We're not looking for an "answer" at QB right now. We're looking for someone who can throw simple passes to Garrett Wilson without getting him injured. Its a low bar to clear. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to can the coach and gm b/c rodgers tore something, and wilson is simply a sunk cost that is going to go away after this season. But that doesn’t mean you blow this up, the roster is good. Conversely, say Saleh is true to his word and opts to play Wilson all season and the team finishes 6-11, 7-10 and Rodgers retires. Do you: 1. Give Saleh another QB and hope this turns out differently in year four, or 2. Fire Saleh and go into a coaching search offering up an elite young defense, some core skills guys on offense, and the 10th(?) overall pick with the chance to pick your own QB? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt that happens b/c saleh already benched him last year. The question is, can they find someone competent to run the offense so that when wilson plays like he does, and they lose bad, they have someone else to put in? Even with a guy like brissett, there’s no guarantee they make the playoffs anyway and could still wind up with a top 15 pick and a new qb and they still get to say they tried.

I also have a Door # 2: Acquire Davis Mills, who may well be a guy you can run back out there as the starter in 2024. Draft a QB in the middle rounds. Also not ideal but its an option.

Sadly, I think we're a fraud of a team as far as any "deep run into the playoffs" type aspirations are concerned. Possibly we can sneak into a wildcard if we get a guy like Brissett (or if ZW takes a big leap forward). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already demonstrated last year that they can pull the trigger on him and it’s arguable that Wilson looked worse yesterday than he did for the majority of last season. Saleh knows what’s on the line this year. No way he lets Zach Wilson continue to **** up his program. if we lose vs Dallas i still think they give him the NE game only cause we will be 1-1. then no matter what he would get the KC game cause its on short rest Thursday night. if Saleh really cared about whats on the line this year he would have had a better backup than Zach. i just think we wont be able to trade for a Bissett or anyone else worth it. whatever we can get i think they will just say we might as well ride with Zach. you know im one of the biggest Zach killers here, its not that i think Zach is a good QB. i think he is the biggest bust to ever play 23 games. i just have no faith that Saleh and JD will give up on this kid just yet. not after one start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You heard Buck allude to this last night. It was RARE what happened last year w/the defense not turning on the offense. It won’t happen again this time around. Too much talent. Too much pride. Too many competitive guys who want to win and win big on that side of the ball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsRay Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 2 hours ago, T0mShane said: I think what people are missing about Zach Wilson is that he’s fundamentally incapable of handling pass rush pressure. He hasn’t gotten any better at it and he won’t get better at it because he’s a physically tiny mush who doesn’t like contact. As such, defense can blitz him, he’ll sh*t his pants, and give the game away. It’s like having a batter on your team that can’t hit the breaking ball. If you put him up to bat, the opposing pitcher is simply going to throw breaking balls, and that batter is going to be out. It’s a fatal flaw. What QB likes contact? He took a shot and got bent in half that should have been a personal foul penalty because as the game wore on he did a better job of hanging in the pocket and allowing plays to develop. Rodgers was lost because he didn't have time to throw the ball. Wilson came in off the bench without any prep during the practice week, and in the second half, with adjustments made, he actually played pretty darn good and his stats and the team performance reflect that. I get that some of you hate Zach, and he deserved much of the criticism he's gotten, especially for last year, but with a healthy offensive line and Hall last year, this team was 7-3 under Wilson. It's obvious Rodgers and Hackett have been positive in his development and maturation. We should all be rooting for him, I think he will benefit from having Rodgers at his side this season and I think Rodgers will do all that he can to help him and the team. Let it play out! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could you not buy into the hype? incredible ..tragic ..turn of events after just a few minutes of play in the very first game. Still hard to believe. However..being so emotionally invested in this season..it may be irrational, but, I can’t just give up after game 1..(and a win at that).
