    I hear you. I'm on board.

    I agree with all of you that have the win column argument when It comes to, Zach.

    I'm a NYJ fan. I will root for whoever they put out there.

    As long as they win, that truly Is all that matters.

    This team better win though because the leash Isn't even there at this point. It's time to nut up or shut up. If they can't get these wins and he's playing like dog shit.

    He likely won't be the QB next year.

    I still don't actually care who the QB Is as long as we are winning.

    So, I'm good with It, under those conditions.

    I'll be rooting hard for ZW this week, despite my obvious feelings in the matter.

    I don't want him to fail but I've seen enough to draw that conclusion.

    If I'm wrong. Fuck yeah! I'm good with it because that means we are heading to the playoffs.

    Let me be wrong. I'll take all the heat on this board If I'm wrong. Gladly. I can take It.

    I like how you are setting the stage for yourself to have outs In case Zach Wilson does fail tomorrow playing the QB position.

    Look at all the scenarios you are creating for It already within this post alone.

    Can't wait...

    If anyone here sounds like they’re rooting for him to fail it isn’t because they aren’t Jets fans, it’s because the posters supporting him have generally been massive assholes about it.

    Russian spies are very good at exploiting social media weaknesses. They turned our freedom of speech into a weapon to be used against us.

    There are answers to the overall dilemma that exploitation of social media poses but we're probably a generation and a lot of spilled blood away from agreeing on their necessity.

    The war with Russia is fought on a few different levels.

    Are we winning any of these battles? The sanctions don't seem to be working.

    Zach sucks. He will most likely shit the bed tomorrow. The Jets might win despite him.

    While true, I feel injury prone isn't really fair to White. Both those injuries were right on film, one his hand got smoked, and the other was a perfect hit to the wide open ribs that no quarterback on planet earth past present or future doesn't get folded in two from. I mean... it is what it is.

    Its not like he's wallowing around there pulling hamstrings after tanking a whole sack of McDonalds burgers or something.

    I don't feel like Zach is "injury prone" necessarily either and he's quite a few including where no other player was even near him and he just broke. In fact despite that I think Wilson for whatever other shortcomings so far has proven to me to be a lot tougher and more slippery than I was expecting.

    I'm not sure what the checkbook allows but as far as the good of the team I kind of hope the Jets are actually able to retain both guys. Assuming any forward progress by Zach I think we're going to need both of them in the future. The whole team thing.... plus they actually do seem to work pretty well together unless its all for PR purposes.

    So one asshole behavior to compensate for another asshole behavior sort of perspective. Never mind what’s best for the team. Got it. For the record not all supporting Zach behaved like assholes no more than all Zach critics behaved like dick heads.

    The way the team performs is totally independent of what people post here.

    What’s best for the team is for Zach and White to succeed

    It is tough to play QB in this league and it takes time. Just look at Q and he is Dt.

    The Vikings loss is not looking so good as they have been picked apart the last two weeks.

    Zach has growing to do but this love for MW is misplaced.

    What opinions have been off the deep end? Whatever.

    I think my opinions have been pretty objective. Zach has a long way to go MW is overrated.

    The Vikings and Bears defense are horrible and have been torched the last two weeks by the Lions and the Colts.

    Zach is a young QB that is going through growing pains.

    Please point ro my opinions that have been off the deep end.

    I give QBs three years.

    I don't think It Is. I see way more promise In Mike White. He has proven much more at the position as well. Not a chance I agree with that until It shows.

    Zach Wilson has been complete trash for 90% of his career. This Is the end of year 2. This Is usually when you know what you got at the position. Time Isn't on his side, his time Is now.

    Hopefully he makes the most of It.

    We barely lost to the Vikings.. We should've won.

    It Is what It is.

    Doesn't change anything.

    Season's over. White worst game this year 268 yards, if Zack can't get that vs the worst defense in the league hes toast. This is the easiest game for him in his career. If he can't prove himself in this game he is not cut out for the Nfl. Soon as you guys see Zack throw 3 consecutive 1 yard passes in the dirt you will be begging for Mike White back.

    What does the defense have to do with anything?

    You realize we put up 486yds on the Vikings, yeah? Mike White lead the charge....They had 287yds against us.. We clearly should've won that game.
    Lions - 464yds against the Vikings
    Colts - 341yds against the Vikings

    We put up 466yds against the Bears. Mike White lead that charge too...

    He did enough to win all of the games he's been the starting QB. We've won with Zach Wilson, despite, Zach Wilson.

    Big difference..

    ..but, hey, play like shit and still win. As long as we are winning, all will be good In the world. Zach better win though If he Is going to continue to be the worst QB statistically In all categories that matter.

    Again though, If he's winning, fuck It.
