This is part 2 of my 180 part series of making everything about Tua being a superstar

It's probably still too early to call this but it's starting to look like the "get a guy with a cannon and then coach him up" method has only worked for Mahomes, Allen, and to a degree Herbert.

With the amount of WR talent out there now I feel like the meta is gonna shift back to coveting guys that can read defenses and make good decisions at the NFL level and then surround them with receiver talent.

You see, any NFL QB could put up Tua's numbers and be an MVP candidate and win games if they wanted. They simply choose not to for reasons I won't be explaining.

He really hosed up taking LeFleur with him instead of McDaniel.

I would have to assume Zach is on a short hook against the Bears or outright benched. Saleh needs to if he wants to keep the locker room.

If they go 3 and out on the first drive vs the Bears there are going to be loud boos and Mike White chants.

This is fluke garbage because they played the Jets twice without their best offensive player and best OL and the awful browns and lions. The only good offenses they have played against this year have shredded them.

Mcmagic you think any team that isn't like 8-2 is a "garbage" or "dogshit". Like do you not have eyes? The Browns and Lions are both feisty teams that get up for their opponent every week and play hard.

Having a bottom 15 quarterback doesn't automatically make the entire team "dogshit". You seem to think it's impossible for a team with a bad quarterback to win games by game planning around their QB and if they do it means the opponent is garbage or dogshit and the win shouldn't count for anything.

The Broncos are dogshit.
The Raiders are dogshit.

The Lions and Browns are not.

As much as he doesn't have a cannon, I think you have to include Jalen Hurts in the "QBs that lacked NFL processing skills when they were drafted", and you can also see the process starting to work with Fields. The proper QB camp is basically Tua, Burrow and Herbert. And even then you can argue Herbert sits between those two groups.

I think I think that actually the last few years have shown that the right approach is to draft for athleticism and ceiling rather than processing, but you absolutely have to start the player off with a kid gloves offence. Philly has done it amazingly with Hurts, the Bears have finally built their offence around what Fields can do rather than what they think he should be able to do. The biggest mistake the Jets are making is treating Wilson like a conventional qb who can run, rather than a project QB.

No.

In fairness, if you were doing a redraft I'd probably still take Burrow and Herbert over Tua. But it's now a case of whether you prefer champagne, caviar or lobster, as opposed to one of the most unfortunate draft fuckups of recent times.

In other Zach Wilson news, I just had a look at the 2021 draft where the Jets got him and the Niners took Lance.

The next eleven picks were

Pitts
Chase
Waddle
Sewell
Horn
Surtain
DeVonta Smith
Justin Fields
Micah Parsons
Rashawn Slater
Vera-Tucker

That's two players who're the best in the league at their position (Parson, Surtain), two who are almost that (Chase and Slater), and five likely to be regular pro bowlers (Waddle, Smith, AVT, Pitts, Sewell). The "bad" picks were Justin Fields, who might end up being the best QB in the class, and Jaycee Horn. Just an absolutely stacked first round.

The Patriots haven't played a decent QB since W4 and even then it was a washed Rodgers. They haven't played a good QB since Lamar and he threw for 4 TDs.

The thing I've learned about the draft is that if you draft a QB just because you need a QB and not because of the specific QB you're drafting you are likely loving up. That is how you blow top 5 picks in the draft twice in 4 years.

It's week 11 (i.e. no early season fuckery) and Browns and Lions are:

4th and 6th in yards/game
8 and 10 in points/game
Rank well in ~advanced stats~

What is a good offense, if not this? The top 3-4 teams only?

The Lions, Browns and Falcons are are #8, #10 and #11 in PPG in the NFL despite having "dogshit" QBs as mcmagic would say. The Lions just dropped 62 points in their last two games alone.

Point being, with an emphasis on the running game this year, NFL teams are finding ways to overcome mediocre QBs.

John Lynch also put a reasonable backup plan in place, had a first round QB implode and he's still a super bowl contender.

They wanted to trade Jimmy they just couldn’t find a buyer because he was rehabbing his shoulder. He didn’t even participate in practice during the offseason, because they were so sure he’d be gone. That wasn’t a backup plan, they just couldn’t get rid of him.

Lynch spent all offseason trying to trade Jimmy G and is insanely lucky no one took him, but he had a "reasonable backup plan"

I say maybe the Jets should sign anyone with a pulse and I am obsessed with Backup QBs or everyone I name just sucks anyway. Oh and when Wilson got hurt I said we should get Jimmy G cause he was on a 1 year deal anyway. Meanwhile the Jets haven't had a QB start every game since Fitzpatrick AND statistically Wilson was coming off a rookie season worse then Darnold's, Smith's or Sanchez's and that was very comparable to Josh Rosen's rookie season.
