This reminds me of Valentine's night when my wife walks into the bedroom wearing some sort of lace contraption and I know it's my job to do something but I still wish Zach would miraculously show up and step in for me

Actually, both JD and Saleh wanted to sign Carr but were overruled by Johnson who wanted Rodgers. If the Rodgers signing blows up in their faces, then that is on Johnson. JD messed up by not bringing in a decent backup QB. Nobody expected Rodgers to be out for the year but at 40 behind that OL the chances of him getting hurt were pretty good. They should have known that Zach isn't the answer at this point. It cost them the season.

Interesting.   It may be on Johnson, but he cant fire himself.   Agree completely on Douglas not doing a good enough job bringing in a good backup.

This is a bad look for Zach. His career with them is over but he needs to play as it is an audition for other teams around the league. Maybe he can get a fresh start somewhere else. Acting like a baby/spoiled brat won't help his career going forward.

I think those other teams have seen quite enough of his audition. That said, he probably needs a change of scenery.

Honestly can you blame him?  He wasn't playing even average by any stretch of the imagination, but he definitely was far better than those other 2 bozo's they had in there.

 

Hackett has ran 2 of the most inept offenses in the NFL 2 years straight...

By the Jets this year.  Unless he is injured or has medical diagnosis of mental illness he needs to play when team wants to use him.

it would make for must see tv for sure can you imagine they trot him out there and he is in shotgun and just throws a pick 6 on purpose? 😂

Take a look around the league at the backup QBs.  There isn't much quality there.  If your QB goes down for any extended length of time, the season is over.  Any team that is paying franchise QB money can't afford a "good backup".  How many games do you think the Bills win with Kyle Allen?  https://www.ourlads.com/nfldepthcharts/depthchartpos/QB

How is his defense in the final two minutes of games ? ... Asking for a friend.

Never tested because the other team is in victory formation, or the offense is on the field trying to catch up.

It's possibly a no-win situation for him.  His career as a Jet w/ the current regime is over & most likely regardless of the coaching staff next year.  He's not going to look good if he plays & the more bad tape there is of him, the lower his perceived value.  If I were him, looking for future prospects, I'd wanna sit, too.

I would not want to play behind that O Line either.   Get yourself killed.   

 

He needs to do a Baker Mayfield and go somewhere, anywhere else.

Carolina might be a good fit - lot of questions on Bryce.

Usually I'd support the team on this one, but they've benched him three times in three years.    Its not a good look for him not to step up in this situation, but he is playing for a coach and GM who are 15-31 and seem to skirt a lot of blame.      Someone on WGR said no team will touch him after this.  I disagree Marcus Mariota left a team without notice last year and still has a job this year.      The best part of the entire situation is to get rid of the kid the Jets have to eat 6-11 million dollars in salary. 

Mariota also threw a TD pass to himself in the playoffs.

So are we now going to get a press conference with a teary eyed Zach Wilson with a black eye talking about how much he really wants to play this week.

An irate husband caught Zach with his missus? 🤔

There isn’t much quality at starting QB in the league, let alone backups.

I dont think its a bad look for him.  More so a bad look for the staff.  It was pretty obvious Wilson was the best QB on their roster no matter how bad he is.

Agree. Whatever you think of the kid, he came in week one against us and made several plays on third down that ultimately led to a win. 
 

Can’t fault him for what’s being reported. They’ve turned their back on him and tossed him in the trash multiple times. The outcome of that is their own doing.

I am loving the train wreck of a team the Jets are this year!  Comically inept in many ways.

 

With Rogers calling the shots they are also likely stuck with Hackett for next year and some of the players Rogers gave big contracts to.

 

I love that Rogers is calling the shots for a competitor of the Bills, the same man who believed Jake Kumerow was an excellent receiver.  This year has been fun to watch, but wait until next year.

With Rodger’s out, Hackett has to actually try to be the offensive coordinator, it’s not going too well…

If they ended up letting this loser play the offensive line would purposely turn into a giant turnstile… would be fun to watch.

Well how would that be any different for that O line?

 

The thing is, no one knows how good Zach Wilson would be, playing with a good O line, a good OC, and better receivers.  Some QBs in his situation would do better than he has, but they're bigger and stronger and better capable of compensating for a bad O line.  I do not think his career is over, not with the NFL so desperate for QBs.  Someone will give him another chance, and if he's lucky that situation will enable us to see what he's actually capable of.

Fiscally sound reasoning.  Here, good sir, take my $5k, and invest it in a sure NFL 'investment'. 😁
