alarming stats: White hit 10 different receivers in the 1st half while Zack can't even hit 1 White has more yards in the 1st half in heavy rain than Zack had in the last 2 games combined. Justin Fields is on the sideline not dressed high fiving his teamates after every play and cheering them on while Zack Wilson is standing there like a Statue. Trade this kid 1st chance you get he is not a leader or a Nfl player.
We found our Kurt Warner. Jets are SB contenders with Mike f#*$@!% White. He's elite. Scans the field and gets rid of it quick. All of you who downplayed him after Buff last year should've given him a break. Possibly he wasn't right with a nerve injury on his throwing arm and playing against a top 5 pass defense
No one should be happy to be benched, but only an entitled little pissbaby would sit there like ZW is. A winner would be engaging with the QBs and his teammates.
Who could have guessed that playing the best quarterback on the roster would make the offense perform better (even in terrible weather behind a patchwork offensive line)?
Zach Wilson is just an after-thought now. White played better today than Wilson has in any of his 7 games this year. I don't see any reason to bring Wilson back. If im Saleh, I would tell White he is the QB for the team now, case closed. Play him the rest of the year.
Okay, I’m enjoying this as much as the next guy, but pump the breaks a little. That’s not the monsters of the midway on the other sideline today.
It is very unfortunate that we didnt put White in last game. Would be a near lock for the playoffs after today with a 3 game lead over the Pats. Instead we have a 1 game lead and will be in a race down the stretch.
Yes, it's the offensive coordinator's responsibility to run offensive plays tailored to his available personnel. I've seen nothing out of MLF that suggests he does this. Can he win when he has personnel that fits his preferred style of offense? Sure, probably. But that doesn't mean he's good.
That was the whole point in them drafting Wilson. SF was also highly interested (as least reported as such) in Wilson as well. Which indicates to me Wilson was the right fit for the system. This is a system offense and always was going to be. Zach is the odd man out.
Kinda begs the question, if White is really this much better than Zach, why wasnt it apparent enough in practice to get him the job. Yeah, I get that early in the season we were vested in Zach, but once it was obvious we are a legit playoff contender what was the thinking in benching the better player ?????
First of all, because of the terrible weather, it's almost impossible to evaluate. Second, you're playing against a bad defense; it's not like this is the 85 Bears. We cannot do what we did today against a defensive team like the Bills or the Patriots. That said, I'm delighted that once we were up three scores, all we did was run behind Brown off-tackle - I don't know who made that decision, but it was the smart one.
Well Zach was 5-1 prior to the Pats loss. The risk is if you put White in, and it doesn't workout, you would look foolish for benching a QB that was 5-1. The Pats game opened the window to bench Zach and have justification for doing it.
Maybe true, maybe not - I have no idea (about SF). All I know is I haven't seen anything out of Wilson that suggests this is the type of offense he would flourish in. He has terrible accuracy on short passes (compared to his peers) and the only thing he does well is throw deep to the sidelines (which isn't featured at all in this style of offense). Now some of this is likely because his fundamentals are f-ing terrible (but that falls back on the coaching staff, imo).
