Busted.
Can we get Matt Miller's message to Joe Douglas so the Jets don't pick Zach "BIG PLAYS AGINST NO ONE" Wilson.
Depends on the team surrounding him with talent boom jets bust
Is funny how everyone is doubting Zach Wilson because he play in a small college and didn't play against alot of elite teams but he beat teams with better stars players and also he didn't have 5 to 4 stars players like Lawrence or field had because everyone looks great when they have elite players surrounding them, not like Zach Wilson that didn't have those elite players and still put up great numbers, just saying.
2019? He played 9 games against 4 top ranked teams, had 11 TD's against 9 INT's. Would we talk about him this way if he put up 11/9 numbers in 2020? Slide in a Division 1-AA schedule, and booyah, great stats.
Matt Miller! I am glad that I really don’t listen to what he says!
Pitts is Calvin Johnson 2.0
I would trade down and get either Pitts or OL man but overall as a team it’s best to take a QB, with Sam Darnolds rookie contract ending it would be best to reset with another rookie deal
So people really sleep on JFields ? Thats funny
Jets are gonna ruin Wilson and if I were him I'd make a fuss like Eli Manning did and demand to play for the 49ers.
Don't blame this scrub on the Jets. He's a scrub, and will be a pro scrub. He's Johnny Manziel 2.0, without playing against competition.
Desmond true to his TTUN stay hat8ing on ANY Buckeye 😏!!
Poor Desmond; he's like Charlie Brown ( in maize and blue ) hoping to kick the football. Lucy's wearing a Buckeye jersey.
Zach wilson is a bust, you cant boom with the jets.
Praying the Patriots move up for Trey Lance at number 4!
Bust
Not even drafted yet and people are trying to decide.
Bust
I would pick the 1 read QBs, I don't look at film but anyone who always throws it to his first read or the checkoff back standing 10 yards from him. Double digit starts is enough to determine that fact, more starts in collage might get them off that tendency. Inconsistent accuracy linked to bad mechanics probably would be number 2. These guys should look at statistics, Wilson is number 2 in career completions behind Laurance in the draft class, to say you don't have enough data from the guy shows a lack of knowledge. Trubisky has both problems, inconstant accuracy and he sees receivers (most time only 1) and not the field. Other shaky QBs like Darnold, Drew Lock, Daniel Jones, etc have the same issues, they might spread the ball around against a weak defense with rush that does not distract them.
Chase > pitts Fields > Wilson
BUST
Zach Wilson weak af
If you actually watch the film you come to the conclusion that Zack Wilson is super overrated
Question, what has Zach Wilson done and against who???
We could get Trevor Lawrence and I’d still be worried. We haven’t had a franchise QB since Namath!
And he wasn't that good
The worst Wilson would be is Manziel
BUST... IF HE WE'RE A STOCK; I'D BE SHORTING LARGE.
You’d probably short Tesla 18 months ago too
Whoever goes the JETs haha.
Pretty much anyone that goes to the jets will be a bust
He has bust written all over him,he looked nervous at his proday ,keep him out of the bright lights.
What? 😂
I really think the two QB’s that are going to have a good NFL career are Lance and Wilson I would take them over all the other so called better QB’s in the draft they just look like they are ready to grind more to make an impression in the league.
You don’t mortgage your future to move up that high to take a mid to late 1st round talent
Nobody's talking about when Zach Wilson gets hit...lets see if he could take a hit...we've seen Justin take one, Trevor, Mac, Trey gave some...we'll see...
Oh he's going to get hit going to the jets lol
EXACTLY
I think it’s pretty easy to say that whoever goes to the niners will have a legit shot of being a top QB because of their overwhelming talent, they are only one year removed from playing in the SB
@Adam Watt half the team was injured smh
They regressed last year not just at qb
I think zach wilson has undeniably good arm talent. The only thing I feel is the problem with him is that he is no question going to a team with dog water o line (jets, falcons), and he's not a trevor lawrence who is big and can hold is own when he gets hit. Also, byu is a nobody college in a nobody conference, he did good yes, but he also played against teams like ucf and cincinnati. So tell me this. Is it really worth taking a qb that is so sketchy and risky of a pick?
@PickleChris Fair enough. Zach weighed in at his pro day last week at 6'2" 214 lbs. which he can add onto when he in an NFL weight room. I think he'll be fine. All the intangibles are there
@Aidan Cawley wilson is 6'3. mahomes is also 6'3. heck, kyler murray one of the most elite qbs in the league is not even 6 feet. it's not about height, it's about weight (wilson is 209) and also him already not being able to take hits from college players. when he was sacked in college, buddy he was HIT. in the nfl, idk if he'll make it out alive
I could say the same of Lance for everything you said except for build. Lance played fewer games against even worse competition. I feel like the NFL is moving away form your 6'4" to 6"6" guys to more mobile guys like Wilson
Zach needs to be a niner. Best fit for him. The Jets need Fields. He is the best fit in NY. Zach in New York is too similar to the Darnold situation
When can we just agree the Jets can't draft a good QB because they are the ones busting them? They need to stop running in circles.
