ZW left early. Jimmer came back for his senior season. Both were great for
BYU, but, like many young players these days, ZW sold his legacy for a pot of porridge and $35M or so.
I hope ZW rebounds and gets a ring, btw.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

He was virtually free and he was cheap.

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

I think it’s in your head

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

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

Jimmer didn't have anywhere near a good enough season to leave his junior year..

Irrespective of your opinion on that, Jimmer built his max legacy at BYU and ZW
Cougarbib

Yeah I got off track from the original OP, and agree, Zach will get a lot more
