was not great in the red zone and is injury prone.

Love looked good in limited play, but man its scary to get another guy thats never played. 

[mrcoops]

Mike White, solid vet FA competition/backup, plus a rookie drafted in the first three rounds.

Zach traded to the highest bidder, probably for considerably less than we got for Darnold.

if Zach doesnt start and its White or Flacco and they can do good its not MLF, it was Zach.

A lot of people were fooled, I wouldn't take it too hard buddy. I believed he had talent.

Not gonna argue that very fair.  I just don’t see a better option, they are all gambles Minshew, White, whoever I’ve seen both White and Minshew they are not the Jets long term answer.

[Scoop24]

I could see it.. Glazer is legit

Only other guy is Carr. I agree, no one great is available. Rodgers may be done, and I dont want to gut the defense to trade for him.

This sort of idiocy is the kind of thing that could make me just give up on this team forever.

[Matt39]

Purdy taking a pain injection to play today. Hard to believe they didn’t let White play.

[Creepy Lurker]

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! I’m so grateful to have been there Thursday night. Nail in the f’n coffin!
