Sure. We're giving it to Mike. Tell him. Okay. Yeah. Using he
played great most first half past yards, 235 by a Jets
quarterback since Chad Pennington. Whoa. In 2006,
people are saying that
during the game there like man, this is as good as Chad
Pennington at your house.
First Jets quarterback since kennel Bryant with multiple
games of 300 or more passing yards and three touchdowns
people are saying that to.
That's guys like can O'Brien out there.
Don't laugh again. O'Brien is a hell of a. YouTube was good
right back. In the day. So is Chad Pennington. How Carrie?
Yeah, they were good. I'm Lions fans. Giggling at the Jets over
here,
so he was good, and I'm sure
I didn't I didn't dare go in there.
You've been a staunch supporter of Zach, Wilson sure, you know.
It's, yeah, it's been tough defense has that they played,
which is true. It's an offense that hasn't really clicked, and
it is not a whole lot of talent around it, which is very true.
But my quite went in there against a Bears defense
and looked really good. Yeah, made all the throws and made
the plays. Maybe it wasn't a greatest defense out there but
he made the Is out there
and jets fans are loving it. Right now,
you're honest, and fair assessment of what you saw from
my quite on Sunday. Well, he played really well. There's no
like,
you know, I'm not,
there's nothing you can say negatively,
he did a great job,
you know, the offense did have flow, he is have a natural feel
for the game and do I look at that and go? Yes, that's
something that he has over. Zach Wilson, certainly, you
know, Zach Wilson.
I think is a little too into,
you know, how the throw. Oh, looks and stuff like that.
Maybe at times and I think Robert solid reference that
but, you know, white. Yeah. Was in control of the offense.
I thought for the rainy day,
controlled the football really well,
and did a lot of good things. So like all that again, I have
nothing negative to say, my negativity about this situation
is the situation itself and how
the Jets handled it, that would be the thing that I worry about.
And I don't agree with Decision to been Jack Wilson, not at all
and I would sit here and probably tell you that
but I think it's
there's a good chance that
you know we just talked about Aaron Rodgers maybe not
I wouldn't be shocked. If Zach Wilson said see you later
took the jet so weird it just doesn't work out
I would not be shocked if
if I'm Zach Wilson I would be thinking at the end of the year
going.
Yeah maybe I'll just go somewhere else or you guys get
rid of me. It's all good and that I think that's fair and
here's my
my two cents behind this.
Again. Alright, so this is I don't even know how I want to
really orchestrate this, but I think this is where I'm going
to go.
Do I think Zach Wilson could have played that well
yesterday? No, I don't. I agree with that. I'd still think
Zach. Wilson's, top end potential is greater than Mike
whites.
I still think that
that was a game. Where if Zach Wilson played,
they would have one 9:32 instead of thirty one to ten.
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, maybe his stats. Like wouldn't been
300-plus yards and all that probably would have.
A few more eye-popping passes. Where you know. Whoa, whoa,
whoa, that was right so I understand that. But but to me,
here's my big point of the whole thing,
you've gotten five and two with Zach Wilson, who had to play
the seven, craziest offenses in football,
and he battled through it, and he went five and two and I know
it wasn't all pretty. I understand that he's still
a young quarterback, you obviously believed in him to
draft him at number two,
he didn't do training camp as we talked about. He missed
the first few games of the year you should Have been all 13 without
him.
We know the Browns stood up and gave you a nice little win.
Okay, so now you go five and two with him and yeah, he's
learning the game. He hasn't been perfect.
This is the game. You let him play to gain more confidence.
The Bears defense stinks as of late. There's think they've
given up on the year.
So an not only do they stink. They were missing their three
best players yesterday.
I mean, so that's where I go. This is a game where you stick
with your franchise quarterback and let them
now. Hey, whoa, wait look at the throws and plays and we got
the offense back on track. It would have been a Get Right
game most likely for Zach Wells. That's, that's what I'm
saying. I mean, why wouldn't have been?
I mean again, this is where I do people got will most likely
or might have been either. The mean, the guy that beat
the bills and the Packers and all these like. Now, all of
a sudden, well, most likely he would have beat the Bears.
Like, that's where I just like, I get annoyed.
I'd with that a little bit and I don't agree with it for
the future of the Jets organization organization. And I hear people
say,
well maybe they made this decision for now, right? They
had to do what was best for now. They would have won this
game if we
if we put a lot of people at quarterback yesterday,
they're in a different class than the Bears right now
and especially without Justin Fields.
