I'm not disputing that Cam was good in that particular game, but like, come on. It was a fairly reasonable take at the time that ended up being dead wrong going forward.

Sure.

But not as wrong as all these mcmagic classics from this page:

Okay yeah, it definitely didn't qualify as "best take from the thread."

Anyway hope you guys have been enjoying my blurbs on Rotoworld:

quote:

Jets head coach Robert Saleh said Zach Wilson (knee) will miss at least the season's first four weeks.

Saleh said he wants Wilson to recover physically and mentally after suffering a preseason knee injury that required surgery. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said Wilson "had no setbacks" in his recovery. As NFL Network's Gregg Rosenthal said, "This feels like a benching." After a miserable rookie season in which he posted the league's lowest completion rate over expected, Wilson reportedly was inconsistent throughout Jets training camp. Perhaps Saleh is conceding that the team's offense is in much better hands with Flacco or third-stringer Mike White under center.

Next thread needs a new rule, no posting old Mcmagic takes until after page 10

Edit: if this was a benching they should have brought in someone better to backup. I would expect Flacco to look fine & consistent in camp. But I don't think he will hold up in real games. Plus his age is worrying for when he gets hit.

It just doesn't make sense at all considering they were floating the idea he could play for week 1.

Didn't Wilson only throw a handful of passes before getting injured? Seems unlikely to be enough to "bench" a guy.

I didn't think too much of the "Flacco will start the first four games" at first but it is actually incredibly weird if Wilson's already healthy. They are legitimately giving Flacco a chance to win the starting job outright.

Then why won't they start him if he's healthy?

Like Week One on limited practice, fine I guess (although just about every other starting QB would still get the nod)… but an additional two weeks? For a player that's healthy? He's not a rookie!

It's extremely dumb. The Ravens were already preparing for Flacco so you don't realize any benefit to floating the possibility he'll be ready W1 and now you've just pissed off your fanbase for no reason.

The Rotoworld blurb and this Connor Hughes hit led me to believe he was 100%, but not 110%. Anyway, if he's not healthy then that's that, but it's still odd that Saleh would do A Gamesmanship for a very unlikely Week 1 start but doesn't leave himself gamesmanships on the table for Weeks 2 and 3.

If he kept up the "well he could start this week maybe" for 3-4 weeks and just kept sending out Flacco that would look extremely bad.

Well, they're not putting Wilson on short-term IR so he can practice (at least I'm pretty sure I read that). So Saleh could be doing A Gamesmanship by saying he'll be back in Week 4 because the team can walk that back whenever they want, right?

I'm mostly joking. I think it's a combo of things: (1) the meniscus is fine or close to it but the bone bruise is taking longer than expected, like Metapod said, (2) they want to give him a week of practice time when he comes back, and, most importantly, (3) they just shat the bed on communicating the injury timeline and should have said 4-6 weeks from the jump.

Also plz don't get your football news from Rotoworld blurbs.

I saw it then cross-checked with a beat reporter that said, "The Jets have insisted from the very beginning to wait until Zach Wilson is 100% before he returns to the field—apparently that's not totally true. Robert Saleh said on Wednesday that they actually want him to be 110%." Come on! How else was I supposed to interpret that?

Oh I was referring more to the bit about it being a stealth benching and that Wilson had a bad camp (which is something flatly refuted by pretty much every Jets beat guy).

I mean if Saleh at the press conference did say "Yeah he's 100%, but not 110% and we're not starting him until at least Week 4" that would definitely be a stealth benching. But Saleh didn't say that. My afternoon is ruined.
