I’m so glad that the Jets fell in love with Zach Wilson’s pro-day and passed on J. Fields.

@Cabbage KingLawrence has figured things out. I was told he only went #1 overall because he’s white. Him & Fields have been tied at the hip since pop Warner. @PrideisBears just 2 Georgia boys taking over the NFL
Doctors know what's up and you have to think GMs would consult them.Had to be epilepsy concerns it still doesn’t make any sense
I watched that whole draft process like what the ****, why? about Wilson. I’m so happy people fell for the hype and drafted him
Lawrence and Fields actually had the same QB tutor from the time they were youngins. They grew up like 20 miles from one another. I actually preferred Fields over Lawrence from before the draft because what I witnessed in the Elite 11 competition.I had no clue Lawrence was from Georgia ?
So far him and Fields look like 1A and A1 in that draft. I know they have to be watching each other constantly
Aaron Rodgers will be NYJ QB.Jimmy G to NYJ next year. Wilson will get traded for a late round pick.
We all know why Wilson was even drafted. His MILF mom.Neither did I, especially when what we've seen from him so far is what you saw in college when BYU played a non-cupcake team, like Coastal Carolina. The signs were there this kid had red ****, and I'm not talking about the rich Mormon reality show vibe.
Unfortunately, fans and scouts alike see what they want and convince themselves.
But like @msadows when he (I could swear it was him, he can correct me if wrong) posted the video thread during the draft season that year--who to his credit admitted he was wrong about Wilson--I'll bet scouts also fell in love with the personal BYU workout where he's not in pads, doesn't have any simulated pass rush trying to pressure him/make him uncomfortable. He's just running around an indoor practice field chucking up some very pretty 50+ yard perfect-spiraled bombs to his college WR buddies.
They didn't want to see/believe Coastal Carolina changing coverages (looking like man coverage but running zone or vice-versa) and Wilson looking all kinds of confused and making some ugly, sophomoric mistakes because that was just one game against one good team so it can't be the rule....its the exception, right? It seemed nobody wanted to dig deeper into his tape/game and find out that CC that year had the 22nd-ranked NCAA defense, and was the only defense ranked above 70s (Boise State) BYU played that year. Then the stat-stuffing by dunking on cupcake teams starts to make a lot more sense, especially when the year prior/2019 he threw for 1300 less yards, 20 less TDs, and almost 1:1 TD/INT ratio against significantly better competition than BYU saw in 2020.
Now there's always the side of the draft fans never see unless something horrid comes out (usually long after the draft) like Dez Bryant and Jeff Ireland's interview about his mom being a prostitute and how Dez wasn't a fan. I can fully accept this kid may have aced every question, every test, every meeting, etc. He wouldn't be the first fraud to fool a team. If that comes out at some point I could understand the appeal a little more. He was the 'underdog' small QB that year, so a mix of that, acing the interview, and pretty passes in workout clothes can do it for scouts and fans that lack the critical thinking necessary to see the entire picture.
Doubtful, I mean the jets can’t be that stupid right ???? Right?????!!!?!?Aaron Rodgers will be NYJ QB.
It's probably going to work out pretty well for him. If the turns into "that guy", and the arrow is certainly pointing up...the dude will be an absolute Chicago legend if they manage to win a Super Bowl during his time as a Bear. Lots of ifs, but we all know how huge that would be. Statues and shit.Trust me, he feels some type of way about it.
Like him a lot this year.For those of you watching what do you think of the Jags RT? (Taylor). He’s a free agent. Former high second round pick.
And now it looks like both Wilson and Lance will be busts.It's crazy how things change between the end of college football season and the time if the draft. After Fields threw fir I think 6 TDs in the CFP he was the solidified #2 QB. Then by draft he falls past Wilson, Lance and outside the top 10.
