Popular Post Jet_Engine1 Posted October 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2023 Here we are at a 3-3, a very improbable 3-3 with wins vs Philly and Buffalo, a close game vs KC, and a loss to one of the 5 worst teams in the league (NE). So, after so much hyperbole, nonsense, screaming and simping, where are we really with our 3rd year QB. This is just on Zach, not personnel selections, playcalling, etc. The Good After spending the summer as the presumed QB 2, looking at a Redshirt year behind Rodgers... well, we all know what happened. Buffalo seemed caught completely flat-footed and couldn't capitalize. But then it got ugly for a couple of weeks. Dallas' defense completely overwhelmed the Jets O Line, and while a multi pick game isn't good for anyone, it didn't effect the final result. The Pat's game was an abysmal showing... and then things started to get better. A Good game vs KC, a decent game vs Denver, and a "solid" game vs the Eagles. So why is this in the "Good"? Wilson has finally figured out something Sam Darnold and many other young QBs never did or do. Sometimes it's better to just be "good enough"... as long as you're not throwing picks. We haven't seen "Hero Ball Zach" yet this season. He's been careful and hasn't had a turnover since the fumbled snap vs KC a few weeks ago. The timing of that mistake was brutal, but sh*t happens. Zach didn't win the game vs Philly, but he was good enough, unlike Jalen Hurts, who LOST the game for his team with 3 picks. Wilson's statistical trend line is no longer pointing down, his comp. % is over 60 so far this year and his ability to manage the game is markedly improved. The Bad Red Zone efficiency. It's HORRIBLE. For whatever reason, Wilson is very hesitant to attack into the End Zone from between the 10-20 yard line. Far too many Field Goals are the end result of Jets trips into the RZ. I wanted to be able to blame playcalling, but when plays into the EZ have been called, the accuracy has been subpar. Wilson gets tight in the shortened field and seems to be hesitant or overthinking. This should be a point of emphasis over the next 2 weeks (Zach ain't going anywhere, guys. Until ARod is fully cleared and good to go, Wilson is the Jets QB barring unforeseen events). The Redzone production must improve, or Wilson is just another fill in the gap, high level career backup type QB. The lack of Turnovers is good, but the failure to convert chance after chance into 6 is a massive hindrance to the team. The Jets are a team with league average+ talent on Offense. Garrett, Breece, Lazard, 3 effective TEs, a deep RB room, and good role players, 4 TDs throuhh 6 games in simply isn't good enough. And Zurleins 9... NINE!! Field Goals the last 2 games just highlights the points being left on the field. This needs to change. The Ugly Contrary to popular belief in some corners, Hacketts Offense is getting guys wide open all over the place, including in the end zone. Zach needs to stop missing wide open guys. I like that he has apparently finally discovered that Garrett Wilson is pretty much always open, even when he's not, but he MUST start finding the guys who are open by YARDS and get there in his reads faster. It seems for every good throw, there was a better one available. He needs to start hitting them... And the Sacks. Ties in with what I just wrote, he MUST get faster in reading and pulling the trigger. Sure, when he rolls out and there's a guy standing there ready to blow him up, it's a tough situation to deal with, but he demonstrated yesterday that he knows how to handle that, and he dealt with that exact situation perfectly later (the Roll to the right, screen to the hot behind the rusher). He's gotta be more consistent. Bottom line? If he manages to fix one of his 3 biggest remaining issues, it would be massive. An improvement in RZ efficiency should be the #1 priority. Shoot, a 20% improvement would be monumental for the team moving forward. Right now we have an efficient game manager. It is what it is. He's doing his job at an acceptable level, but in order for the Jets to do anything beyond stringing a few wins together here and there by playing stifling Defense and rudimentary base level Offense, Wilson has to get better in the RZ. Beyond that, who knows? If he continues to improve, could he become an "average NFL starting QB"? Sure. I guess. But he's not there yet. Regardless of where he was picked, he needs to get better, but he has improved. His stats this season are still dragged down by those 3 picks v Dallas and a TERRIBLE game v NE, but unlike Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts, and a bunch of others, while he's not taking games over, he hasn't been throwing them away, either. Now, GET BETTER IN THE RED ZONE, KID! 14 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all real-world options, cost exceeds return, or improvement certainty is lacking. I know I say this alot, but two things can be true at the same time: 1.

OilfieldJet Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Also good: 1) Zach has run reasonably well for real yardage. Not too much, but effective, 2) Few INTs, 3) Not many dirt balls. Also bad: 1) Throw accuracy mediocre at times - he is going to get a receiver killed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t work like that. In a perfect world, you shut down every team you play but there will be a Dallas game or two. Maybe a Miami game? Maybe the Bills game? Maybe the Chargers get the best of the defense that week? These aren’t things you expect, but they are things you have to be prepared for, the main way you stick in games that are starting to get away from you (and I know, this is like, a super complicated way of saying..) you SHOW THE ABILITY YOU CAN GET 6 WHEN YOU NEED TO. How about a game where you can get 6 in consecutive drives? Are these things not normal in the NFL? We have not shown we are capable of that. For mistake free as we have been, we’re still an extremely limited offense. Look, I’m not mad at the game plan, I’m not mad at him playing risk free. I just know I see a guy who doesn’t have the capability of being consistent enough to convert those big 3rd downs needed to jab back at opponents mid-game. the majority of our points this season are field goals for a reason. clean the red zone stuff up & we’ll talk about it.