So that's where I don't like the decision but I don't want
that to take away 4 from my quite and what he did
and that's great.
But I am interested
and where this With the Jetson Zach Wilson, because I think
they have this is they've messed this situation up now
and they let the fan base in my opinion in the New York media
kind of control them here and the situation. So, here's
a question from Derby. Oh, Bob Turk, kind of along those lines
because damn. Okay. Jets offense, the contrast between
the ineffectiveness of the Wilson LED offense in the way
the offense hummed with white at quarterback was obvious. Now
given the performance
and the reported preference for him in the locker room. Do you
think we will see a switch back at quarterback know any time?
No. And what are they gonna do? Let my quite
Now you gonna play them now. He's gonna play the crappy.
Minnesota Viking defense. This week who can't defend the pass
and put up. Good more, good stats and then we're all going
to look at it and go. Well you were going to bring back Zack
Wilson,
like please we get b******* but we get out of here with that.
There's no way that's going to happen right now.
There's no way. Now here's what I want to say like hey he did
great. He did he ran the offense, he did all the offense
looks easy. When you can run the ball at any time you want,
and you're protected and
hey we got the ball back there. They're off the fields. Again,
we're staying in. Rhythm. I mean, everything played in
favor
of my quite in this game,
Zach Wilson hasn't had
the opportunities and got to play the teams
to benefit from that, so that's where I just don't like it but
I've got I don't want to take away from Mike why I'm not
trying to be a hater on my quite at all he played well he
played well and Mike White has some things about his game
where I
look at him and go
he could be a starter in the league in a lot of ways.
You know? And he's passing chart right here. I didn't
throw the ball that far down the field as ever the depth of
charge. Target was five point, eight yards down the field. The
third lowest of any quarterback this week, but this is what
I'll say to. Yeah. And we've talked about this before,
right? A high draft pick. Yeah. You get the benefit of
the doubt. Yeah. And you get
a little more run, right? Then maybe even you showed you
a longer leash, right?
And so Zach Wilson does have the benefit of that. Yeah,
here's my quite 27 year old spent a couple years in South
Florida. Three years at Western Kentucky was drafted in
the fifth round. He's getting some run now
and no, he didn't have to face those tough defense. Yes. Exact
Wilson, right? Had to face but he also, Have the opportunity
yeah. To play against those maybe impress. Yeah and so
this is his chance, right? And not a whole lot of fifth round.
Picks 27 year old quarterbacks, get that chance. So I think
a lot of jets fans out there like this is his chance.
He's earned it. He deserves it. Zack Wilson hasn't blown
the doors off with anything. And so let's
let's see. Let's ride them until he messes up. Sure. It
looks like Zach Wilson right there and so I think there's
a part of me that's happy to see a fifth round guy, get his oh
I hear you there. I mean it's a guy that seems like he's done
everything right? And he's a good dude,
I I've been around him a little bit. I mean
it's he's a guy that I'm sure the locker room likes,
you know. And and I understand that. Now what I will say to
our question here,
right? The one thing that probably concerns me more than
anything is. Yeah, you could see that like Elijah more and
Garrett Wilson. Were happy to have my quite in the field that
makes me believe that there is
some sort of friction or something. Maybe they're
we're like Zack is not connected with the maybe right,
which, which is part of the job. Yeah. And you always NFL
quarterback hundred percent. Those are your weapons. You
can't you can't discard those guys and bigger guys you get
along with better. It's like it's your job, right? Yeah. Am
I
wrong there your it's your job to get along with the it
definitely is. Yeah. You don't have to be best buddies but
yeah you want to have some sort of camaraderie and connection
there for sure.
And that seems off a little bit. It does. I'd so that were,
you know, again I don't know. All the answers that I,
you know, have known and talked to a lot of people within
the Jets organization over the last year, I've never heard them.
Say, the people team doesn't. In love. Zach Wilson. I mean
that's where I would just be surprised but
maybe when it comes to those two people
and the fact that they didn't get the ball through that
winning streak, you know, that's where they start to hold
it personal maybe to the quarterback a little bit to
a young receiver and they start to blame the quarterback and
they think it's personal like oh he's not giving the ball
where
no, he's just a young guys playing some good defense has and
and probably, you know, didn't give you the ball, all
the times you should have. But he's learning just like you have
because I've seen you guys mess up routes that you're supposed
to run either,
right? So that's where
You know, but I'm like, I don't know where this goes
and I don't see how my quite won't be the starter going forward.
