I heard Wilson was reaching out to Mike White’s Mom - he had a different type of revenge on his mind.

 

😂

 

What if you're a team mom and Zach Wilson never approaches you....does that just kill their self esteem?

No, it means they're safe.

I gotta say Saleh is smart to pull the plug early on him. It’s clearly not working out. Kinda like us pulling the plug on EJ Manuel. 
 

The only what-if is if he is a late bloomer. Look at Hurts. He was very pedestrian his first couple of seasons. But this year seemingly found success. I don’t think Zach will find that success at this pint because the jets are clearly done with him. He will go the road of Josh Rosen

Except Hurts was never as bad as Wilson has been, and Hurts is a man of integrity and extreme work ethic (not unlike Josh Allen, I'd propose) to improve himself...whereas Wilson appears to be an entitled Cougar chaser.

Was listening to Greenie today as he was trying to unfold the curious case of Zach Wilson.  Greenie was asserting that the only thing that made sense was there was a player revolt in the lockerroom to get rid of Wilson.  It is pretty astonishing that they won't even give him a uniform on game days now.

 

There was speculation dating back to when White played last year that Wilson might have lost the locker room. Nothing concrete that I knew of except for  RB Ty Johnson's quote. I never put too much stock in it, thought it was just radio guys stirring the pot. After what's transpired this year I'm not so sure. This quote is from 2021:

 

“It’s Mike f’ing White. He’s a savage, he’s a dog, he’s an animal,” Ty Johnson, earner of 86 yards and the aforementioned score, added. “I said it on Monday, and I’ll say it again. I’m going to keep saying it, he’s a dog, he’s an animal. Let’s keep it like that.”

I think Zach Wilson is done in NY. I wouldn't be surprised to see them attempt to offload him somewhere in the offseason. The on field performance, coupled with the post game interviews, and what else only the players know from team only settings give you everything that you see unfolding now. I know they talk about him getting back to the basics and working on his fundamentals, but I say its all horse manure. He's done, at least in NY.. 

toxic.   Some team will try.  QB needs to lead. Zack is no leader

[Trock]

Wilson looked much more composed that White. White was careless.

If he can’t go, Zach Wilson will be back in the starting lineup. Wilson was demoted to the No. 3 job when he was benched last month, but Saleh said he has moved past Joe Flacco into the No. 2 spot on the depth chart this week.

 

You know all Jets fans and WR's are hoping and praying White will be a full go.

The hoodie has destroyed 2 Jets QBs.  Sam Darnold was never the same after seeing ghosts, and Wilson was made to look foolish in his only 2 losses this season by the Pats.

Darnold wasn’t “the same” before seeing ghosts, all Sam has done since joining the NFL is suck at being a QB.

"Zach's been doing a great job," Saleh said. "He's been deliberate in his approach over the last three weeks. He's been holding himself accountable with regards to how he wants to attack practice, how he's been performing in practice, going against our defense, which I think is a pretty good defense to go against. He's been working on all the different things that we've been asking him to accomplish."

 

I think Saleh has handled this whole situation about as poorly as any HC could.  He says WAY too much to the media, in my opinion.

 

I'm interested to see how others interpret his latest comments (above).

 

If I were to "translate" this, I think it would be something like:  "Zach got benched because he wasn't putting the work in.  His approach was lackadaisical, he's been a finger-pointer and he was just going through the motions in practice.  He's got a ways to go, but he's finally starting to respond to our concerns."

 

My gut tells me that this is more of a personality clash between Wilson and his teammates than anything.  And instead of approaching this as a "team problem," Saleh let the locker room make the call and decided to treat it as a "Zach Wilson problem."

 

Saleh has lost this team, IMO.

 

I couldn't be happier.

I don't think he has lost the team. I think it's the opposite. If you believe what's being reported from the media, then it's Zach who has lost the locker room. I think had Saleh stayed with Wilson while they are fighting for a playoff spot then he would have lost the team. Especially if Wilson continued to play like poop and cost them games. The rest of the team loves White who has played better than Wilson so starting him makes sense. They have no choice but to have Wilson backup White. Flacco is completely done and has nothing left in the tank anymore.

That sucks for Mike White. I hope its only a one week thing

[TheFunPolice]

of course Mike White wants to play... this is his shot to either keep the starting job or put enough on tape that another team trades for him

[f0neguy]

So…. Bills and Lions wins knock the Jest out of the playoffs 👍.   Sounds good to me.

Will they be eliminated w loss to lions ? Doubt it

[f0neguy]

Edit, they could conceivably squeak into WC slot but it doesn’t look good.
