NJerseypaint Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Finally watched the game today, and I was all ready to vote White but holy crap was Carter the biggest factor in this game. He churned out some serious YAC. Not to take away from White, he had the best game we've seen from a QB in years, but I think it came from him being the first QB we've had in a while who can make the quick read and is willing to throw the short pass/checkdown. Maybe LaFleur has been calling these quick hits all season and Wilson's just been too stubborn? Who knows, but I want more of it; very McDaniels-esque.

Saleh seemed to claim a lot of the quick dump offs were actually shot plays where the bengals took Away the shot and the decisive throws to the check downs let us chew them up anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question I have is why draft a down field, vertical passer when you want to run a horizontal O? They could have traded down a bit and drafted Mac.

Get your QB in a groove, the defense on the heels, and then let it fly when you have the defense playing the game to your pace. 8 hours ago, KBS756 said: Saleh seemed to claim a lot of the quick dump offs were actually shot plays where the bengals took Away the shot and the decisive throws to the check downs let us chew them up anyway This makes a lot of sense then. Zach's likely trying to force the big play because he has the tools to do it, while White is fine with checking down when it's not there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time off should really help him in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GangGreen420 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 If Wilson is ignoring check downs because he “wants” the big play, then he shouldn’t be playing. When he comes back he needs to be able to identify and hit the open read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunslingers are going to just do that, and sometimes it takes time to break them out of that mindset. Zach is young and hopefully he'll learn.

When he comes back he needs to be able to identify and hit the open read. I don't think he is ignoring the short pass or check down, I think he just looks deep first and then runs out of time. The game is still too fast for him, add in the beating he took the first couple of games and his internal clock in the pocket is too quick. Once he realizes he has more time than he thinks he has, he will be able to go through his progressions quicker and make more decisive throws. That is all part of the maturation process.

doumeyer Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 MIKE WHITE AFL OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK IT IS OK TO CHANGE YOUR VOTE. i AM NOT GOING TO NAME NAMES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetfuel34 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 MIKE WHITE is in the HOF!!!!!!! The HOF put his jersey and game ball on display this week. In his first NFL start he completed 37 passes which is the most ever in a start in NFL history. Then you add he is the second person (Cam Newton) to pass for more than 400 yards in his first start. This kid has talent because you just don't put up numbers like this against a top 10 D in the league and not be at least average. This guy might be our Kurt Warner.

jetsfan4life51 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I don't think that type of YAC is sustainable. Teams can key on the RBs/dump offs and make White beat them in the air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doumeyer Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 The NFL just put Mike Whites Jersey and game ball in the HOF, the league said he is only the second person in the history of the league to pass for over 400 Yards in his first start, going back to 1950 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
