Speaker 1 (00:01):
You ready to check your feelings at the door, checking out,
checking out? This is am I Reister or am I Row.
We're bringing you facts and only the truth now, am
I Reister or am I Row.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Jets fans, this ain't what you want to hear, but
this is what you need to hear, and we got
to talk about your quarterback situation. Do not give up
on Zach Wilson. I do not care that Matt Ryan
reached out. I do not care that Carson Wentz reached out.
Zach Wilson is your best, bad option, to quote Argo,

(00:36):
but he's an option because some other dudes had multiple
chances to prove that they could still play. They can't. Plus,
then they would have to learn the offense. Timing with
the wideouts and putting old, immobile quarterbacks behind that leaky
offensive line is a recipe for having Zack Wilson back
under center. What are you gonna do? Tray for Kirk Cousins?
How you think he wants to uproot his Coles catalog

(00:58):
family twice in a year mid season and then when
Aaron Rodgers gets back healthy and it's financially impossible. The
Jets didn't give up on Zach Wilson. When they signed
Aaron Rodgers, they shouldn't now And if they didn't believe
that this could work on some level, why would he
still be in the building. Do you realize how rare
it is in today's NFL to draft or bring in

(01:19):
a quarterback that you intend on starting over your previous
guy and hold on to both even when your intent
is not to start the guy right away. Like Will
Levison Tennessee, the writing is on the wall, I mean,
think about it. That's how Aaron Rodgers ultimately ended up
in New York. If the Packers used the twenty six
pick in the twenty twenty NFL Draft on t Higgins

(01:40):
or Michael Pittman Junior instead of Jordan Love, he probably
finishes his career in Green Bay. The last time the
Jets decided to move on from the guy that they
drafted to be the face of the franchise, they made
sure Sam Darnold was out of the building for weeks
before they spent the second overall pick on Zack Wilson.
There has to be a reason why Wilson is still
a round because it damn sure ain't the continuity with

(02:02):
the offense. Because the Jets specifically brought in Nathaniel Hackett
to work with Aaron Rodgers, and it's not Zack Wilson's
immaculate locker room vibes. And it's definitely not Zack Wilson's
immaculate locker room vibes because we saw the entire team
turtle up when Wilson refused to publicly acknowledge that his
play was holding the team back last year. And by

(02:24):
the way, shout out to Wilson for taking responsibility for
the Jets lost against Dallas. That's growth.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
We like growth.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
The obvious answer to why Zack Wilson is still in
the Jets uniform is that he has talent, even if
he hasn't put it together yet. And if we're being honest,
we've seen flashes of that talent, but as four previous
games against the hated New England Patriots were so bad
that they colored the way fancy his young career so far.
Not turning the ball over this last week, though, that's progress. Look,

(02:54):
if the Jets thought that Zach Wilson was ready to
be the guy, they never would have brought in Aaron Rodgers.
If they thought that Zach Wilson would never be ready
to be the guy. He'd probably be in Tampa or
somewhere else battling for reps. Robert Griffin third was right
when he said that the player that give the Jets
the best chance to win is already in the locker room.
It might not be a realistic chance or a great chance,

(03:16):
but it's the best chance. So what's recipe? So what's
Wilson's recipe for success? Trust his brother from another mother,
Garrett Wilson, to make plays, feed the ball to the stack,
running back Stable bres Hall and Dalvin Cook, don't take
unnecessary sex. And, perhaps more important than all of that,
Wilson needs to use his access to the most talented

(03:39):
one legged quarterback in NFL history, the same guy that
seemed to have so much fun calling places for him
in the preseason. This season is not over with Jets fans.
All of your goals are still in front of you,
and the Jets didn't give up on Zach Wilson. He
has the opportunity to reward them for not doing that.
Hope he can let that sink in
