Can Someone Check on Zach Wilson Please?

This is the new face of the New York Jets - Zach Wilson, y'all...

With the 2nd overall pick in last night’s NFL Draft, the New York Jets selected BYU quarterback Zach Wilson. This move completed the act of the Jets collectively putting their foot in the dirt and pivoting in a different direction. No more Adam Gase. No more Sam Darnold. It’s Robert Saleh in charge, with Wilson as the face of the franchise. Not to mention, the Jets traded up in the first round to draft the best interior offensive lineman, Alijah Vera-Tucker, to help protect Wilson. Factor in last year’s first round pick, Mekhi Becton, and suddenly, the left side of that offensive line is lookin’ mighty beefy. Will it be enough to really turn the Jets around? Well, that’s why they play the games, folks.

So, Jets fans….let’s parade him out! Here is the brand new face of your franchise…

Zach Wilson is out here looking like he just threw up in his mouth a little bit. If ‘sweaty hands’ was a video clip this would be it. The look in that kid’s eyes suggests he’s not in Kansas anymore. This is a serious question, I promise: do y’all think last night was the first time Zach Wilson ever spent time around black people? I mean, that man is looking for his mommy in this clip. Let’s put the pieces together – BYU quarterback, reportedly comes from a privileged background, reportedly a bit of a brat. I’m just saying…let’s not rule out the possibility here. This may be an issue in the NFL. Is that something the Jets can coach Wilson up on? You talk about throwing up the Bat Signal – this pretty boy lookin’ motherfucker is throwing up the Bat Signal.

There’s something about this kid I just don’t like. I can’t quite put my finger on it. There’s a love affair with this kid that I just don’t understand. How can you call him Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers? That sounds completely absurd to me. Maybe it’s the lofty projections that get me riled up, because it never makes sense to do that for a kid who has never played a down in the NFL. I mean, he played behind one of the best and more underrated offensive lines in college football, and the BYU schedule had Nossi College of Art on it. They played nobody. And, if these accusations are true, how is a spoiled rich kid going to react when things don’t go his way? Is that the guy you want leading your franchise? I don’t know – ’cause we all know the going is going to get tough in New York before it gets better. That is not a team that is just a couple of pieces away. I think Wilson’s in for a rough rookie season.
