It doesn’t look like anything. The plan was not for us to start in his first year and he didn’t.

Putting aside the reports of him underperforming, they spent 3 first round picks to replace a guy that got them within 4 points of the superbowl.

If Wilson last season or this season plays on the level of any of Bridgewater's last 3 seasons we would be hailing him as our savior.

I still think he was a worse pick then Darnold, and have never liked him. I just flat out don't think he's good. I think he might take a step forward this season, but it's mostly going to be him being more conservative with the ball and not throwing as many INTs.

TBQH if Zach Wilson had 7+ YPA and completed 65% of his passes this year (like Bridgewater has the last 2 years) along with *spins wheel* 21 TDs and 9 INT or something, I would be pretty pleased! I don't think that's taking ""the leap"" but it's definitely a good building block season that should make Jets fans optimistic.

That would at least graduate him up to a level of "competent NFL QB" which is a big step from where he was last year

Zach goes to sporting events and eats dinner and golfs with Braxton Berrios. That's about all I can tell. Never seen a drink in his hand.

Christian McCaffrey is adjacent in a lot of their IG stories but pretty sure that just because him and Berrios are with the Culpo sisters. And I'm not sure where the George Kittle connection comes from but he hangs out with them as well.

In my head I know you are probably right, but I think it would still be far, far more embarrassing to hire a guy who has utterly failed at running offenses for two of your division rivals - to the point that he potentially ruined a young QB - and give him yet another chance.

He’s in the best shape of his life, fitting right in as just one of the guys with the longer term vets, and was hard at work all offseason fine tuning his throwing mechanics and studying the playbook. This is why Mitch Trubisky is poised for a breakout year.

I can’t believe the “Mac Jones in the best shape of his life” thing is a real story.

Isn’t that normally reserved for guys in year 8 or dudes coming off serious injury?

Well he was a bit doughy so if we extrapolate his stats while in a dad-bod last season to what they’ll obviously be if he gets in shape that comes out to around 45 TDs and 5500 yards. I mean when you have a QB whisperer like Joe Judge alongside the sky in the limit really.

It's just that time of year. All the Dolphins articles I've seen talk about how much better the offence looks, and how there's a new vibe.

And entirely discount the idea that the D has gotten worse rather than the O getting better.
