Dobbs or Wentz would have won games for them, it's crazy
Anything more than stapling your nuts to your leg and thanking Streamline for making antibacterial staples would have had them in contention for the division lead. But somebody who is a player personnel decision maker is this big of a masochist on that staff or that bad of a decision maker to think they could make work at QB what they have tried.
Oddly specific but hilarious
Dobbs yes. Dalton or Winston yes. Lots of other nfl backups yes. But Wentz is a bum.
Hell even just keeping Mike White there would've been a hell of a lot better than what they've done.
Mike White was basically as good as Zach people just like him cause he replaced Zach last year but he also sucked.
He was not great the games after getting his ribs smashed but when he was healthy he was pretty good
lmao he is 2-5 as the Jets starting QB, across 8 games for them, he amassed numbers of 62 completion%, 2100 passing yards, 8 TDs and 12 INTs; he was also injury prone af and could barely handle playing 3-4 games in a row without an injury.
he had two outlier games against the bears (worst defense in the league at the time) and bengals (that was largely YAC) that boost his numbers (account for 33% of his passing yardage, 75% of his TD passes and 16% of his INTs...). he played one game post ribs injury and it was barely different from how he looked when he ultimately got benched in 2021 against buffalo.
the bar was so so low, this guy was not good lmao jets fans were just so happy that they actually had a qb that could complete a forward pass consistently that they pretended he was.
Idk I saw Mike white get like 40 points on the bears last year, Zach has never done that
Mike White signed to be a backup in Miami, closer to where he grew up.
Going into the season there was serious concerns around Tua, so it also seemed like he would have a better job getting starter minutes.
i can't believe this sub is still sticking with the narrative that a dobbs, wentz, winston, or dalton would have made the jets better lmao they probably win the patriots game and nothing else changes.
so sorry, maybe two more wins and i'm being generous saying they could have won yesterday.
the jets qbs are bad, but all the above is true as well and swapping in another backup-level player isn't going to magically fix these things. this sub continues to pretend though that other backups would navigate through all this and lead the jets to the playoffs and i can't understand it as someone who watches how bad they're failing at every aspect offensively. only aaron rodgers would make a meaningful impact because he would ignore the OC 95% of the time.
How many of those blowouts became blowouts because the offense couldn't do anything, leading to the defense getting worn out? Marginally better QB play wouldn't turn them into a 10-1 squad but it would give them a fighting chance in at least some of those contests.
You’re right, why bother trying eh? It was already into the first game, might as well wait till next year.
like i mentioned elsewhere, lost 3 after game 1 and then won 3 in a row and were 4-3 at the deadline. there were moves to be made at the deadline, but a qb upgrade was not; zach wilson was not holding this team back like he was last year. qb is barely a top 3 issue with the offense right now, i'm telling you it doesn't matter what backup qb you have in there.
Tbh yeah, the fans hate it but if the Jets want to make the most out of Rodgers next year they have to tank this year. They're just in a really bad qb situation where they spent a lot of money and draft picks to get a maybe good QB for 2-3 years, and then they lost one of those years
Dalton!
You made my day. Everything around Rodgers is always a circus. But suggesting the Red Rifle is the answer may just take the cake.
Dobbs has two career wins outside of Minnesota and Wentz had comparable stats to Wilson last year
Yeah, people got blinders on because he's come into Minnesota and won some games, but we have a MUCH stronger offense than the Jets do. Dobbs ain't doing shit on that Jets team.
The conversation needs to be is rodgers really going to take that team anywhere then? He is amazing, but if the rest of that offense is that bad idk if they have a chance
IF they stay fully healthy, and IF they shore up the offensive line and maybe get a true WR2 in the offseason, and IF Rodgers comes back 100% no steps back...maybe. It's not like parts aren't there for them to be a contender, I just think that even with a fully healthy Rodgers right now, they aren't good enough.
I think the ghost of Matt Ryan would have been better than Boyle
idk what this subs fascination with Wentz is all about, he would not be better than what the Jets are doing. There’s a reason it look so long for a team to sign him.
Zach has played like dogshit but Wentz would suck just as much.
