Kleckineau Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 He isnt the first athlete to fail miserably and get rich doing it. I feel no sorrow for him. To win against KC he needs to go 30 for 40 4TDs 0 ints. Better chance playing Lotto. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Adoni Beast Posted September 30 Popular Post Share Posted September 30 While I don’t feel bad for him because hes a millionaire and set for life from playing a game…most of my anger and frustrations are aimed at the front office and coaching staff for • force feeding us this guy for 3 years • not holding him accountable • never having a viable backup option 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trotter Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 I kind of view it with some empathy since I have a son in his early thirties and if it were my son, I would be breaking. Put aside the performance and part if the issue is he is a bit unlkeable which he brought on himself and his mom does not help. if this is not going to work and 99% it won’t, then stop putting him out there and let him move on 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Darnold's Forehead Posted September 30 Popular Post Share Posted September 30 It's Saleh/JD who are stringing him on. They should be blamed for all of the flak Zach will get. Zach has shown what he is, how he cannot play up to the level desired of an NFL QB, yet they continue to play him and put him through the ringer time and time again. It's like continueing to send your child to football practice even though he comes home bruised up and crying every day. It's sad. I'm sure Sam Darnold and all the other QB busts are perfectly fine now serving as a backup somewhere. That should be Zach right now. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adoni Beast Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 I thought it was painful watching Richard Todd (ReTodd!)…then post 1987 Ken O’Brien…then Browning Nagle…then Glen Foley…then Mark Sanchez…then Geno Smith…then Sam Darnold…but no… I realize now that I’ve never felt true pain until I saw Zach Wilson play. I don’t think some people realize just how bad this guy is. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the plan truly was to give Zach a season or two to reset and learn behind AR, then they needed a real back-up. But imo, they should have cut ties with him and moved on. The situation the team and Zach are in now falls squarely on the shoulders of the GM who did not bring in a real QB2. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeNamathsFurCoat Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 There is plenty of blame to go around. I blame ZW for not pursuing tennis or golf or basically anything other than football. None of this would have happened. We’d have, at a minimum, Penei Sewell or Jamar Chase or Micah Parsons instead of a complete bust. He could still do the Jets a solid by retiring to save them the dead money, but he won’t. He blames everyone but himself and the Jets as an organization top-down have fostered this environment where they want him to be immune to criticism. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the talking Head ex-players (Might have been Ryan Clark) said, "It's clear Zach DOESN'T want to be on the field. He was happy being the backup". I'll try to find the clip. He compared Zach to Kids on HS and College teams he had known that liked being on the team, practiced hard, liked their teammates, but had no desire play in games. Zach liked just being another guy, the backup QB. No pressure, no spotlight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UntouchableCrew Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 I feel a little bad for him. Being subject to public shame and ridicule for failure takes its toll I’m sure. That said he’s pocketed what like 40 million? He’ll probably marry some hot blonde Mormon and coach football for the rest of his days. He doesn’t have it so bad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playtowinthegame Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Zach Wilson won the lottery getting picked #2 overall in the 2021 NFL Draft. It's too bad things haven't worked out, but he'll be fine. I feel more bad for the season ticket holders with their teeth falling out. 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rex-n-effect Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 It's gotta be rough sh*tting the bed in front of thousands of people and a national audience and then your coworkers hate you for it.

ZachStepdad Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Should have more sympathy for Sam Darnold …. He had a team full of practice squad players and coaches by Adam Gase …. Never had a chance here. If he was here we would be a top team in the league with playing average or better 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doitny Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 JD is like the Mayor from Jaws. no matter how many people the Shark eats he still wants the beachs open. no matter how bad Zach is he still wants him as QB. and Saleh is like Chief Brody who has to do whatever he can to keep the people safe but is handicapped by the beaches still being open. Saleh has to do whatever he can but is handicapped by being forced to start Zach Wilson. we need to hired someone to get rid of the Shark. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChewyandtheJets Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 I'm not sure I feel bad for him but the whole world does seem to be overly enjoying his struggles for whatever reason. I mean if Mahomes or Joe Burrow went down and the backup struggled there is no way it would be the lead story on every sports show. It would be understandable. Getting pissed at ZW for not playing good would be the equivalent of getting pissed at my dog for not being able to file my tax returns. The likelihood of either of these things occurring are about the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