And I don't think this is an easy one to prepare for Jack
Wilson, going forward. I don't, I understand Zach Wilson being
very disappointed in here. And I think the Jets have made,
you know, made a messy bed from themselves and the situation.
Well, their defense is going to keep them in games, right? So
that's the,
my quite can hold on to the ball and not make the big
turnover which Zach Wilson actually did a pretty good job
of and a lot of those games that they want to losses.
Right? Jets have held six of their last Last seven opponents
to 17 points or fewer out there. So if you're the Detroit
Lions, you go. Hey,
we'll give you Jets a second-round pick. All you
gotta do is give us a sec Wilson. I do think it's kind of
interesting because there were a lot of teams. Yeah.
That, you know of, yeah, that like Zach Wilson. Yeah. Going
into the draft, right. That probably still could use
a quarterback in their future franchise quarterback. So if
they feel like you do
like a little bit of a messy situation,
yeah, he wasn't as bad as it looked.
All right, tough spot, because her playoff team now.
I don't know. I mean that'd be interested to it. It depends on
how this year finishes out. It really is but I think the Jets
and this is something to watch for.
Yeah, I don't think it's you know,
as we sit here right now and how the situation was handled
and all of that, I just look at it and go.
I could see things getting messy between both parties
after the season. I could I wouldn't be shocked. I really
wouldn't. Alright, so that was
Morgan. Thank you for that. He can go sit down. Chris comes
back in here.
One more thing I want to say about yes that's right. Yeah
I knew there was one more thing. I pulled the Colombo, I pulled
the Columbo this time. There are some people out there now
saying that
Zach Wilson, Hoodwinked everyone out there, draft
evaluators teams GM's based on one throw at his pro day. Yeah,
that number that throw he was already in the top two
conversation before that throw in the Pro Day,
right? All right. So come on
people just latching onto b******* on social media.
You know that? That's that's where you got to go. And
yeah, listen, it's a great conversation, a really is,
you know, like Even see her. We had a question here by at
Compass traveler run. Do that one? Well
yeah, just read that
Compass traveler
says, I know Mike White was versus the Bears offense, but
watching him and Geno Smith makes me think is their real
value for a Young quarterback to learn a system and develop
on the practice field instead of the pressure of being
a starter right away. Well,
you know is there is value to that there is
I think still think there's great greater value in being on
the field and learning that way as you know unless it goes like
that. Lets it goes like that. I was like all right, you know.
Yeah. It's
Geno Smith. It's been a long time. Geno Smith has gone,
beyond practice field. This is this is 10 years later, so it's
not a development process for him anymore. Yeah, there is
value to that. I understand that,
but I think there's more valuable valuable playing
and I think again, that's where I argue that. No, that's where
like Tony Dungy was on my side a little bit too. If you're
trying to build a culture and something for the future, you
stick with your quarterback through those lumps right there
and you just keep fighting and going through because you would
have got the win yesterday and you have gone. Hey, I know
Didn't play good against them. But look, he played pretty good
yesterday against the Bears,
and we're 6 and 2 with him as a starter,
and we're going in the right direction,
right? So that's where it just upsets to me. Future, plans,
everything. And you know, that's where I like I said,
I'll have my popcorn to be ready for for after the season.
I have a hard time believing that it's going to ever go back
to Zach Wilson this year.
That's it. We have seen, the we've seen the last of him this
year and maybe ever so they got the Vikings. They got. Who do
you know who they have? After that, we have their schedule.
I did. I just kind of interesting?
Here we go biking. Go bills.
Lions rice. So they're going to play
three out of the
four like worst pass defense as you can
imagine here and Mike White's going to get to play them,
right? You Bears the Vikings
and the Lions, right? So that and he's going to get to end
the game against and the season against the Seahawks another
horrible defense right now. So
you got the Jaguars where we know that's a pretty good
defense talent-wise and maybe pause, you know, give them some
issues. But yeah, all things there speak to me of a guy that
I go. Oh
I don't he's going to put up good stats against those two
and he's going to start a playoff game. We haven't
exactly, right? And then your number two, pick will be ruined
and you've ruined the situation. The Jets will have
nobody to blame but themselves will
be fascinating. That's fine. I mean that's fine if they're
comfortable with my quite going in the future and that's cool
too. That's it's not wrong if that's where they're
comfortable.
