So...Is Zach Wilson Garbage?

New York Jets QB Zach Wilson has become one of the most polarizing players in the NFL. A TV analyst once publicly used the word "garbage" when describing his performance in the NFL. So, we plan to give you the facts and let you decide if that was fair...

Zach Wilson wasn’t supposed to be in this situation right now. This was rodgers team, at least for a few years. Then Wilson was supposed to take over after learning and using rodgers as a mentor. Didn’t work out that way though

Zach has shown so much improvement this season its stunning. Against KC he looked as good as any QB in the game (except for the fumble which could happen to anyone). Considering the facts that he is often running for his life from unblocked defenders and that he has had what seems like an excessive number of dropped passes, he looks like a viable nfl qb. The players have seen these realities and seem to be solidly behind him and more fans are growing that way as well. Almost beating KC, beating philly for the first time, making some amazing throws are moving the needle in his favor and I think rightly so. if he continues this season's rate of improvement he will be very good, very soon.

[@patrickcpuc5]

I think the offensive coordinator needs to open the game up for him. Give him a few options. Rodgers needs to be there to talk to him and help him grow. O-line needs to give him a little more time. And the receivers need to stop dropping passes as they did in the Philly game. He has the talent…but what he does with it is up to him.

He's already shown improvement in two areas: -Running forwards to pick up yardage when no one is open instead of just running around sideways and backwards until someone gets open -Ability to complete short, easy passes. Weird that he had so much trouble with it before, but it was like he thought he had to throw it as hard as he possibly could on short passes. He's gotten that down. He's certainly not good or Trevor Lawrence, and Hackett's conservative, predictable playcalling in some games and bad OL play have hurt him, but he's at least shown some growth

ZW was drafted to the wrong destination; he needed to go to a more competent team that wasn’t looking to win now. QBs are more easily destroyed than developed; and the Jets is where young drafted QBs typically get destroyed.

[@financenco]

It is first year with real offensive coaching. The difference is huge. The issue has been Offensive line, receivers that can't separate, and lack of coaching. The coaching has been better. There are some pieces on offense, but it is still an offensive line, receivers not separating or running wrong routes, or dropping passes. Like yesterday. Add one big penalty. Garrett was hobbling. Other than that, the supporting cast has to do better, too.

[@davet2459]

People saying maybe he's a late bloomer and all is crazy. This dude is still only 24 and is still younger than Aaron Rodgers and Joe Burrow were when they made their first career NFL start. Geno Smith is a late bloomer. Zach Wilson is still effectively a rookie, there is plenty of time.

[@wilsonli5642]

I'm not under any illusions that Zach is taking us to the Super Bowl this year, but I'll say 2 things for him: 1) His accuracy is hugely improved this year. He was regularly missing short passes and even passes behind the LOS the last few years, and that basically isn't happening at all anymore. Maybe Hackett actually knows what he's doing. 2) The offensive line is still terrible, especially with Vera-Tucker and now Tippman out again. If Rodgers goes back out there again this season somehow, he's going to get destroyed again. Wilson seems to have been able to take the hits so far - he was sacked 5 times in the win over the Eagles and 4 times against the Broncos, and still won. Maybe it's just his youth, or maybe just luck that none of those hits were hard enough to really hurt him, but that resilience is going to be really important this season.

He has a real offensive coach and scheme for the first time in hit career, this is effectively his rookie year in a sense. He’d only played like 20 games coming into this season. Which is why the Jets brought in Rodgers, the idea being he’d sit behind a QB and develop. They were resetting the initial process, which they admit they failed. He still has the arm talent and his jump in a new system with a real coach is palpable. Rarely does a play have a chance to turn their career around with the team they initially flopped for. Not too get too far ahead of myself, still a lot of football left, but if he keeps developing at this pace he just might get that chance.

Got completely hosed by the refs in that chiefs game. Not the worst call in a big spot in recent memory, but up there. All I could think was they NFL didn't want the swifty fans to be upset so they told the refs to start calling defensive holding even though they hadn't been calling it all game up until that point

[@Geistyy]

He’s showing significant improvement. Also, the stats with JR might be identical, it’s no question that coming out, Zach has the more talented arm. Zach issue has always been his decision making with ball security and read progression. His ball security has gotten significantly better. His 3 pick game against Dallas, every pick came in the final 10 minutes of the game, down 3 scores, trying to push the ball, and only one of the 3 picks was wildly off target. One he got hit while throwing, the other was tipped by the receiver. My biggest issue with the Zach Wilson hate, is where was this kid destined to be good with the tools he has been given? LaFleur was a first year OC with no experience developing a quarterback or calling plays with Kyle Shanahan the head coach in San Fran. The guy that was meant to be the veteran mind in the qb room passed away before he even took a snap in practice, and they never brought someone else in to help both him, and LaFleur. Also, LaFleur didn’t mold a system to highlight Wilson’s strength, he was very “you have to fit this system the way I need you to”, and had no clue how to make adjustments. We drafted Garrett Wilson and Breece, great, but who else do you have? Our offensive line? One of the dirt cheapest lines that has ranked bottom 5 in pass block win rate the last 2 years, and is second to last so far this year, with injuries decimating the already terrible group even more. Trevor Lawrence? He’s a good quarterback, yeah, his rookie year was a mess too. He threw for 3600, yeah, but watch the tape. Kid had twice as many turnovers bc he put the ball on the ground 3 times a game too. So what’d they do? Fored Urban Meyer. Brought in an offensive minded head coach who knew how to develop a qb. They went out and signed the right guys for him to target, gave him weapons, set up a decent line to protect him, and he broke out. It’s not all about Zach. The team needs to be set up for him to succeed too, and it vastly has not been. If it always just fell onto the shoulders of the quarterback, then Mahomes wouldn’t be having an awful season with no receivers or line.

