ukjets21 Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 It was always a mistake to have Wilson as anything other than a 3rd stringer. If you could cut him without cap penalties you would. He's probably better than Boyle so have him be that and have a backup actually backup Rodgers. That's what we should always have had and we still refuse to deal with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like why would Minshew back up Rodgers when he can compete with a rookie? The plan was Zach learns from Rodgers and never touched the field. We were never contenders with a back up QB even if it was Winston or Minshew or Brissett. Those aren’t winning or starting QBs. Those are get you through a few games. This team and coaching staff is not good enough. It didn’t have to be Minshew, it could have been literally anyone you didn’t just admit months prior cannot play at an NFL level. yes, that was their plan, and it sucked. Look where it’s going to get them. And if your mentality is to just wave the white flag because the starting QB went down, then yes the coaches deserve to be fired. It was a terrible plan to try to rebuild Zach Wilson behind Aaron Rodgers. It was done to save face, that’s it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsandI Posted October 1, 2023 Author Share Posted October 1, 2023 Jets were locked at backup role for Zach Wilson. That was even before Rodgers saga kicked off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll continue to repeat, most teams would suck without their QB. The bigger problem was not doing anything after the fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None. The plan should have been anoint Zach as QB2, then once Rodgers got hurt, go out looking for someone that can start? That’s supposed to be your QB2.

Dr.O Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 This week will be a test can Zach string together back to back good weeks. If the OL can play like they did against the chiefs and Hack calls a similar game I think he could do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a weak defense to let him just play his game against and see how he does without handcuffs. No more trying to turn him into this ultra conservative game manager. Getting Hall more carries would really help him out. By all indications he’s ready for a larger workload and this needs to be the week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jag68Sid87 Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 He does not need to play as well as the first drive of the second half, or the second quarter against the Chiefs. But if he played with a little bit more consistency, then this team could win games. AND, Wilson could actually be a capable NFL backup. He played like one against KC. I disagree that this game will be easier for him, though. Denver's defense has been carved up this season, but Mile High is never an easy place to play. Add in the "Hackett Bowl" element to this one, and I expect this to be a very difficult game to win. Arguably harder to win than opening week or last Sunday. I really wish we had Rodgers for this one, because it got personal for him when Hackett was "attacked" by Payton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL if this is harder than week 1 or last week than we have serious issues, starting with the coach. Yes its in Denver, but there is no way we should be losing this game. If we do...I would expect it to be the beginning of the end for Robert Saleh regardless of Rodgers coming back or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodgers would be a **** if he considered this game personal for him. Move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetsfan4life51 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 They have so many miscommunications, they didn't need a veteran Joyner. Then they kept on ST guys Hardee and Davis. Oh well. Pinnock hasn't been amazing, it was also a tipped ball. But hope to see Adams come back healthy and start making plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
