Zach Fans, Not Jets Fans

I will sacrifice a virgin and a Dolphins fan to the Football Gods.

So two Dolphins fans?

Isn't that the same thing?

ZW appears to be in good hands in L.A.


You're up big boy

Surgery went well. Season back on.

Expected back in 2-4 weeks. Dr. Neal ElAttrache is the early frontrunner for team MVP.

Should we sit Flacco again?

So I assume Week 3 is the most logical target for a return? Let him start at home against a worse defense than Cincinnati.

4 weeks from today is Sept 13. So I’d wager he cautiously misses week one, and has a full week of prep for week 2.

Without question.  He's a veteran who's been here for more than a year in the same system with most of the same personnel.  Losing Zach Wilson for the opener is rotten luck, but losing your top two quarterbacks in preseason games would just be organizational malpractice in our situation.

Week 2 and Week 3 seem like the most likely options. Week 2 fits the timeline, but we saw last year that they gave Wilson another week to make sure he was healthy. Wouldn't surprise me again.

Robert Saleh on who will play QB in Week 1: “If Zach is ready to go, he’ll be the starter. If he’s not, Joe will.” #Jets

This is all completley improbable and unlikely, but for the sake of there not being much news right now.

There's reports that Flacco has been on fire and absolutely lighting excrement up in camp (it's freaking camp, who cares)

Let's say Flacco starts at least the first 2 games because of Wilson not being healthy enough and is absolutely freaking dominant.

Is there any scenario where you say hey let's ride the hot hand and let him keep starting as long as he performs?

Obviously we drafted Wilson to be a starter here, but is there any scenario where Flacco starts longer than he needs to?

[MexJetinBcn]

I'd think so. If Flacco is dominant and we win weeks 1 and 2, he should stay. They'd disguise it as Zach is not 100%, but the future of Saleh and Douglas is not assure and the only way they'll be 100% safe is by winning, so they'll do whatever gives them a bigger chance.
