OT: Football Thread

[SA16]

One of the crappiest qb’s in the league refusing to play for you should see Zach, the coach and GM all out the door.

Hopefully they get lucky and if he refuses to play they can terminate the deal with no cap penalty. Not sure of the NFL rules and such.

 

[NickyFotiu]

Salah said Zach came in asking to start so that sounds the opposite of somebody not wanting to play. I know Jets fans are disappointed in Zach but for the most part he has been a good professional. His play has disappointed but he has not been a bad guy. I just finished watching Manziel on Netflix. Zach is so much more professional than Johnny Manziel was. I'm not saying Jets fans need to love Zach but I actually respect how he has handled his bad situation (not his play).

He’s a real hero

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Need Rodgers to bail on this mess, which will spell the end of the entire front office.

Burn it all down to the ground.

If he thought there was a risk for injury before this came out...just imagine now.

 

[NickyFotiu]

The coach literally said Zach was in his office asking to start today.

At this point I just honestly and truly wish they'd move. Can Woody take them to Mexico City or somewhere? Like I sincerely would be okay with this team ceasing to exist. I don't even really care about the NFL in general at this point so I'd be totally okay with it.

I remember my father used to say that all the time and I was like, nah, you don't mean that pop, you'd be crushed. But no, he totally f***ing meant it, and now I understand it.

And he didn’t refute The Atheltic report at all, Rodgers clearly told Zach you are making a horrible decision.

I know it seems all bad for Jets fans but they have had some good moments occasionally. Want to hear something crazy? Mark Sanchez has a better playoff win/loss percentage than Aaron Rodgers. Those Sanchez Jets made the AFC championship 2 years in a row. People also forget also the Chad Pennington Jets destroyed Peyton Manning's Colts 41-0 in the playoffs.

I can not say what was said or was not said in private conversations or if those conversations really took place. I do not see Zach as a guy who would say he does not want to play due to his fear of being injured but he may have said he has other apprehensions (like lowering his market value) or maybe he did not say anything at all. I never like anonymous sources because its hard to know what is true if nobody is willing to stand behind their words.

Yeah, I hear you, but "some good moments occasionally" isn't exactly cause for celebration. They are unmistakably one of the most pathetic franchises in the four major sports.

What is wrong with Taylor Swift . . . ?

That the media and the league can't stop talking about Kelce and Swift. How she's the songstress of our generation, right behind that other "juggernaut" Beyonce.

And then there are her fans, who both idiotic and psychotic.

To be honest, I don't care for either one.

The jets would pick a tackle, not another receiver.

Would be tough to pass on Marvin Harrison Jr if he's available at your pick, but that OL needs a lot of help.

Maybe the Jets would look into a Julio Jones type of package from the 2011 draft (perhaps not move as far down though) if they're in that position. At minimum, I think you'd need to be at 3rd overall for this to even be a conversation.

Yea, I still think they will win a game before the season is out, but if they ever did get to 3-4, I wouldn’t mind a small trade back to get the second rounder back.

The positive for this stupid team is the draft is tackle and wr heavy.

Burn it all down to the ground.

The biggest problem is the owner. Burning it down means that moron gets to decide who builds it back up. Again

 

[sbjnyc]

So ... same old jets.

The biggest problem is the owner. Burning it down means that moron gets to decide who builds it back up. Again

This states the problem perfectly.

Former WFAN host Joe Benigno says he consulted Robert Saleh about playing Zach Wilson

Former WFAN host Joe Benigno says Jets coach Robert Saleh consulted him after his decision to bench quarterback Zach Wilson.

[NickyFotiu]

Carton says he spoke to Salah. Salah told him that the Zach stuff did not happen.

 

[Crease]

Jets held a press conference to confirm that Zach Wilson indeed wants to play football. What a time to be alive.

Boyle being released, Brett Rypien being signed. No idea who will be starting. Does it matter?
