It would be par for the course for me, honestly.

I don't understand the disparity in treatment on this board of Zach vs Jimmer.

Jimmer had a big fall from Grace? Jimmer was the bigger

There were lots of doubters in jimmers nba ability on here as well.

Jimmer essentially won the basketball Heisman

JOPE

Apr 23, 10:52am

Ok. Makes sense. Zach did a lot too but not Jimmer level.

Mike Bolton

Apr 23, 10:55am

Haven’t been impressed with his off the field conduct, no. The Joseph Smith

BlooCoug

Jimmer is definitely more a BYU guy than Zach, love them both

GlutealGuy

Apr 23, 10:57am

There were Jimmer apologists back in the day too, saying he just needed the right chance/coach/scheme

TCuz

I think it’s really difficult to tell if Zach is a good NFL QB when our only

YOHONOMOTO

Apr 23, 11:43am

No, it’s not hard at all unless you are trying to play pretend.

TCuz

Apr 23, 11:44am

The Broncos should probably take you on as a consultant.

YOHONOMOTO

Apr 23, 12:01pm

I’m sorry, you think the Broncos getting the Jets to pay half his salary and only giving a (bad) pick swap for Zach

TCuz

Apr 23, 12:04pm

The Bills just paid Mitch Trubisky $2.7m guaranteed. Do you suddenly think he must be good?

TCuz

Apr 23, 12:07pm

I think he's a decent backup QB with less potential upside than Zach.

YOHONOMOTO

Apr 23, 12:29pm

Do you think Geno Smith and Sam Darnold are bad QBs?

YOHONOMOTO

Apr 23, 12:52pm

No, and yes. Do you think the existence of (rare) outliers means that your favorite player must also be an outlier

TCuz

Apr 23, 1:13pm

4 of the last 4 Jets QB draft picks going “bust” are rare outliers? lol

YOHONOMOTO

Apr 23, 1:50pm

Bears last 4: Fields, Trubisky, Grossman, McCown.

TCuz

Apr 23, 2:01pm

Ok now how many of those guys went somewhere else and played good/great?

YOHONOMOTO

Apr 23, 2:12pm

Only Baker, because that is the extremely rare outlier I was referencing above.

TCuz

Apr 23, 2:21pm

Busts are common. Busts leaving an organization and performing significantly

YOHONOMOTO

Apr 23, 2:23pm

No, that’s not common in New Jersey either. At all.

TCuz

Apr 23, 2:27pm

I think in general we just have a different idea of which QBs are terrible

YOHONOMOTO

Apr 23, 2:34pm

Their last QBs haven’t been great. But those same QBs haven’t been good anywhere else. Geno is the only guy who has

RealTaysomHill

Apr 23, 2:02pm

Geno is great and Sam is good.

YOHONOMOTO

Apr 23, 2:16pm

What? In what world is Geno great? And if Darnold is good, why is he on his third team since he left NYJ?

RealTaysomHill

Apr 23, 2:35pm

Who is comparing him to Lance, Fields, or Mac Jones?

YOHONOMOTO

Apr 23, 12:17pm

They are not paying him “on par with decent to good backups”

RealTaysomHill

Apr 23, 12:23pm

Maybe I'm looking at bad info. For ex, Andy Dalton shows 2.13M.

YOHONOMOTO

Apr 23, 12:26pm

Yeah that's old info. Thanks.

RealTaysomHill

Apr 23, 12:28pm

The same line of thinking. If you think the Broncos’ intervening $2.75m in Zach means he must be good

TCuz

Apr 23, 12:29pm

There are 20 backup QBs that make more money than the Broncos are paying Zach

RealTaysomHill

Apr 23, 12:17pm

If they didn't think he had any redeemable skill/talent, they would not have

BYUFootballisBack

Apr 23, 12:21pm

He was virtually free and he was cheap.

RealTaysomHill

Apr 23, 12:27pm

Where are you seeing this?

YOHONOMOTO

Apr 23, 12:22pm

Your second link. Instead of “full contract” go to “2024.”

RealTaysomHill

Apr 23, 12:24pm

Yeah you're right. Thanks.

YOHONOMOTO

Apr 23, 12:27pm

I actually think the support has been the same. All we’ve heard for three years is how mismanaged the Jets are and how

RealTaysomHill

Apr 23, 10:58am

I think it’s in your head

cheezedawg

Mike Bolton

I'm sure Zach's immaturity is a big part of it.

BlueFever

Apr 23, 11:06am

His JS comments didn’t help either for some here

STL

Apr 23, 11:15am

Can you please link a poster that takes both of these positions so we can see

Buffalo

Apr 23, 11:12am

There is one poster here who loves to crap on QBs while claiming to be a BYU

Jimmer was 100x bigger than Wilson.