It seems for every good throw, there was a better one available. He needs to start hitting them... This is my biggest gripe with him. The all-22 breakdowns the last two weeks had shown that we should have comfortably beaten the Chiefs and blown out the Broncos if Zach would just hit the open guys when they're open. Too many times he either would miss the read completely, be slightly late on the read, or make the right read at the right time and throw an inaccurate ball. Happened again yesterday on at least the two occasions I could see just from the broadcast. These misses are not just resulting in incompletions; they're indirectly leaving points off the board by stalling drives, or directly leaving points off the board by preventing TDs. And then of course there's the add-on effect of the defense having to get back on the field quicker and more often without the benefit of scored points. I think if he were to solve this, it would also solve the red zone woes, because (1) there would need to be lesser red zone opportunities as we'd have longer TD passes/catch and runs, and (2) the coaches might trust him more in the RZ and cater to having more success there. ========================== Trying to end on a positive note: I haven't been as impressed with Zach as a lot of others have been over the last three weeks, but credit where it's due: he's being safer with the ball, has cleaned up his accuracy on swing/screen passes, and is definitely being smarter pre-snap. My three favorite Zach plays from yesterday's game: (1) The two point conversion where he hung in the pocket instead of bailing, threw a pass with anticipation, and used his god given ability to fire a rocket over the middle and convert. (2) When he rushed to get the snap off as Philly was subbing and caught them with 12 men on the field (3) When he got the D to jump offsides and hit Garrett for a 25 yard play (even though it was called back on that bullsh*t call) (Honorable Mention): The deep pass down the sideline to Garrett. There wasn't much for him to do there, but I love that he found Garrett in single coverage and threw it up trusting Garrett to come down with it. The best QBs in the league do this with a lot of consistency when they know they have a game breaker like Wilson on the outside. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAustrian Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 For the Zachy-boys I'm a hater for sure, but they are right at one point ... he is a backup now ... we ****ed up as we picked him at 2 - not his fault. When he sticks to his actual performance give him a 1mio contract for a qb3 spot and draft another one - when he improves and shows some touch downs in the next games - think about let him sit behind aaron as qb2 - he's not 60 years old - he can learn i guess 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Rico Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Excellent analysis! The only thing I can add to it is, design at least one play where the receivers stretch the field out and let Zach throw a bomb where either the receiver catches it, or no on catches it. The Jets never do this. Even if the play is designed where he throws it out of bounds, just the fact that they sent 3 WR's deep, it would definitely surprise the defense and get them out of whatever comfort zone they were in thinking it's gonna be the same run run pass to the check down punt offense. We all know Zach has a strong arm. How about throwing a bomb on first down on the opening drive? Imagine the Jets starting a game 7-0. On the first play. Of the first possession. Now imagine our defense playing with a lead in the first quarter. The dynamic of the game changes entirely. Those red zone FG's that frustrate us so much actually become solid strategy; continue to maintain the lead, instead of scratching and clawing from behind the entire game, where an opposing QB has to to throw a dumb ass interception (Allen and Hurts), that gives us a gift and an opportunity to win. Confidence levels boom. They stay high the whole game, because this ultra conservative play calling that the Jets want to run is cool when you have a lead. We're not going to get these gift INT's late in games all the time. That's not a winning formula. Design a play. Just one damn play. Go for the damn jugular on first down in the first quarter. No one will expect it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Rico Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 I know it sounds simple, but it really is this simple: The Jets have to play with a lead. Get a two score lead, early on, and all of this conservative play calling for the rest of the game is a plus, instead of a negative. Red zone FG's? SWEET! Because we are always playing catch up, the conservative play calling, playing for a FG instead of a TD pisses us all off. But the same exact play calling is actually how to win the game when you have the lead. Take all the pressure off Zach that he has the entire game because he's always looking at a scoreboard where the Jets are down and time is running out, that is when he chokes (as do alot of QB's). In a nutshell, just figure out a way to score a TD in the first quarter. Start the game with a 7-0 lead. Maintain that lead throughout the game, and I think the knocks on the conservative playcalling and the knocks on the QB will dissipate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams would already be expecting the jets to play conservative with Zach Wilson. With a lead even more. Even if we had a monster Oline ( we don’t ) it’s hard to run effectively when the D knows it’s coming. Zach needs to see the wide open receivers downfield, and actually hit them. Shots downfield always open up run game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he ****s it up, then it's on him and we can stop the nonsense blaming MLF/Hacckett for "holding him back". But maybe he doesn't **** it up, maybe he gets a TD on the opening drive. Playing with a lead is the only way we are going to really see who's the albatross on this team, or not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