I agree
As if Ohio State and Alabama qbs have lit up the whole league
@Jimmy ! Ok so some of the Qb from Ohio state and bama don’t do good but does that mean that there all bust?
@Jimmy ! that's because they always go to trash teams.
Y’all just proved his point though. You don’t know any qbs from Texas tech except 1. How many Alabama and Ohio state qbs in recent years do you know that had a successful career?
@Spenser Anderson 🎯
nobody knew any Texas tech qbs before Mahomes.. stop using that stupid narrative
He better be mahomes the way y’all speak of him lol no excuses
you mean beat a 43 yr old QB in meanigful games?
@PickleChris If BYU had played Alabama, I would have said 110-0 Tide.
@PickleChris right 😂
fr, most overhyped prospect in the last decade? like guy only played teams like ucf and cincinnati, and still before 2020, he lost
As a Browns fan, he screams Baker Mayfield in many ways, not super tall, very strong arm, great accuracy, gunslinger mentality, lightning fast release etc..
The ball definitely spins better and comes out with more velocity than baker. He’s also more athletic
Yes he seems Baker ish. I'd say he is more athleticic though and taller though.
I hope the jets take Wilson number two so Fields can go to the 49ers and wins a super bowl
@DJ Gus Gomez Yeah, probably not pitts cus they got kittle, but I don't think they go qb, especially if jets go zach wilson, there's no one really to take at 3 (I think lance goes mid 1st round, fields later on, jones sucked at pro day so probably 2nd round)
I have a feeling they go with Pitt actually I don’t think they go QB
@PickleChris oh yeah I forgot about that😂
@Max Kellerman 1 lockdown unless we get richard sherman. marshon lattimore will be locked up for a couple years after being arrested for being a dumb @$$ and stealing a loaded gun and having it found on his person ._.
@PickleChris Kyle trask is so underrated. That’d be a great pick up for you guys. Jaycee too. Y’all would have 2 lockdown dbs
LIVE FOR JESUS, HE DIED FOR YOU❤️
@isaiahh rodriguezz amen
Blessed to age another day
@Breon Mitchell Ik, he was Jewish
Messiah not European blonde hair blue eyes thats blasphemous Messaih Had alot Melanin Lord Black say dont worship images
Amen
Call him bad all you want, but he played on a Mediocre team and carried them on his back to an 11-1 record. Zach Wilson is the man...it’d surprise me a lot if he was a bust. Dude is a freak.
@Lincoln MacEachern you can’t base everything on someone they faced in College, IMO guys like Aaron Rodgers, Ben Roethlisberger, Alex Smith, Tony Romo (who people who aren’t casual fans see as a above average to very good QB) etc. these guys didn’t see much competition in College and look where they are now. Don’t base your judgment on that. Watch what he does against the teams put against him. Watch his progression reads, his footwork, his ability to make plays on the fly, his ability to escape the pocket and make throws when the play breaks down. And he did all of that with BYU. Keep that in mind bro.
@Taylor Latch High level? The opposition he faced on Saturdays was approximately the caliber of opposition he faced on his pro day. IMO, the next Ryan Leaf, Tim Couch, or Mark Sanchez.
@Big J over Fields: he has proven to win with a mediocre roster. Over Lance, he has played at the FBS level at a high level. I love FCS Football, I worked for Nicholls State’s football team while I went to college there, and we played NDSU in the Fargodome. What I learned from that day is that Trey Lance is not only the real deal, but miles over these guys, including his own teammates. His efficiency shows how pro-ready he is. However, I’d still take Wilson over him, and here’s the kicker, he is just that good. He has the X-Factor swag, the Mobility, the ability to carry a squad on his back to win games (what he’d have to do with the Jets anyway lol) and the arm talent that shows to be better than some NFL QBs right now. The only QB in this class better than Wilson is Lawrence, as of right now. Anything can happen.
@Taylor Latch what has he done better than fields or Lance?
@John Jansen Joe Burrow took a long time to develop into a monster, and he had nothing but studs around him. I love LSU so I got to watch him grow into the player he is today. His junior year he only had 16 TDs. He was good, but no freak, at least not yet. Zach before this year was not very good and without his breakout year probably would’ve had to stay his Senior year to make a case for himself. But, guess what, like I said, he played on a mediocre team, needed some time to develop, and carried BYU to a high national ranking, an 11-1 Record, and a Bowl Win. Not to mention his ability to make throws and decisions on the fly. Zach’s last year in College he had 33 TDs to 3 INTs. That’s called efficiency. With BYU’s roster. Dude is good. I’m a football coach, I know this.
Dude is the next Johnny Manziel
That's not a horrendous comparison though. Manziel without all the partying, drugs, and drama was an electric QB who could take over games running and passing. If Wilson has the work ethic and mentality to grow, he can be what Manziel should have been
@Sadat Alam You clearly never watched Zach Wilson play
@Russian Bot baker Who won the Heisman Trophy, Zach Wilson won nothing because he sucked. They are not even close to the same
Thats right baker was manzel i forgot about that
Yeah baker mayfield was the next Manziel to when he was getting drafted LOL
It’s depends witch teams these players get in and what coach and what type of coach that they get
