Flacco needs to be the starter. He’s guided a team with an elite defense before in Baltimore. Jets need a vet prescence right now.

How? Experience lol

Listen I agree zack leaves a lot to be desired right now. but besides Tua doing somewhat well against the pats, that game is usually a mental torture chamber for all young QBs not just Zack. I also pointed out in my original post he was one of the more raw QBs coming out. Tua faced SEC defenses routinely and benefited from a NFL Level staff (saban, Daboll). Zack played San Diego State & Western Kentucky lol I just think 18 games played is still not enough to determine he sucks with certainty especially considering his magician like powers escaping pressure. If he learns to reign that in and use it properly to make plays, watch out.

Well I’ve been around here awhile and always enjoyed the board. Jets for me will always be my top rival. I’ve also watched a lot of jets football and seen our teams QBs come and go and just wanted to give my opinion on your young QB.

Yup…and I’m in love. ? I’m totally aware of the narratives and criticisms about him, but I’m just being honest…never been happier with our QB play. ??‍♂️

I will preface this by saying zacks numbers appear to be exactly what they were last year. 2021 Comp % 55.6 2022 Comp % 54.9 2021 QB Rating 69.7 2022 QB Rating 71.0 Bad news is there’s been no significant progress. Good news is he’s only played 18 games, basically a full season. Expecting him to be a star out of the gate is unrealistic especially when he was considered one of the more “raw” QBs coming out in 2021. Zack will need another year to make a real judgment on him. The good things he does? Unteachable Escapability in the pocket. Very strong Arm. He can easily learn to quit making boneheaded throws after extending plays (his biggest nemesis right now imo. so take it from a dolphins fan who has a Ultra Mega Superstar QB that everyone wanted gone after 16 played games. ??Give Zack More Time!

Awww you remember me. ?

Here’s my question to Joe Douglas supporters. But before I ask let me say I love a lot of the moves he’s made. Loved the Saleh hire. Loved Wilson, Moore, Carter in last years draft. This current draft on paper looks like a grand slam. With all that said the team is 6-27 under his watch. What are expectations in year 3 of JD? Will a 5-6 win season, albeit a better record than last year, cut it? It’s really a weird situation in my eyes because it feels like he’s building something potentially special but the results on the field have stunk early on.

It’s love or hate and no in between. Almost 50/50. Tua haters Constantly bitch about 2 yard passes, being a frail injury prone QB and anytime he does something well it was the result of the other team being bad. Then there’s the pro Tua crowd that has an excuse for everything he does wrong. It’s really maddening. Lol I was very excited about Tua when we first got him but I’ve since tempered my expectations. I do still feel comfortable moving forward with him as our franchise QB. I think he has elite accuracy and thats enough with a decent supporting cast.

Tough question. Gun to my head I think I would just for the potential to have a top 10 QB that can play an exciting brand of football. I want to make clear im not knocking Tua by saying this. I think Tua’s a VERY good accurate passer that can make noise with the right pieces around him and im happy to have him, but his style of football is death by 1000 paper cuts.

It was one of Tua’s worst games imo. Only thing I was happy to see was him bounce back from the pick 6 and get the win. He was clearly carried by the run game and 2nd half defense.

Trust me I’ve been down the advanced stat hole to try and prove Tua can throw deep lol he clearly has an average arm. I’ve accepted it. I now just focus on what he does best, short accurate throws lol anyone with eyes can see guys like Mahomes, Herbert and Allen are a different level of arm talent then a guy like Jones.

Simply pointing out the obvious, they don’t throw downfield. All this with the most pocket time in the whole league. Advanced stats also say Tua is Elite at completing deep balls and we both know he’s far from a deep ball passer in his young career.

Again, Tua was far from the worst QB in the league last year yet in the media and within the fan base he needed to be replaced ASAP. Young QBs are on the shortest leash they’ve ever been on in today’s nfl.

Mac jones 23rd in passes attempted at 30+ Air yards. Mac Jones also has the highest pocket time at 2.4 with an elite offense line, yet they still don’t throw downfield. Only one with a straw man argument is you searching advanced stats trying to piece together data that makes him appear on par with the games greats. Truly bizzare.
