Anyone still defending Zach over Sam?

For sure, the most recent time we had a QB that potential hires would see as a reason for taking the job, they hired Gase..

 

Betting my fanhood on it.

 

Who ? Not NC Jets Fan ?

 

What if we had taken Ja'mar Chase at #2 ? How good would Sam have looked THEN ?

And if he still was horrible...we'd KNOW it was the QB and have to move on.

 

But I don't think Douglas was in love with Zach. If you listened to him up to the draft, he was not that effusive when discussing Wilson.

The biggest reason I inferred from them taking Zach -- and I thought BOTH Saleh and Douglas were on the fence -- was that he would reset the salary cap and give them 3 do-over years on a rookie deal with Wilson.

 

That hire is still unbelievable to this day, as was letting Mac do the draft and then sacking him.

 

IF and I'd love to make that a bigger if but I can't.

 

Here's the OP from a thread from 2021 for anyone interested in the conversation right after the Jets let Darnold get away.

Here's another that included a poll (Wilson was NOT the favorite) which filled up in just over two months beginning the very end of 2020: Darnold, Fields, Wilson, Jones, Trask, Lance | TheGangGreen.com - New York Jets Message Board

If Sam makes the Super Bowl he will make history. There has never been a USC QB that has started the Super Bowl on either the winning or losing team. Carson Palmer came the closest. Making it to the NFL final losing to Cam Newton and Carolina.

 

I feel the whole Darnold/Wilson episode points out that the guys in charge of these decisions, the so called experts, the people who supposedly know more than we do, don’t know more than us. Therefore, our opinions on the media such as TGG are just as valid as theirs are.

Who'd have thought when we traded Sam that he could be the first QB from his draft class to win a SB? Not Allen, Lamar, or Baker...Sam. He's 28-6 over the last two years, with two teams, and a rating of 100.9. He's won more games each of the last two seasons than he did in 3 seasons with us (13-25).

 

That ship sailed by a few miles by now. Wilson had every gift except what matters the most (the one between his ears). Let it rest, dude.

 

I hated that we were moving on from, Darnold. It happened though. Oh, well. On to the next disappointment.
