Not sure if you saw it, but that was my Zach Wilson comparison earlier in the game. Only difference: Losman went 22nd overall. Wilson went 2nd.
-
I think Wilson is good for a 5th/6th rounder at this point. And I think there'd be takers: Belichick seems done with Mac, the Steelers have to be looking for someone more talented than Pickett, Carolina loves former Jets, etc., etc.
-
Yeah, but this was the Jets season - win and you've got a decent shot (on paper) at the playoffs, with Mike White maybe coming back for the final 3. Lose and it's basically over (538 says it's a 4% chance now). So sticking with Wilson that long and then going to the 4th stringer is basically giving up.
-
TN with Willis at QB - the definition of a project - would be the weakest team
-
Yeah, that was weird. Flacco must be in the doghouse again. The little bit he played this year he was actually ok. This team could have made the playoffs with Flacco at QB all year (assuming he'd stayed healthy, which he wouldn't have ...)
-
Correct. But I think comparison is to the Marrone/EJ Manuel years. Championship caliber defense, overdrafted a QB prospect who was really just a project, can go 9-7 (now 9-8) with a Kyle Orton or maybe Mike White, but that's their ceiling until they find an actual good QB.
-
Agreed. But the raw talent is downright Allen-esque.
-
Cardale Jones takes offense at this. So do Rex Ryan, Erik Pears, and 1.25 games of Percy Harvin
-
I'm not so obsessive that I'll actually do this, but someone really ought to count how many times this sentiment was expressed in the course of the last 3 hours ... (including by me)

Says Peterman's Redemption ...
-
Herbie is actually right. Streveler is a bargain basement Taysom Hill.
-
Lawrence and Justin Fields (just not this weekend please) are making that leap right now. I think the difference is Lawrence has found his coach. Fields will have to wait.
-
Probably. But he could also be Josh Rosen 2.0. Poor performance + attitude problems = no career at all.
-
I'm actually enjoying that.
-
He has the air of that other non-Mormon BYU QB, Jim McMahon.
-
Right. Actually for years I've been saying that NFL teams could do much worse at QB than simply poaching the best QBs in the CFL. I think tonight finally proves my point.
-
He WILL throw a pick. But still: amazing how simply not being scared out there (Streveler vs. Wilson) makes a huge difference to the whole offense.
-
Michaels now reading the Wiki page on Streveler at the exact same time as me.
-
It has been stated 20x already. But that's o.k. I've muttered it to myself at least 50x.
-
But do we have a guy who'll thrown punches at Sauce Gardner while still running with the ball on a live play?
-
Just occurred to me - Zach Wilson is not really Ryan Leaf or JaMarcus Russell or some other epic bust. He's just an ordinary bust so far ... he's ... JP Losman.
-
Eerie silence in the Meadowlands causes Jags to jump the count.
-
A thoroughbred horse. Secretariat.
-
He's just a wreck now. He showed some signs of getting it earlier this year (mostly vs. the Bills), but now he's like a rookie in Game 1. I still think he has the talent, but it's looking likely that if he ever puts it together it won't be with the Jets.
-
Ouch.
