If you are a New York Jets fan, then you know that Zach Wilson is a frustrating figure. The young Jets quarterback has thrown four touchdowns and five interceptions this season, despite having a record of 5-2. It is a bizarre position to be in, however, Wilson is taking a lot of flack.
Last weekend, the Jets lost by a score of 10-3 to the New England Patriots. It was a pretty bad loss for the Jets, especially since Wilson was so bad on offense. After the game, he refused to take accountability. As a result, it seems like Wilson is being demoted.
Jets Bench Zach Wilson
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Wilson will not be playing against the Chicago Bears this Sunday. Instead, he will have to sit on the bench. Head coach Robert Saleh made his quarterback aware of that today, and made it clear that Wilson still has a future in New York.
Wilson's previous comments have certainly drawn some vitriol from those in sports media. When young players lack accountability, it always looks bad. Consequently, Stephen A. Smith had some harsh words for Wilson. As you can see, he did not mince words, at all.
“Zach Wilson’s trash. ... He’s a boy playing a man’s game because he mentally showed that yesterday. No accountability whatsoever," Smith said. At this point, it will be very hard for Wilson to come back from all of this. However, it is a teachable moment, and if he's serious about being a star, he will work on himself.
The Jets are having one of their better seasons in a while. They are 6-4 and have a real chance of making it to the playoffs. Of course, it is going to be tough, although they have a real sense of belief that they haven't had in a long time.
Let us know what you think of this decision, in the comments down below. Also, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news from the NFL.
