This is a terrible draft class for QBs to boot, they will have to hope something hits in FA. Reality is that in the current league a QB with at least some mobility is required. Stafford last season is the exception, not the norm and of course he gets wrecked this season, that's going to happen more and more with pocket QBs. Pass rushers are just so quick in the NFL anymore you can't just depend on a statue like in the past.

I have thrown in the towel with Wilson as well as with this franchise. The answer as to who is going to be the Jets QB for next year and going forward its Mike White who will be signed long term and be paid at least 20 million a year.

Scott Mitchell is exactly the name I think of when I think of the Jets future with White locked in to a long term contract.

Also, they are in draft pick purgatory this year. Not good enough to make the playoffs and not bad enough to pick high.
I really like the GM, he’s done a great job the last 2 drafts (outside of Zach), but he’s on borrowed time. No one survives botching a QB twice. Has to hit big on this decision.

Jimmy G is an affordable, maybe 20-25 million guy who would rally the locker room and stabilize the position. He’s constantly hurt and White would be a fine backup for him. Wilson will succeed at some point in his career but it won’t be with the bland Jets who hired a guy who was nothing more than an offensive assistant to Shanahan to be the coordinator in Lafluer’s little brother.
They had 6 rushing yards at half. 6. And Wilson is a nice young WR but they don’t have much talent outside of that. Roster overrated top to bottom.

If you look up the drafts of the previous GMs of this team Joe Douglas can keep this job as long as he wants it.

Jimmy G is absolutely not going to the Jets this offseason or ever.

If Brady doesn't go to San Francisco I expect Wilson to go there for a third round pick but the Jets are not taking back Lance.

On the subject of the Jets they will never do anything with Saleh and Lafleur coaching this team. Detroit and now Jacksonville exposed how overrated the defense is since its obvious that 5 yard passes continuously turn into 30 plus yard gains.

This thread would be a lot more genuine if it was started by me and not just initiated to take a shot at me. If I am wrong I am sure we will see new threads pop up about the quarterback situations in Tennessee, New Orleans, Houston, Indianapolis, and Atlanta just to name a few teams with no answers at the position.
Great Scott Mitchell reference...
He's definitely a conundrum. He's not getting the team over the top. I don't think they win last night with him. The play calling was atrocious as is.
I like Mike but watched him struggle to score versus a poor Minnesota defense as well.
I don't think it's to take a shot at all.
We discussed this in detail a lot last night and back to the last few Jets games...

I apologize to @VirginiaCavs for flying off the handle.

You couldn't be more right about the atrocious play calling which has been an issue all year with Lafleur.

For the record I still believe that Wilson can be salvaged it just will never happen with this organization and coaching staff. San Francisco is the perfect team and coaching staff to develop him but they are such a win now team that they may not feel they can take the chance.
No need to apologize
The frustration is understandable.
Wilson is not good. As I said last night though, they put him in bad situations that doesn't help either.
Despite the t.o.p. dominance in the 1h last night, 2 runs after the first drive (also 2 runs) set them/him up for failure immediately.

Wilson literally only hit wide open receivers. His accuracy on longer throws, his decision-making, and his vision (his ability to identify open targets) were awful

This is probably an overreaction, but I can’t remember him throwing a completion from the pocket when pressured.
Not just from last night, any game.

I predicted this. This is exactly how he played at BYU but he got away with it during that Covid year because they just beat up on garbage teams. He feasted on 50/50 balls that his receivers came down with the majority of the time.
He could be fixed with the right QB guru but he was definitely drafted into one of the worst spots possible. He needed some years as a backup to learn from a good mentor.

Absolutely spot on.
Their gameplan never gave him a chance.
Last night was as brutal as it gets, both directions...

I am in favor of contraction and offer up the Jets to be eliminated as a franchise.

I'd love relegation but neither will happen for the obvious reason that owners weren't privy to those terms when they bought teams

You wouldn’t want the modern day Joe Cool?
The guy starting for the Eagles tomorrow and Mike White will be the Jets top 2 QB next year.
Joe Douglas will spend, spend and spend again on the offensive line. He’s got skill guys, he’s got a very good defensive core, he knows you cannot buy a franchise QB, so if you build the team around an average to good QB, then you can make a run.
See Jimmy G in the SB year for Frisco.
It makes no sense to pay 25 mill a year for a blatantly average QB in Jimmy G or Carr if that downgrades your overall depth.
Go with guys with potential and hope they play up to the skill level of their surroundings.
Personally, I think Mike White has upside…can he stay healthy is the question. This team has already shown they want a guy that will have as much toughness as he has skill. They love White and they’d love Gardner…both are very similar…with a very good team around them they can win a playoff game or two, if the cards break right.

Zach is an all-time bust. He will be a flight attendant in 2 years and out of the league.
Which won’t be a problem since his uncle founded JetBlue.

$20 million is dirt cheap and if Jimmy plays he wins. Top 10 QBR all time. Just think it would be silly to not consider him. But the team may not be good enough for his consideration.
Inspekdah
My man, Michael Jordan!
That 9ers team was 20 players deeper than the Jets are now. It’s hardly a model to follow to discount the QB position. Don’t think Jets have 5 players who would start on that 2019 team.
Spek…if he’s so good, why don’t you want to keep him on your team? Serious question.
Inspekdah
My man, Michael Jordan!
I would absolutely hope they keep him. Wish they never drafted Lance. If he didn’t get hurt they cruise to the ship and he wins a new contract. With him likely not playing again I just don’t see it unfortunately.

Amazing how it always comes back to one thing in the development of a QB
Is Rodgers not an option to take the Favre route?
KJ
Bump. Set. Shuma!
Jets have some very good young talent, they legit can build with it if they don't do something stupid like bring in a QB on his retirement tour that will stunt their growth
Remember those Zach Wilson tidbits before the draft that he was an arrogant, entitled little bitch? He's lost the locker room, that's the 1 big no no in NFL. I like his skillset but needs to be on the right team...unfortunately for Jets fans he had to learn his lesson as a bust in NY.
KJ
Bump. Set. Shuma!
Will never fail going back to David Carr being drafted first by an expansion only to get lit up his rookie year
Never had a chance
Situation is everything, that guy goes to a team with a line he coulda been a 10 year pro bowler, instead he developed happy feet
KJ
Bump. Set. Shuma!
Every team has a strength/conditioning coach but I feel like they'd be better off having one for OL and one for DL...then another for the rest
Just such different skill sets and agility

Yeah I figured it had to be a lot more than just losing Hall. That’s impossible to overcome
