Zach Wilson, the Worst QB? 

I’ve reported the giveaway spam. That’s not me, I’ll never randomly reply to comments saying you’ve won some bullshit that’s not my coffee

He isn’t a bust and is absolutely a QB of the future (I am a Jets fan and need him to be good, emotionally)

You’re not a bust Brandon!!! You got a solid community around here and I know it’s tough but keep going man and you’ll blow up. Think about where you were 5 years ago compared to now :)

Trey Lance - "Can't look bad if you don't ever play" 😂😭😭😭

Your no bust Brandon. Your channel is one of the best sports channels. You have a great mix of info and satire. See you on GPS!!

At his current trajectory, Mac Jones may warrant a bust video too.

No I wont call Zach Wilson a bust..... because I dont want him coming for my mom 😓

I think that you can't truly judge a qb until his third year. The guys like Mahomes are the exception, not the rule. And even then, guys who seemed to be the next big thing such as baker Mayfield and Carson Wentz can come crashing down to earth. He is a really bad decision maker, but he can throw a ball on a rope and evades pressure like prime Russel Wilson. At the very least, he won't fail because he isn't trying, because this man's work ethic is off the charts

Balls Deep 🎉I’m glad I found your channel… It’s only going to get bigger my guy!

Dude, two weeks ago you made a video called Bustin' Fields to help your Homer Denver Broncos Ego (e.g. the Broncos could've drafted Fields but didn't (that's a big 'Whups!')). Enjoy Russel Wilson and all the crap that comes with it. Someone like you: totally deserves it.

Bonds had power even early in his career. He was hitting 30 to 40 HR in Pittsburgh and early in SF.

It’s confirmed that whenever Perna makes one of these videos that the QB in question instantly improves their game.

It's funny how after you made that video about Fields he got much better and now the same for Wilson you might be giving these guys motivation

“To explore the thick bushes of milfland” is wild

Either way: Jets should stick with him for 3-5 more years. Teams that draft a QB in the first round and do poorly give up way too easily and perpetuate their bad team cycle. Even if the QB is bad, the emphasis should still be building up the O line and gathering good receiving talent (RB talent not too necessary to focus on, because if you have a good line any RB will do fine. It’s the most replaceable position on offense.) The one thing you can count on, as a team, is that by the 3-5 year mark you’re much better off than you were if you focus on everything other than QB. Because when that time comes, there will 100% be a capable QB in FA or the draft.

Given the track record of Jets QBs since 2000, no, I wouldn't say bust. A bust to me implies no competence whatso ever on the field. Much like Mac Jones of my New England Patriots, it's obvious those two desperately need an OC that can work with their strengths, kind of like how the Bears finally figured out how to work with Justin Fields strengths. Zach Wilson is inconsistent and needs the mistakes he keeps making over and over again exorcised out of him, but at the same time, those Jets look like they got something could potentially get better with time and investment. They do not look like the flaming dumpster fire they've been in the past. Right now, and this will probably get people mad at me, they're parallel to the Atlanta Falcons, in that technically both are doing a lot better than most people believe they have any right to be. If anyone of the 2021 QB draft class is looking like a bust, It's Trey Lance (Not entirely his fault due to injury) and Trevor Lawrence is looking more and more like what he needed most was a Veteran QB to observe for a season or two in Duvall before handing him the reigns.

What can possibly go wrong with having a Wilson be the starting QB of the Broncos 😂 broncos country let’s cry 😭

Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Tua Tagovailoa, Jalen Hurts, and now Geno Smith have all proven that you never know if/when a QB could pop. It could take 1 year or 10. Jameis Winston, Sam Darnold, Taysom Hill, Baker Mayfield, Mitch Trubisky, Carson Wentz, Taylor Heinicke, Mason Rudolph, and even Jacoby Brisette have all shown flashes of brilliance at various points, and all still have legit chances of being good QBs later their careers. Trevor Lawrence, Zack Wilson, Trey Lance, Jordan Love and Justin Fields are obviously too young for anyone to even discuss the just label. Never give up.

Going back through some of the TGS archives. With the Jets picking up Rodgers, it will be interesting to see how this video ages. Is Rodgers' success a byproduct of being in a pretty easy NFC North Division, or is he truly a great quarterback? I know it's not the same Jets team, but let's not forget that Farve went from a team that was 13-3-0 in 2007 (Packers, NFC North), to a team that ended up 9-7-0 (Jets, AFC East), then back to a team that went 12-4-0 in 2009 (Vikings, NFC North).

I always say, you gotta give a QB at least 3 years to see if they are a bust or not. As a bills fan it wasn’t till year 3 that Josh was firing on all cylinders for us, as well as Tua for the dolphins. I think he could be a pretty damn good qb if he works on his mechanics in the off-season, like Josh did in his second off-season.

I like how Perna saw the future

Coming back to this a year later as a Jets fan and oh boy it does not get better!

The Jets are 5-1 with Zach Wilson this year and he keeps making clutch throws when it counts. You can call him a “bust” if you want, but he’s looking pretty good from where I sit.

