Apocalypse Nuts Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Mods feel free to merge or whatever needed. Just saw this on Rich Eisen and HAD to screenshot it. Big Ed Oliver saying hello to Mike White on Sunday afternoon. If you haven't seen it already, I highly recommend you go back and watch this highlight and pay special attention to White's face and body language after Ed totally dumps him to the turf. Honestly, this is one of my favorite plays of the season so far. Love Big Ed! He's not Aaron Donald, but I bet 99% of NFL offensive guards and centers out there would rather not have to deal with him for 4 hours. Does not get much better.

Jerry Jabber Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 I was at the game and kind of felt bad for him and the Jets fans. Everytime the Jets started on offense, you could hear a bunch of Jets fans “Come on Mikey!” After the score got out of hand early in the third quarter, Jets fans started leaving in masses.

Captain Hindsight Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 I felt bad for this kid. He's been cut 11 times, bounced around the league and finally gets an opportunity and has a fantastic game. Gets hurt in his second start (after playing pretty well) then comes crashing down to earth the next week. He may never get another shot and that sucks for him Now he's gonna get benched for a washed up Flacco or Sam Darnold 2.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can say you have confidence in yourself without being ridiculous. Exactly. He could say "I felt I should have been drafted higher than I was" or "I've always believed I could play in the NFL if I got the opportunity". Saying "I felt I should have been the first overall pick in 2018" to the team of the 7th overall team in 2018 is just an unnecessary throw-down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloMatt Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I think they start him next week. Flacco is made of paper. He is there more to teach Wilson then to play. Jets want to see what White can do against Miami. I suspect he will have a better game. The problem was he was trying to win with hero ball when all he needed to do was lose proper i.e. make right reads, protect the ball etc. Early on he made some nice throws and reads. He went through his progressions quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Hooks Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Sitting White in favor of Flacco makes no sense to me. The dude could actually be pretty good. First off, he’s on the Jets, they don’t have much talent and the coaching is suspect to say the least. Secondly, they went against one of the best if not the best defense in the league. This is basically his rookie year and he didn’t get any work in the offseason. If Josh Allen in just his rookie year had that first game, and then looked as good in his second game before getting injured, then had that terrible game against one of the best defenses, we wouldn’t sit him it would kill his confidence. You don’t look great in every game. All qbs have off nights, more so in your first few games as a pro. Wilson, Fields, and Lawrence all had rough games to start. I’d work with the young guns, see what I have and go from there. Best case, they both show up and you have some trade bait. Worst case you know you may need to start the search over again. You learn nothing starting Flacco other than he might be slightly better than two noobs right now. Either way, it’s very Jetsy and I’m okay with it as they’re only hurting themselves long term, IMO.

I think they know White is nothing special-similar to the day Matt Barkley lit the Jets up in 2018 and never reproduced that performance since. So, if Saleh feels he knows that there's nothing to have to contemplate about White's future and is trying to build a winning culture, why waste another game on White when he thinks Flacco gives him the best chance to beat Miami, in what has to be one of the more winnable games on the schedule. In 2018 what you say about Josh did happen to some extent. Josh got hurt a few games after lighting it up vs Minnesota. The difference is that Josh was the equivalent of Zach Wilson, not Mike White, so the next game after Barkley lit up the Jets, Josh returned as the starter. Wilson will start as soon as the coaches feel he's ready no matter what Flacco does. Why didn't the Bills try to see what Barkley had for a possible trade? Because they knew his one great game meant nothing, just like the Jets know that about White, who they see every day at practice. By the way, when Barkley lit up the Jets in 2018 he was only 2 years older than White is today. The only QB the Jets are interested in developing is Zach Wilson. All Mike White is is a 1 hit wonder, no better than Barkley was in 2018 when the only QB the Bills were interested in developing was Josh Allen.

All Mike White is is a 1 hit wonder, no better than Barkley was in 2018 when the only QB the Bills were interested in developing was Josh Allen. I completely disagree with the Barkley take. He had his chances and had a bunch of starts under his belt. No one was mistaking him for a starter. When he beat the Jets it was a cute story. You can’t say the same for Mike White, he’s only played in 9 quarters of football and looked excellent in 5 of them. The other 4 were against the best D in all of football. I’m not saying there’s a qb controversy vs. him and Wilson. I’m saying given the situation you’re in (with Wilson being hurt) you see exactly what you have in White over playing Flacco. At least White playing answers questions for the future. Could he be a back-up? Trade bait? Flacco starting… why, for what? If beating the Dolphins is the goal, then Saleh’s as clueless as he’s being painted by the media. Beating the Dolphins with Joe Flacco does nothing toward building a “winning culture.” You build a winning culture with a very clear plan. You build a winning culture by putting your players in the best situations for them to succeed. He didn’t even have a veteran qb on the team up until a few weeks ago. This qb carousel they’re all currently on will do nothing to fix that. In fact, I’d be willing to bet it will only muddy the waters as it appears he’s just grasping at straws at this point. If he hasn’t lost the team, it certainly seems as if it’s only a matter of time until he does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
