Wildes has great takes man that’s exactly what the jets did

[@steves9964]

Except what he didn't say is that Wilson lost the locker room last year not even due to very poor play but rather because of an entitled attitude. That wasn't the Jets' fault. Wildes doesn't like the Jets as it seems is the case with just about every other non-Jet fan media personality out there so again it's pile-on time. Rinse and repeat. Maybe the stars have actually aligned here for Wilson to make good after being humbled. I also disagree with the assertion that it was wrong to bring in Flacco (or anyone else) and his eventual comments about wanting to compete to be the starter. Going back to Sanchez the Jets mismanaged young quarterback situations with Sanchez, Smith, Darnold and now Wilson by drafting them very high and giving them the keys to the kingdom without any sort of competition. They were criticized for that too, and rightfully so. Heck, it took for Smith to get punched out during camp to clear the way for Fitzmagic to play in 2015 and lead the team to its only winning season since its last playoff berth in 2010. It was also the only season I can recall in nearly the last twenty that the Jets fielded a competent passing game.

[@Hec5432]

Him saying what’s the point in making the playoffs was pretty dumb though. Besides the fact that the Jets have longest no playoffs streak in sports. They’ve been talking playoffs all offseason, the players want to make playoffs

And how are they going to boost his confidence after benching him last season, and bringing in someone to replace him? Lip service is not going to help

[@steves9964]

@@aroperdope Wilson was benched last season because of his attitude. There would have been a mutiny if they kept him under center after that second New England game up there. What's wrong with him being humbled? If he's a competitor and actually cares about his craft then maybe he'll learn from the benching, work harder and come back better. From all accounts he's seemed to handle things very well, including dealing with Rodgers' arrival. But this idea that the Jets did Wilson wrong is laughable. He did himself wrong. He was more interested in his ego and banging MILFs than improving. They did Darnold and Sanchez wrong, not Wilson.

Wilde's is wrong about Wilson. You know how bad on and off the field you gotta be to get benched as the number 2 pick? The teammates liked literally every other QB better than him and he wasn't out performing them either really. You can't waste the upside and success of 52 other guys when you see that he isn't the guy by no means. Then to mention those interviews he gave during the season as well. He's been a bust every step of the way.

[@andresparry8104]

Nick didn’t go through the tape, Zach’s first game as a pro was impressive. He made two huge TD throws while running for his life after every body watched his soul leave his body on a brutal sack against the panthers. He has had REALLY good moments and REALLY bad moments. Don’t good coaches say that if I have seen a player do something once I can coach them to do it every time?? He has hurt himself a lot, no question, but we know he has a bad O-Line and it sure as heck seems Like his defensive head coach doesn’t know how to develop a quarterback.

[@rasserfrasser]

Even with Wilson's first game posting a much higher completion percentage than previous years against a very good Bills defense. They're not going to get the long ball out of him, and with that offensive line he's more likely to get injured than show results (good OR bad). But because their team is so stacked in every other department, you can still look for the Jets to at least be spoilers and if lucky land a wild card spot down the stretch, but that's about as magical as it's going to get.