I obviously don’t know but it really looks like a confidence/focus. He gets rushed and doesn’t think. He has to focus and really take the game seriously so in the games the decisions are easier, he’s used to making the right one

You’re probably the most likable guy on RU-vid who covers football. And that’s saying a lot because there’s a ton of super likable youtubers with football content

I'm a Patriots fan. Guys. How you gonna throw in the towel on Wilson after ONE GAME? I don't even like the kid but look at your record!! You guys are actually winning for once lol

I still have a hard time deciding whether the Jets fail at QB scouting or fail their QBs at the pro level. Seeing Geno Smith's season thus far, for instance, makes me second guess the notion that they just always draft QBs destined to be terrible

he honestly is just making a some bad decisions, all of those picks were toss ups on the run near the sideline. If he starts being more careful with the football he will be a fine quarterback.

Here after he got benched.😂😂😂😂

I’m a jets fan but I’m also an Utah alum and fan. I remember in 2019 when we played BYU (it’s a huge rivalry) and I remember thinking Zach had potential.

My observations as a Jets fan: Every time he scrambles, he keeps his eyes downfield trying to find someone to throw to even when he should definitely just run forward. It was easy to see the disparity last week with Zach running around and chucking it out of bounds repeatedly, while Mac "slow motion" Jones ran for a first down several times. He throws the ball way too hard on short passes. I think (and I know this is not easy to do as an NFL QB) he needs to relax a little and take a little off of his throws. The previous few weeks he was being too conservative, and I think against New England he tried too hard to make up for it. He needs to find a happy medium. I still think it's possible. The team is surrounding him with talent and is trying to give him stability. But I'm a Jets fan so I never expect anything good to happen.

The guy is literally Mitch Trubusty 2.0

You are looking rather dapper Perna, like Paul McCartney when he left The Beatles.

I remember when BYU came to Toledo and I think he played for a little bit. Still love that moment when my Rockets beat the Mormons of BYU

I feel like bust should be a term saved for washouts like Manziel and JaMarcus Russell. Wilson will be a fine back up borderline starter. Sucks he's probably not the guy the Jets thought he was but he's still a good player. Better than all of us couch jockeys.

Good thing you made this video he’s gonna ball out now

Fields is gonna be the best 2021 draft QB

I'm so glad this video is here because the Fields bust video released just before he improved which means Wilson's breakout is incoming, thanks Perna!

Hate that the modern NFL is so quick to move on from QBs now. If you can't pick it up in the first 2 or three years, you're a bust and get sent to backup hell. Know who took a few years to put it all together? Drew Brees. He didn't put it together until his 4th year in San Diego and retired holding every NFL record. Today he would probably be moved on from and never have a chance. Really think QBs need to stop being forced into starting their rookie years and be given a bit more time. Remember the Jets could have kept Darnold and thrown him out there to get beat up on a really bad Jets team.

As a HUGE Jet Fan, I still say we gave up way too early on Geno I was on him from Day 1 and we really messed up not taking Justin Fields over this BUST

Man's played 18 games and we're already calling him a bust. He hasn't been impressive, but it's still too soon to say one way or the other yet. But I'm a Jets fan, so I'm probably just coping.

I'm a Seahawks fan from Brazil and discovered this channel thanks to Russell Wilson stinking up the place in Denver and now I watch every single video. Let's Ride!

The broncos will trade for him next year and sign for an extension

I would like to hear you do a Balls Deep episode on past and possibly present players that are a super bowl jinx. Like Randy Moss with the 49ers and Pats, Wes Welker with the Pats and Broncos, Ricky Prowl with the Panthers and Rams. Im sure there are more I can't think of.

Wilson has some arm talent and good footwork but is slow to read the defense and make adjustments. When he makes the correct read he completes passes but that's a 50/50 probability. His completion percentage isn't going to get the job done for the Jets.

Is it to late to draft Josh Allen instead??

2030 Seahawks Pro Bowl QB Zach Wilson just needed more seasoning as a backup for several years, perfecting his craft, and eventually being able to grow facial hair.

insane how many of his pics came off of plays that hit his receivers dead in the hands & doesnt get talked about

Watching this so that Wilson gets a 5 TD/0 Int game this weekend

Perfect timing for my lunch, thank you Brandon

One Reason he was so good his Junior year is BYU didn't really have a ton of covid protocols which differed from a lot of schools because they aren't in a conference. They got a ton of practice and prep that wasn't afforded to other teams. Their First game that season was against a Navy team that hadn't practiced once since the last season. For teams like BYU that don't have Blue chip recruits, what was essentially an extra year of development helped them exponentially. He's got talent, but He was someone who needed to be a day 2-3 pick and given time to develop instead of being thrust into what is one of the perennially worst teams in the NFL.

Here after Zach Wilson beats the bills. Perma is just cursed with helping out struggling qbs he wants to fail

Jets should get Gardner Minshew

he's good in a pocket, jets can't hold the line to save their life. he's good at dodging pressure, bad at acting under it. i give him until the end of the year to get a better idea of what to do and what not to do to minimize mistakes, because really the jets don't even need him to ball out. their defense is amazing, they just need him to not make mistakes and be consistent.

