This couldn’t have gone into that long winded Zach thread?

I don’t know what is more pathetic, Zach playing QB or the posters in this forum that feels everything this guy does whether positive or negative warrants its own thread.

100%. If Zach runs on the field without tripping on his own shoelaces, some fanboy will probably post about it lol. I don’t think giant fans will have a weekly “ Barkley watch “ and report about his game day stats.

I thought for sure the "Zach Wilson isn't on the Jets anymore" thread would hit 100 pages yesterday and then Wilson completed some passes 😔 @Jetsfan80 still hasn't come out of hiding! All because Slappy has seemingly made the Broncos as the 3rd string QB. God forbid Wilson ever ends up starting you will have to dredge rivers in order to find his body 😅

 

[The Crusher]

I'm fine with everyone ignoring it but you guy do realize you can't trade a guy after cutting him right?  LOL

[jamesr]

Hmmm ... about the right age for Zach too.

1. Barley is a billion times better at his position than Zach ever was at his 

2. Giants fans absolutely will, especially since their QB's blow donkey balls.

The bro is *rumored to be* clinging to the 53rd roster spot on one of the worst teams in football and you guys want to act like he took the hill at Dunkirk or some sh*t. 

Under a quality offensive HC like Sean Payton, Zach Wilson is finally learning to go through his progressions like a pro QB would be expected to.  The thrill of watching a high-octane offense can be likened to the excitement of hitting a big win at a cashlib casino, where strategy and precision lead to rewarding outcomes!

I agree, he IS finally "being learning".  Absolutely, 100%.  The #3 spot, is, after all, ideal for "being learning" your position.

As an aside, when did you hack Tuscany's JN account Mr. Casino SpamBot?

The Zach Wilson faithful re-emerging from their bunkers after yesterday's performance vs future Amazon delivery drivers 😅

Broncos innovating by putting the water boy on the 53 man roster.

Imagine if both Nix and Stidham are injured and our defense gets its hands on Zach in week 4?

I really don't think we understand how humiliating it is and obviously a curse from the football gods if this dude ends up being a great QB somewhere else. 

I don’t think you need to worry about that

It will never change the fact that showing him the door was absolutely the right move for the Jets at the time. Was a disaster that was not getting better.

I agree.  He was never going to develop here, and the fanbase would have gone nuclear if Wilson had been back.  Wilson needed a change of scenery and a decent coach who knew how to develop a QB. According to Sean Payton, Wilson has played at a very high level the last 3 weeks.  He is making the roster.  It may take him another year to develop, but by next season he may be able to finally maximize his talent.  I'm rooting for him regardless, because I hate to see any superbly-talented person in any field of endeavor fail.

You know what? I’m naming you the President of Zach Fan Nation. If he tanks or does well, you’re the person I’m coming to for answers.

That's fine.  As I said, I'm not saying that he will develop, but Sean Payton said that Wilson has been playing at a very high level the last 3 weeks and that he is definitely making the Broncos roster.  I understand why you don't like Wilson, and know that he needed to be traded or released by the Jets.  He still has a lot of arm talent and more than good enough athleticism.  He still may not be able to make good, quick decisions and throw with anticipation, but if anyone can bring that out of Zach, Payton can.  The Jets sure don't have anyone on their CS that could have.

Come on. That's coach speak. Do you really think he's played at a really high level? I watched the game and while he put up good numbers, he made some plays that no high level QB would ever make. Ever.

Pssst....fake mad?

[rangerous]

odds are he will start one or more games.  he won this back up job.  it's not like the broncos had any vested interest in keeping him if they thought he couldn't do the job.

It’s cute when you try to act tough 

white is an over the hill phony.  he was never the people’s champion you tried to make him out to be.  Takes more than a John Unitas haircut.  
 

Are you ever right about anything? 

 

[ncjetman]

wish him the best pf luck - tough situation for him here in ny - probably never be a star but he can carve outna career as a backup - great money and great memories- we should all be so lucky!!!!!!

Zach got the greatest opp here in NY and he sucked. So it's not just the team's fault it's mostly on him. And along the way because of this major miscalculation by the org he not only got himself fired he could get everybody else fired. Except for the worst one the owner here. But he's not as bad as his detractors say he is and has the potential to turn it around. As for ruining your life because he took 3 years out of it get real. Look btw in that years draft most of the top QBs drafted high are out too.

Where's @Jetsfan80?

When did he win the backup job?

[ChewyandtheJets]

The only thing I can take from this subject is when a coach or the team says you were on a “heater” or looked real good during one week of practice what it really means is “we were 100% certain he sucked but now we have to reconsider, it’s possible we are only 98% certain.”

Watch the video of Zach's best plays from Sunday's game. http:// https://www.nfl.com/videos/zach-wilson-s-best-plays-from-3-td-game-vs-cardinals-preseason-week-3

Payton is not one to talk players up like Saleh, and if Zach was not good, he had absolutely no reason to keep him on the roster.

Well .. he would be an expensive cut ... I think the broncos knew this was a project.

There was no announcement of Zach being backup ... I think Stidham had already secured the position.... He was most likely referencing this article...

True except to convince another team to trade something, like anything for him once a couple QB's go down. Other than that, you are correct.

I mean I hope he gets married to the woman and they have a lot of kids and joyous moments. I get where the board is coming from with the attacks because, at times, he seems he fits the profile of a "surfer" dude bro with no care, but I personally would try to refrain from personal attacks and attack his on the field play. Now can you say maybe his off the field attitude effects on field, ok fair enough. Just as a societal observation, I don't like the idea of "winners" and "losers" in life. I get in organized competitions that idea, but not life, as life is not an organized competition. Every religion it's reward or punishment, not winning or losing. Just my thoughts.    Edit: Bad wording, I should have said don't like the idea. I changed the wording from get to like.

I've been to Utah a lot of times. Trust me there's no surf there. Aztec sandstone yes, but no surf. 😉

I enjoy a nice Beef Barley soup myself, so I concur it is a billion times better.
