    So I guess Wilson supporters are better human beings as a whole. Good for them. BTW Mike Maccagnan was “happy with” landing any one of 3 QBs. That’s not a philosophy I agree with when it comes to identifying your FQB in the draft.

    I've been saying for a while that the Jets need to take a TE in this draft. It's a big part of Shanahan's offense, we can't count on Herndon, Kroft is meh, Griffin should be cut, and Wesco is basically a blocking TE/Fullback. Freiermuth would be a great add. Hunter Long or Brevin Jordan would be good adds as well.

    Chris Simms doesn't read and post here. You aren't accomplishing your purpose by posting it here. You're just insulting those who prefer Wilson or don't care who the QB is. No one is taking it personally. That's an asinine take. If you want to act like an ass, go right ahead. It's no skin off my nose. You're just belittling yourself.

    Here we go with the extremes. You're the one who is sensitive and defensive. If you're truly bothered by Chris Simms comments weeks later, maybe you should consider that you are the one with the problem, not others. If some don't care, that's their right. Not everyone follows the draft as strongly as you, ColoradoContrails, BigCat, Mogriff, I and a few others. Those who follow the draft and want Wilson isn't just because of Chris Simms, he merely affirmed what we saw and liked about Wilson.

    That's because of your negative, sensitive, defensive perspective. Get a grip.

    Why would he go with value at OG when we just ruined Sam because we had a shit OL, and we have mediocre OGs at the present. That would be dumb. You don't think JD will do that. That's what YOU want and what YOU would do. Thank God you're not the GM!

    He is. He's a mismatch against DBs due to size, and against LBs because of speed. He is a very good blocker and receiver. He's not in Pitts' class, but then there have been very few who even approached Pitts' level of talent/ability.

    This board is going to be interesting if they do draft Zach and he struggles. 24 hour shield walls.

    I get your argument but please no first round TE's when there are so many positions they need.

    Which I don't get. you can prefer one player but still see another as a good option. Like I like fields, wouldn't be unhappy with him, but wilson just looks better on film

    Yes, it's not just Chris Simms. PFF have Zach Wilson ahead of Justin Fields and apparently many NFL teams too. Is it worth something? No. The end the results will be on the field.

    Well to be fair you could say the same thing for any QB we draft.

  15. The line has been drawn in the sand.

    No one should be silenced.No one should remain complacent.Its a massive massive decision. If theres a team related debate to dig heels in...its this one.

    I will simply take a hiatus from the board until Wilson starts playing well.

    He improved the o-line. It wasn't great last season, but it was decent. Darnold was terrible with or without good protection last season.

    Like Darnold before him the haters will ultimately become his defenders and visa versa.
