So..Tim Tebow shouldn’t try this because he might take a spot from a young guy?
Ok, maybe it’s just me..but if you’re a young guy who cant beat out someone who hasnt played in the NFL for 9 years and has NEVER played TE before? Maybe you dont have a long NFL career in your future

Jets fans shouldn’t dwell on the QB sneak…
The way Zach Wilson played today without his starting center, with a 3rd string LT, without his top 2 WRs, his top 3 TEs and his top 2 RBs for most of the game has a MUCH bigger bearing on the future of the Jets than 1 bad play

Of all Jets analysis, the most baffling question I hear is when someone asks if Sam Darnold really “the guy”?
The Jets have lots of issues, but QB is the LEAST of their problems..
Their goal now is to build around him..
If you watch him and cant see the talent, I can’t help you

The apparent polarization on Mekhi Becton among Jets fans puzzles me.
The injury wasn’t his fault..and maybe there’s a learning curve for that big a man getting back to NFL shape?

Do the Jets have a QB controversy??
I’ll say this:
You dont make 10 year decisions off 1 game or even a handful of games
But you also dont bench QBs throwing for 400 yards and winning
So while I believe Zach Wilson is the future, why not see where Mike White takes you for now?

So the Jets have lost the last 3 games, vs a team many picked to go to the Super Bowl, and on the road vs the teams that have won 4 of the last 5 Super Bowls..
And have mostly played their 3rd string QB..
But the problem is the coaching isn’t imaginative enough...

Additional perspective on Jets trade
They’re now in line to turn 2 2nd rd picks and Sheldon Richardson (who they were never resigning anyway) into Jermaine Kearse AND a potential franchise QB..

I know there are no moral victories ..but it’s easy to see Zach Wilson, and most of the younger Jets for that matter, have made a lot of progress in the past month..the idea of this season was to see the arrow pointing up as the season went on..and it looks to me like it is

Sam Darnold had a famously terrible game vs Pats..he got over it..
Zach Wilson’s a rookie, now he’s going through it.

I believe the same about Zach

Outside of the Jets famous playoff victory at New England, that was most unlikely win we’ve called in our 20 years as a radio team!

For Jets fans...here’s a fun activity..
Screenshot the “QB lists” from the “experts” from the last few months..

Save the lists..you’ll have the last laugh..trust me

Hard to believe the Jets fans who responded to me saying they don’t like the Enunwa deal...I get he’s been hurt..but at $9 million per year, he’s probably about the 30-35th highest paid WR..so when healthy that’s very fair value..
Also, he’s as good a guy as you’ll ever meet..

Sam Darnold can be really good…which is what I thought would happen all along…
Zach Wilson can be really good…which is what I think will happen as well…
Both things can be true…

Ok look..Zach Wilson..Im hearing he’s either on his way to Canton..or nothing he’s done counts because it’s all vs backups..
As always..the truth is in the middle..
He looks great..and he’s got a huge future!
He’s also a rookie..and he’ll make mistakes.
Both things can be true

Hard to overstate how much the Jets needed that and how much the fans deserved it!
2015 was last time we heard the stadium sound like that..been WAY too long

I’ve been inundated with negative Jets fans..so some thoughts.
First, season isn’t over yet..let it play out
Next, I’m in the minority, but I believe in Sam Darnold..DNA of a top notch QB is there
So however this season goes, I think the Jets are ok at QB..and that’s a good thing

I’m a dying breed..I have 5 kids and a bald spot..so I’m painfully aware..

So to all those at the Daily News, my thoughts are with you today
20
33
703
Jets have rotated 7 OTs (8 if you count Becton, who was projected to start)…which is insane
They lost arguably their 2 best offensive players
They’ve played 3 different QBs
And they’re playing big games in December
No matter what happens, this season has been a step forward

Someone needs to explain to me what the Dolphins think they are..
They’re tanking for Tua, but they traded for Rosen, but they’re starting Fitzpatrick and are trading their LT for Clowney??!
So..are they tanking? Rebuilding? Looking for a QB? Or do they have one? What are they??

If you would’ve told me what the Jets injury situation would’ve been before the season, I’d have guessed 4 wins..and I certainly didnt think they’d win more than 4 after a 1-7 start..
To win 7 is hopefully something to build on..
Thanks to so many of you who listened all year..

I just hope he’s happy..
And I hope he becomes a really good QB..
That’s about it..
58

If Jets end up signing Bridgewater, what exactly is the downside? By QB standards he won’t cost much...he’ll be highly motivated to resurrect his career..and it does nothing to inhibit them drafting a young QB

If you’re going to have a meaningful season, you have to win a game like that, and the Jets found a way..
Behind a patchwork OL, after a terrible 3rd qtr on offense, 2 TDs in the 4th on the road? Big time, especially for a team this young.
Who knows what this season becomes now??
12

566
Once again...I’ll reiterate as the draft approaches for the Jets...
If Joe Douglas’ phone rings with a trade offer, there’s 1 player where he simply hangs up the phone...his name is Sam Darnold.
Anyone else on the roster? You listen...that’s his job..
47

536
I’m not telling Jets fans to be happy with L’s..you’re tired of it..I get it.
But if you want positives, for the 2nd time in 3 weeks, QB played a good 1st half.
And they played a competitive road game vs a team that had won 5 straight and had a ton to play for..
It’s something.

Regarding Jamal Adams and the Jets..both sides are doing their jobs.

There are times in the NFL where you have to grind out a win..and as decimated as the Jets roster is, it’s hard for them to win any other way..
