Thanks for posting BudJet but before him it was me who said it. Lol. Just kidding https://forums.theganggreen.com/threads/zach-made-me-a-believer.96788/
Since returning from the knee injury Zach is: 102/182 for 1079 yards. 4 TDs passing 4 TDs rushing and only 2 INTs. Take into account all of the drops and all of the injuries. Not too bad ….
If you're being real, the next step is continued improvement and not scattered minutely throughout a season. I don't think 9 wins is too much to ask.
my real issue is that amounts to 56% completion rate and 5.9 yards per attempt. That is Sanchez territory. Not good. 1079 yards over 6 games amounts to 179.8 yards per game, also a terrible stat. so the stats scream crap QB play … in today’s NFL that’s what it is. there are reasons/excuses…primarily the state of the weapons at his disposal….playing with really 3,4 and 5 WRs….really only Berrios worth a damn. the eye test is a bit better than the stats…especially yesterday’s game against the Bucs. I’m not sold yet…he’s played pretty terribly…but I do see some rays of hope. but all this talk of how much better he’s been since he’s returned is not really supported by the objective stats, outside of the clear reduction in picks, which is huge. But it’s also a sign of dialing back…his per game yardage totals and his completion rate have not noticeably improved as compared to before the injury….he’s just throwing fewer picks, which is great. I though yesterday was a very good game for him…the throws were solid, into tight windows, he was decisive, all good things, that should he continue, will hopefully result in better stats and more importantly, wins, as the team around him improves and he gets a better OL and weapons around him. there’s hope. I’m not sold, but I do feel better today than I did a couple of weeks ago.
Don't talk like that, you'll get called a Darnold lovin Zach hater and branded with permanent fart juices
C'mon guy. He's a ROOKIE!!! You can't judge a rookie QB the same way you would a veteran (well, you can, but you shouldn't). The expectations on this forum are over the top ridiculous. Just because Justin Herbert had an amazing rookie season doesn't mean that every rookie QB is supposed to or is going to play great from the get-go. The Jets are running the ball more since he came back, and LaFleur has stopped being as aggressive with taking shots down the field. It was ridiculous of LaFleur and showed his inexperience to have Zach try to play the way he did at the beginning of the season. Zach was not ready to do that as he was still adjusting to the NFL and learning the offense. Look at the Jets' situation with all the holes, how poorly the OL played to start the year, the horrible job LaFleur did initially, all the awful play by the D and the rest of the offense who didn't know their responsibilities, all the dropped passes, all the blown assignments, all the injuries and covid absences, and Zach getting injured. Those aren't "excuses." Those are facts and valid reasons for any QB, much less a rookie, to struggle the way Zach did.
The only QBs with higher PFF grades than Zach Wilson over the last three weeks go by the names Herbert, Burrow, Mahomes, Rodgers, Brady, Allen, and Prescott. Pretty, pretty good.
