 Mike Whites replacing Zach Wilson as the starting quarterback of the New York Jets. But who is Mike Whites? We saw a little bit of a sample size last season, started three games, but we're not too familiar with who Mike White is. Let me go ahead and tell you guys about his past. He didn't become a starting quarterback in football until his senior year of high school, where he threw for 22 touchdowns to just two interceptions. That was good enough for him to get an offer and commit to the University of South Florida. But his freshman season kind of struggled just a bit. Three passing touchdowns to nine interceptions. Decided to transfer after a sophomore year to Western Kentucky, where he excelled, throwing for 8,500 yards, 63 touchdowns to only 15 interceptions. He was good enough to be projected as a third or fourth round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. However, he was invited to the NFL Combine and he struggled. And that hurt his draft stock. He fell all the way to the fifth round to the Dallas Cowboys. After a couple years with them in 2019 pre-season, he was fighting for a backup quarterback job behind Dak Prescott. The Cowboys decided to keep two quarterbacks and they cut Mike White. Just a month later in 2019, the Jets decided to sign him. After the craziness of releasing, waving him, signing to the practice squad, he eventually landed on the 53-man roster for the Jets in 2021. And once Zach Wilson got hurt, he came in and was named the starter for three games. He surprised everyone, including come from behind victory against the Cincinnati Bengals, the same Bengals who made the Super Bowl as an AFC representative that same year. But this season, Zach Wilson showed us on-the-field struggles, questionable post-game comments. Robert Sala, under a lot of fire from the media, decided to name Mike White their starting quarterback. And against the Bears, he lit it up. Over 70% of his passes completed, over 300 yards passing, three touchdowns and zero interceptions. Mike White has now been named the starter against the Minnesota Vikings. And if he continues to do well, we presume that he'll be the starting quarterback for the remainder of the season. Will he lead the Jets to a post-season appearance? But not only a post-season appearance, but something that the Jets haven't seen in a very long time, a post-season victory. Mark Sanchez over a decade ago was the last quarterback to lead the Jets to a post-season victory. Can it happen with Mike White under center? Currently, they are the seventh seed sitting at seven and four. The schedule coming up is Minnesota, Buffalo, Detroit, Jacksonville, Seattle, and Miami. It's a tough six-game stretch. Realistically, they need to win three more games to guarantee themselves a playoff spot in a tough AFC wildcard race. I'm a big fan of Mike White, because he utilizes his offensive stars the way that they should be utilized. Zach Wilson and Tyler Conklin didn't have the connection like Joe Flacco and Conklin did, but White, with his first game back with Conklin against Chicago, had him involved in the offense. Elijah Moore is the perfect example of someone who's unhappy, wanted a trade, didn't like playing with Zach Wilson. They kind of hatched it out, talked it out, now he's staying in New York, and he was very well utilized in that game against the Chicago Bears. They use their star players the way that they need to be used. He unlocks the potential in its receivers in a very great way. I want to hear your thoughts. What do you think of Mike White? Do you think that he should be named the starter moving forward? Do you think that Zach Wilson is going to be the jet starter anytime soon, maybe even next year in 2023? Or do you think that his days in New York are over, maybe in his career? Like, is it going to be a starter somewhere else, kind of bounce around from team to team, not really have a permanent home?
