Fair. I think the Jets gave up him WAY TOO FAST -- as did the team -- but to this point he hasn't shown a lot worth committing to.
I'll say this though. The last Jets games I've sat down and watched were against the Jaguars and to a degree the Seahawks.
The biggest problem I saw with Zach in that Jags game was a total lack of confidence that manifested itself in him clearly trying too hard not to fukk up.
Of course, he has erratic accuracy/mechanics and questionable decision-making under duress. You can coach a good bit of this out of him, but that Jags game was terrible. EVERY passing play Zach was asked to run felt like a long-developing play where it felt like no one got open or pressure got him off his spots. Why would you do that when you have no run game to speak of, you know your OL is overmatched, and your QB struggles when he is forced to create?
I also noticed that Mike White and even that Streveler cat got plays and scripts more tailored to what they do best. You're supposed to do that with QBs but you can't bemoan a guy's inability to hit the easy stuff if the script you have him in isn't loaded with said stuff. Considering the Jets are trying to be Niners East, this requires a dominant rushing attack (which doesn't exist without Breece) and a West Coast/timing passer that can distribute to weapons who create after the catch (and I do not believe Zach is a West Coast style of QB).
TL;DR - Zach seems best suited for a team with great coaching and a top-tier run game/moving pocket that sets him up to punish defenses downfield off of playaction, bootlegs and/or the occasional QB keeper.
I noticed this when you guys played us (Lions). Wilson put up some yards but the offense failed to score for most of the game. Lots of boring or straight forward play calling.
End of the day the Jets have to try to fix Wilson. I think he's finished but you gotta get a new OC and try something. Unless of course the Jets are gonna try to go get someone like Carr.
fukk carr. Hes a sucka.
I don’t have a problem with Zach’s decision making. Especially after watching Kurt Warner go over the jet schemes. Play after play he kept showing how the routes didn’t give quarterbacks any opportunities because the routes were drawn up so poorly.
A lot of his pics came out of desperation. The game that did it for me was the patriots game when Mike LaFleur expected Wilson to read the intermediate spacing of the patriots safeties. You don’t put that on a second year quarterback versus a Belichick defense. You don’t do that looking at what Belichek has done to young quarterbacks, Yet that is what Mike LaFleur’s offense expected of him that game. Asking a qb with 17 NFL starts expected to Read beli’s safeties…..the best coach in NFL history as disguising his safeties.

The second half was worse because when Zack was picking up yards scrambling when those routes weren’t available, the patriots put a spy on him and he got sacked four times in the second half. The best throw Zac made was an RPO that Mims dropped. Mike LaFleur did not call another one for the rest of the game.
And the next week he was benched.
Hot garbage.
This is why I don’t argue a lot of times in here about football. A lot of the bad decision making people speak on comes down to poor schemes. And we dont have play design or scheme debates in the Coli. Everyone is on some novice end result thing in here.
