handle the pressure of playing in NYC. He let distractions in, doesn’t know how to respond to press, etc

Now having said that, I do think it’s a little unfair. His record this year should have given him a longer leash

And that's probably it. He's lost the locker room.

His post game presser was cringe. He has to know you can’t handle a

That was such a dumb move. If he'd have just acted like a normal, likable guy

Wouldn't be ironic if they go 2-5 down the stretch.

11/23/22 9:03am

If the coin flip predictions hold, they lose the next one then win 5 in a row.

Mike Honcho

Yeah.. that's been incredibly accurate.

Wow. I wanted to see him against the Bears D who have been awful. He’s a victim

LeonMarek

he's probably lost Zach either way. I wouldn't want back if I was Zach

With all his leverage right? Zach is awful. Who is going to take him?

A merely bad quarterback wins that game on Sunday.

All-American

11/23/22 9:10am

They are one dimensional.. what changed is Hall not being in the lineup

byukarl

11/23/22 9:12am

They are zero dimensional. One dimensional would be a huge step up.

Zach has made mistakes but the biggest issue is the progression of the team has

Maybe this will wake him up.

Zach really lost my respect with his Joseph Smith comment and off-field choices.

Dr MoBYU

11/23/22 9:07am

And one of the reasons I suspected he lost BYU fans

If that’s what you take from my post you’re inserting yourself into it

I don't think you're really being fair to BYU fans. Jim McMahon is loved by BYU

Trade him.

Archaea

11/23/22 9:24am

He may not have a future in the NFL if his attitude doesn't change.

rmsenior

11/23/22 1:02pm

He's shown some immaturity. Leading a team of older guys was never going to

He’s done with the Jets

letthewookieewin

11/23/22 9:08am

Thank goodness

2FarGone

11/23/22 9:13am

Likely done with his NFL career

1984coug

11/23/22 9:15am

He'll get traded and be a back up with starting opportunities here and there

2FarGone

11/23/22 9:17am

Players around the league were tweeting about his comments...I don't think

1984coug

11/23/22 9:33am

He was 5-2 as a starter against good defenses

2FarGone

11/23/22 9:53am

The Jets won in spite of him not because of him

CameronG

Well, that's definitely true

2FarGone

11/23/22 10:02am

He’s been bad but it’s kind of a shortsighted move.

Beggar

11/23/22 9:08am

Zach has been historically bad. NFL is a win now league, especially with the defense the Jets have

letthewookieewin

11/23/22 9:09am

5-2 in 2022 is winning though. 1-2 without him is losing.

Turnpike Lane

11/23/22 9:19am

This is the dumbest argument and it’s amazing how often it’s used on CB

RealTaysomHill

11/23/22 9:25am

Not really. It shows he did enough to win 5 games and just lose 2.

Turnpike Lane

11/23/22 9:28am

They haven't won BECAUSE of him, they've won because the defense and running

Duke Silver

11/23/22 9:25am

True, but he didn't lose the other 5 games they won either.

Turnpike Lane

11/23/22 9:30am

5-2 when some were saying 0-9

Big12Yfan

11/23/22 9:28am

I don't agree. They are ready to win games now.

Shortsighted is keeping your locker room united for a playoff run?

CallSign

11/23/22 9:21am

Only shortsighted if ZW is in their long term plans. This move concedes that

J. Walter Weatherman

Breece Hall getting injured was a huge blow for him.

Mike Honcho

11/23/22 9:17am

IMO he's done as the Jets QB, I think they move on from him now.

cougar95

11/23/22 9:12am

Is there anyone else that is completely indifferent to Zach Wilson?

GRCoug

11/23/22 9:17am

I would like him to succeed as a former BYU player, but I don’t go out of my way to watch or follow him.

Bonoman

11/23/22 5:02pm

He was 5-2 and benched. LOL.

Turnpike Lane

11/23/22 9:17am

with his only 2 losses against the same team, coached by a known QB killer

LeonMarek

11/23/22 9:19am

With competent QB play they would probably be 7-0 during that stretch.

Duke Silver

11/23/22 9:27am

Exactly. Most of us want him to succeed. But there really is no sugar coating how bad he’s been

letthewookieewin

11/23/22 9:30am

Those five wins were in spite of, not because of, ZW's play.

Ham

11/23/22 9:30am

Those wins were on defense and ball control

ALC

11/23/22 9:53am

Hopefully he is able to sit the rest of the year and be prepared for next year.

Super Chicken

11/23/22 9:18am

Be prepared for clipboard holding?

macdizzle

11/23/22 9:20am

Just prepared for his next opportunity. If he gets one. Which I think he’ll get

Super Chicken

11/23/22 9:22am

I agree. He'll start again somewhere and get 2-4 games to prove himself.

macdizzle

11/23/22 9:24am

Is there a Mommy out there that can console him?

TheHop

11/23/22 9:24am

His mom has raised some good and talented kids.

Thrill

11/23/22 11:43am

I was hoping he'd get one more game. Darn it.

Ham

11/23/22 9:31am

Lets follow the Jets and bench all the Wilson’s. Time to move on

timander

11/23/22 9:47am

He may deserve it but it probably won't help them win more games this season.

Great38

11/23/22 10:42am

He was benched for the comment.

txcougar

11/23/22 11:34am

Wait, what? He's 5-2 and they're benching him??? This has to be temporary.

I’d bet money he’d have more than 77 yds passing

Um, he did start against the patriots in a game last year.
