Preach Because this front office is clueless. If they miss the playoffs again because JD was more worried about Zach feelings then winning he has to go.

[spidyhire]

Anyone defending Zach has to remember that everyone else who played qb since he showed up has performed. Josh Johnson, Joe Flacco, Mike White, and even Streveler have moved this offense in ways Zach can't come close to

[haroon]

Zach said no big deal it’s only 3 games, the season just started. Listening to him, doesn’t seem like he wants it bad enough.

[BrunoJaws]

Bart wants Zach to win more than anyone.

[bb]

I wanted him to work but he hasn't. That's it

[darinweaver]

Yes, it’s been three years and he has not shown any progress. He’s about the same as when he first started at some point you just gotta move on.

[davidjarvi]

bart scott is talking about 3 plays. These guys NEVER talk specifics - only vague feelings

[thealternativefactor]

RB Breece Hall "Liked" a video-tweet that is captioned with: "What in the world happened to Zach Wilson?"
Zach's trigger clock is just too slow and locks on to 1st read. He had same problem at BYU.

[billsu]

Wonder what other QBs could have the same critique

[draneym]

You're talking about the standard is the standard...your entire franchise's history must be a practical joke of some kind. You're sure as hell not the Steelers. Go draft another QB, watch him run for his life, draft another, and continue the cycle.

[silentk]

No there not there was 8 dropped passes I. The hands of recievers

[seanfrank]

To be fair, if Thibodaux is in "year 1 and a half" then Zach is in year 2 and a half. lol

[froofycat]

This game prediction is EASY to make. Simple, If the D doesn't put us in a 10 point hole before the half we win. That simple. Full Stop.

But if you want, some scenarios to chew on ...

if we start with the ball and score 7, as long as the Chiefs don't get to a 17-7 lead before half, we win. 10-7 lead for them we win. Even 14-7 before the half - we win. Because if it gets to that 10 point KC lead before half, whether it's 13-3 or 10-0 or 23-13, or 14-4 (yes that one is possible), whatever variant, the crowd will lose us the game by crucifying Zach.

From personal experience in the last two weeks with Jets fans and Jet's content creators... well, they are a sample of the people in the stands... So I know what they'll do because it's what fans and content creators did to me. Pure dismissal and hate. But it'll be multiplied by 10 thousand. And not a single person I've met, at the stadium, in the content creator's streams, could possibly deal with that. And neither will this team.

He won't give up. The kid is a frickin weeble. He might get it close, like last week, even do what it takes to win it like last week, but someone else will fail. Someone will drop a TD pass, or tip it to a defender for a pick six, or a fumble at the goal line. And that fumble won't be Zach nor will the INT be his fault if it happens.

Worse case the crowd starts throwing bottles and won't leave no matter how far we go down so they can keep heaping on the hate. That's kinda fun right? I'm asking you all because all the toxic Jet fans and content creators I've been attacked by know how much fun it was hating on me. Hate can be really fun for the wrong kind of people. And if for some reason like Saleh did last year, he puts in a new QB and there might be some initial success, and the crowd will cheer. But, no QB we have can do what Wilson can and we will lose by a bigger margin then when they took Zach out.

If that happens, good for Zach, because when you everyone heaped the hate on me for supporting him, I started out, first really confused by the hate, then really depressed because of it, but as they kept it up I got downright angry. He'll react like I did. At first he got really confused by the hate. Then really depressed. And this time he'll just get angry enough to hopefully get out of town as soon as he can and leave the kind of people who have treated him so poorly.

At that point I hope he asks for a trade and gets it, and every hate filled person I ran into in the stadiums, and online, all get whatever QB they have wanted, and then Zach wins where he goes, with the team that will become MY team. Because I'll be done with a team that drafted a racehorse, because they loved his combines. Told him to be a game manger, but didn't coach him on how to do it. Let the media and locker room and fans run the asylum. And if this kid wasn't as strong as he is mentally, he would have broken. He would have simply asked to be taken out, and just sit on the bench, talk to nobody, and leave with so many millions in his pocket when his contract runs out. But this kid has character, and not fear. What you all read as fear is quiet confidence. Not the same as when he came here, but because of Rogers, quieter confidence.

The miracle, would be if the crowd came out cheering for Zach, giving him a standing O as if he was Aaron Rogers, and they keep it up for at least 2 full possessions before turning on him like rabid dogs. That would be a guaranteed win. But since we know they aren't capable of that kind of support, because the people who have been so hateful to me for the last two weeks are the sample for them, and they aren't capable of it -- that guaranteed win is a dream.

Lol 100% Not playing well enough for the USFL or the league.

[TheHighlanderprime]

Bart, Zach’s been the only one held accountable; he’s been destroyed by Jets fandom and all the armchair pundits; the only ones who noticed the whole picture are the ones seeing the other reasons besides ZW alone why the offense and coaching have failed the young QB as well.
BTW, 3rd year, but only 25 games of NFL play; that’s not even 2 full seasons … Compare that to Trevor Lawrence who has played 37 games for the full continuous 2.2 seasons of NFL plays with a team that allowed him to play NFL football and work through his mistakes.

[wireland]

Bart he is on the run all the time . They need to fix the offensive line no protection

[petecarr]

I don't care what quarterback you put behind that OL they're not going to play well period End of story. Bart just rattled off a few quarterbacks that he says succeeded here, I almost fell off my chair listening to that nonsense. That's not only not true it's one of the stupidest things I've heard so far.