Did Justin Fields who was at one point the projected #1 pick with as much high competition college experiences showed an elite ability to understand defensive schemes? How about about Peyton Manning?

A reporter asked “do you feel you let the defense down?” Wilson said “No.” if he said Yes, I let the defense down, the narrative would have been he lacked the confidence to make it as a starting QB in NY. Wilson had knee injuries in his first and second year. He missed training camp last year. He was the backup getting minimal reps this year. The national media made his mom the lead story over him being the second overall pick. Then his Ex airs their dirty laundry on social media - if a man did that to a woman, the guy would be destroyed! He’s played Belichick 5 times which accounts for most of his turnovers; most young QBs have similar experiences.

Jets fans in NYC are more starved to win now; they’d trash any developing QB that don’t hit the ground running like Justin Herbert or Joe Burrow. Regarding Trevor Lawrence, the team and new HC in Peterson trusted him enough to allow him to throw the ball and work his way through his mistakes and INTs. ZW never had this luxury in NYC with a rookie HC, a rookie OC and a fanbase with PTSD and zero patience for a raw and young developing QB because winning immediately is all they’ve ever cared for because they’ve been losers forever.

bruh in 2021 Lawrence had 600 passing attempts nearly double zach wilsons, Im no jets fan but pretty sure theres more to that statline than just Yards and TD's. Coming into his 3rd year and the Jets trying to bench him without a real shot. he's already on track to have more pass attempts than his whole 2022 season in less than 3 weeks.

What’s concerning with Zach Wilson. You can say these past three weeks has been his best stretch of football, in the pros. And it’s no where near top 10 QB play.

He would of had 200 yards had Lazard not of taken that penalty when Wilson made his best play, possibly a touchdown after because they would of been in the red zone, luckily for him he’s got the giants and defenses that aren’t as good for awhile to hopefully build some confidence.

Packer fan that has been watching the jets games this season. Question; what QB does their best work when they are running for their lives as soon as they take the snap? Rogers was running for his life on the 4 snaps he took. Are Jets fans so used to this they can't see it?

[@bertgraves6385]

I don’t see much difference between 72 and 69 passer rating. You act like it is a big difference when it is almost the same. Lawrence had way more interceptions. Lawrence’s stats don’t really show that he was better. It is just that his offensive threw the ball a lot more. When they went head to head Zach and the Jets won in part because Wilson had a 60 something yard touchdown run.

No, he’s a developing QB, give him a fill 51 games, equivalent to 3 full seasons before prejudging what he is as a QB.

[@talanock]

@@TheHighlanderprime he's had more than enough games to prove what he can do. all he can do is be an average backup at best. 3 years is a lot of time to give to someone who keeps proving that they don't have it. and the proof he doesn't have it is that the jets wanted and went to get someone else.

He's okay. This is a QB who is clearly still learning, but his improvements are there. its a bummer because I really wanted him to learn behind Aaron. Now he has to be the leader of men.

[@Venom3254]

He's improved from not forcing throws and getting picks from his he was before. Unfortunately he holds on to the ball a bit too long to get sacked (seems like he rather get sacked than throw the ball for a possible pick) and not to mention the O-Line that's terrible or injured that can't defend him (Mike White and Rodgers got injured due to that O-Line, btw)

[@TheHighlanderprime]

Most of the time, he hasn’t held on to the ball … Also, outside of Garrett, who’s getting open? The team’s WRs just don’t get open most of the time; see the films.

first

[@nedmerrill5705]

Light is dawning over Marblehead. Keep up the good work, Zach! Zach's improvement is why Rodgers wants to get back to playing NOW. Playing is better for Zach's improvement than backing up for Rodgers (although perhaps not as good for the Jets prospects this year).

[@jessejordache1869]

Not sure about that -- last year, I think arguably his best game was his first, against the Steelers. After that, his trajectory was overall downwards. The cumulative effect of constant pressure often makes QB play deteriorate -- it's the reason you often understudy QBs in the first place: if you throw Aaron Rodgers onto the field in his first year, you probably never get his SB level play for most of his career after his third year.

[@lilheist]

Zach Wilson has undoubtedly become more confident and mature this season than he did in 2022 pulling out some more improbable wins that he probably shouldn’t have gotten, but he alongside the entire jets team needs to learn how to show up in the first quarter and then this jets team without Rodgers will start to win more games than losing.

[@tylerd1297]

Tbh I always thought Rodgers was a d-bag. But the way he stood up for Zach was pretty awesome to see. I think if nothing else, it helped ZW not get down from being singled out.

[@everythingbuzzcityEBC]

They are now 3-3 after beating the Eagles.

[@boozyyt8070]

It seems like the coaching staff took one training wheel off before the chiefs game and left it like that up to this current point. Zach has been able to handle the broader offense but it still seems like he is being held back by the system ex not throwing the ball down the feild. I believe with this by week they are going to implement the rest of the offense and fully give him the keys we will see how it pans out

[@horsemeattball]

I guess we can all agree now that college stats don't amount to a hill of beans. Especially if you play at BYU. Yes, I know Steve Young went there and had a HOF career. But there is always an exception to the rule.

[@jimc.goodfellas]

Prognosis incomplete. Check back in like 5-6 weeks

[@quickjab33]

He is horrible no matter how much he has "improved". The only reason the Jets have won ANY games is because the defense is very good and Wilson has made some insane catches. I have no idea why the Jets continue to play him.
