There’s never been a QB (or player) that has divided the Jets fan base more than Zach. He actually bought the worst out in Jets fans and admittedly in me too. I wasn’t a “Zach truther” like so many of you screamed at me, I just acknowledged there’s way more issues than him. He isn’t good, I acknowledged that multiple times and that’s the issue: you say anything remotely positive about 2 and you’re a delusional idiot who doesn’t understand football. And if you say anything remotely negative: you’re a delusional idiot who doesn’t know football. It’s just tiring. Truth is Zach is an insanely physically talented quarterback who mentally isn’t ready and that’s dragging him and everybody down. Will he ever be mentally ready? I don’t know and with all due respect to him, I don’t care. Whether he does or doesn’t, it won’t be here. I wish him luck because he is very talented, and unfortunately he got in his own way.
And as Jets fans we gotta be better, he made this fanbase toxic. Like you guys can’t hate him that much. You don’t know him. And truthers you can’t love him that much. Be serious. I really don’t care about the rest of the season, so this offseason only draft WR and OLine (and trade for Tae Adams).
He’s not done. He’ll be back when Boyle and Siemian get hurt.
I think is much harder by far to be a physically gifted but mentally lacking QB in this league than the other way around. Tom Brady does not have physical gifts. Neither did Drew Brees. Nor Chad Pennington. They could play the game though because they had it upstairs. I don’t see anything to suggest that Zach does or ever will.
The peak Zach discourse will be when he wins a game against us in 2-3 years when he’s a backup on another team lmao
everyone can shut up about him
Proceeds to do the exact opposite.
Divided? Feel like everyone knows he sucks but isn’t the only issue. Our offensive line and offensive coordinator are terrible. We let our receiving core turn into #17 and a bunch of old dudes. We traded away draft capital for a 40 year old. This front office is a joke.
That’s not the best part. The best part is being a little closer to having the answers on the other QBs we have as well as the entire team in general.
This team, over the last decade or so, has been in a never-ending loop. The team always does the same thing. They look for a quick fix here and there instead of building up a well-balanced team that will have sustainable success for many years to come.
Every push has a pull.
I think the loud and angry anti-Zach sentiments came because there were loud and enthusiastic pro-Zach takes. Defense forces 4 turnovers and the Jets win by 3? That’s because Zach was QB baby! At a certain point it’s just delusional and comical. People are sick of hearing it and it got to the point of a lynch mob on those posts.
I do admit we have to be more kind to each other. This is just a hobby.
Also this just had to be acknowledged but the BYU/Mormon influence here was astounding. I started screening poster history and WOW…they really just followed him here because of his faith/college. I don’t remember so many USC stans for Darnold or Sanchez.
Plot twist, our depleted offensive line gets Boyle and Trevor hurt. Out comes Zach for redemption!

They’ll find something new to bitch about