Remember when BYU played Coastal Carolina on ESPN and the Disney hype machine speculated that he maybe the next Tom Brady? They got blown out

as a jets fan I have 100% given up on him, and just hope we can sign lamar next year.

It’s still early to say, he’s got a big arm and good mobility, but his decision making, awareness, and touch could use a lot of work. He got kind of exposed in college games against teams with NFL caliber defensive players and he still gets really panicky. It’s a rare player in the pros who can reliably run around and improvise plays without racking up turnovers and they usually have stellar teams around them like Mahomes or Russ before he turned into a pumpkin. Even Josh Allen took time to develop that ability and he’s a much more freakishly athletic dude than Z Wilson

Going to support. Z W today..Wearing his shirt..

Brandon "you aren't a bust" Perna... seriously my favorite sports channel on the RU-vids man.

I like these videos. Do one on Trevor Lawrence and Mac Jones. Trey Lance is the only one with real excuses

If the Jets would just start Joe Flacco, they might be a serious threat.

I think that if they built a team around his abilities. Instead of trying to make him into a pocket passer.

Russel finally wins a game. Perna: WE’RE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL

@2:36 the reason why I subscribe to this channel.

Thank you for saying it out loud

give them geno back lmao

The fucking Belichick bit lol, gold

"The team asked him to throw just 55 times in those games." 21 + 18 + 26 = 65. Math is hard.

I mean people were calling Josh Allen a bust up until about 2 seasons ago.

At 4:00 that dogs mad cute

I think the issue too is that a lot of these young QBs have bad coaches developing them. Pretty sure if they had someone like Sean Payton it would be different

Great show, as usual - quality and fun, as usual.

Mr. Perna you keep saying New York when speaking about the New Jersey Jets. Go Bills!

“but zach wilson is not josh allen” wtf does that even mean i bet you were saying josh allen isnt patrick mahomes before he straightened up, such a stupid thing to say zach could 100% b like a josh allen if he gets its together not saying he will but its just stupid how everyone only looks down on a player unless theyre great never ever seeing potential under the ruff noone saw allens greatness coming cuz ppl only see the possibilities when its already there, i just hate that way of thinking

Bad analogy with Bonds, he had power before the Roids

It’s weird seeing someone Brendan’s age going balls deep in Zack Wilson for a change

And this season you got him!!! Good Luck Broncos!

And now he's a bronco 😂😂😂 classic

Not if he's winning. Even if he's not great he's good enough to QB a team winning games, bust talk will be later maybe, but if they keep competing no way.

This is why I hate it when people knock on "game manager" type qb's. Yeah, they don't usually get you the big highlight plays but they're smart w/ the football and don't make stupid mistakes. So if the rest of the team is in point, you're going to win a lot of games.

He’s trending that way, but I wouldn’t say so just yet.

13 straight loses to the pats. I know the pain. Good luck Sunday

You know who beat the Patriots a few times? That Joe Flacco guy

When i watch them play, i see the talent. He has a really nice arm, decent mobility. Just can’t make the right decisions. Theoretically that’s the most coachable thing, but we’ve seen plenty of qbs not make it work

Ur channel is one of my favorites keeps me updated on football and the jokes r 👌👌

before the steroids Barry Bonds was actually a 40 HR-40 stolen base in a season type of player. He was a league mvp before the juice

I hate calling a player a bust without seeing them in different system first. So many young QB's/players get flushed by terrible programs (i.e. Geno Smith).

I don't know that team is so young at the moment but i will say he a MVP in cougar hunting.

I have two categories for that QB class - 1.) potentially okay, and 2.) Potentially bust. 1.) Lawrence, Fields, Jones 2.) Wilson, Lance I don’t think any of them at this point can be considered franchise QBs… but, maybe they can pull it together.

This didn’t age well

Jesus can we give players time to develop? Not everyone has the best offense coach ever (Reid), 2 HOF pass catchers ( Hall, Kelce) and gets to sit a season. Most times it takes a season or two to hit full speed.

They're probably stuck with him for another year. But the kid is only 23 years old.

Too early to call him a bust. But he needs a better QB coach and offensive coordinator... He's incredibly talented and has all the tools to be great. It took Josh Allen until year 3 to get to form. We'll see. But it's too early to call him a bust just yet.

Whose to say all those QBs would play the same on the Jets tho.

I would've put Flacco in after the 2nd int.

Zach Wilson went off in 2020. He was drafted in the 2021NFL draft.

What the heck was the deal with that tackle at three minutes?!

I stopped watch PMS for this. And I don’t give a flying fuck about the Jets. Love you Perna.

its debatable but if he can't fix his awful one read option and interceptions, yes. I want the jets to do a deep dive at QB next season if wilson can't get past 10 TD passes this year.

I think it's the coaching of the jets that isn't using his full potential
