Oh, well, this is good. I was worried he’d think he was being scapegoated. 

[JETS SB]

Definitely the words of a locker room cancer and an awful human being. Shoot him now, while he is still 3rd string. Don’t let him go on and ruin everyone that he infects. He must be stopped.

If you listen to Zach carefully, he knows he’s been bad.

a lot of people pointed out how happy he seemed over the summer. He’s probably relieved to have the pressure off.

He was thrilled to not have to play and suck.

What a swell kid

[SickJetFan]

Sounds like a person who just had huge weight lifted from his shoulder.  He seems fine collecting pay checks now and throwing the pigskin around at practice until his time is served so he can go back home and do some radio or whatever for BYU.

Nobody is happier than him that he is benched, no way in hell kid wanted to go out there again.

It’s like when my family made my fat porky ass play soccer with all the other Italian kids in the league. I played one game and then they made me goalie. Holy hell, that was brutal, all those little skinny prick lickers kick  the ball right at my my nuts, they had good aim too. 
 

They let me stop after one season and my Uncle Ralphie brought me to my first Pop Warner practice following year. It was amazing being able to smash all those skinny little pricks  during Bull in the ring. I was much better when people had to run at me before  they could run away from me.  Maybe Zach should try soccer or lacrosse? 

[Jetsplayer21]

He should have done the honorable thing and tell JD earlier in the yr to go get a decent qb to take over for Aaron

Talk about kicking the kid while he’s down. He tried hard and said all the right things, he just wasn’t good enough. He’s been humiliated enough by his failure, I don’t think he deserves extra ridicule. 

[Ron Rico]

Just curious, who actually clicked the link

[CanadienJetsFan]

Seems to have taken it like a man. All he can do is be a good teammate at this point.

I’ll give you 30 million reasons why he’ll live.  He doesn’t read these posts, either.

He is not a bad kid, just bad qb

Well then just paint all of me impressed then!

He tried to do a good job. He failed. He still got paid millions. We should all be so lucky.

He was injured so of course had little to say when Joe Flacco played four games in his place last year.   Once he came back I think he handled his benching for Mike White ok.  I think he was a bit more miffed when White got hurt and he was then benched for Chris Streveler.  He understood when he got benched for Aaron Rodgers, and now he is handling his benching for Tim Boyle with great class.  They are right he is maturing as a QB.

I don’t think he realized how much of a pressure cooker the NFL is and especially playing in NY until he actually started playing.

Did Zach ever venture out of Utah, besides away games, obviously?

[JiFtheOracle]

haha he's probably thinking to himself, you think I'm bad, just wait.

You’re right he probably doesn’t read this and he’s made a lot of money. He certainly has played badly which even he admits. I still feel bad for him because he’s failed at his lifelong dream and that has to hurt.

If it makes you feel better, he really doesn’t like football all that much.

Nah, he's just bad at football, dude. Grow up. Aren't you dying? This is what bothers you?

He’s hoping if he talks about it enough his family will put the epitaph “Zach Wilson wasn’t that bad” on his headstone.
