The #Jets are making a QB switch: Veteran Tim Boyle will take over for Zach Wilson, sources say. Boyle gets the start against the #Dolphins in the NFL’s first ever Black Friday game this week.
This was obvious when Saleh tried to slam Wilson on the ground

when he tried to "hold him up"? It looked like something from the WWE.
Bet they wish they kept Mike White!

In all seriousness it is absolutely insane that ZW has over 30 career starts lol.
He is legit one of the worst of all time, how they kept him on as a backup and kept running him out there is crazy.

Amazing that Jets went into the season with him as the backup to an aging QB.
I don't understand why Jets fans aren't calling for Douglas's head.  
Strahan91 : 11/20/2023 1:20 pm : link
Saleh too although I'd say there's more noise from the fanbase about wanting a new HC than firing both of them. If the situations were reversed, I think most of us would want a housecleaning.
Almost feel bad for Zach  
The Dude : 11/20/2023 1:20 pm : link
It got to the point where Zach showed you exactly the player he is, but the jets, with a decent overall team continued to put him in. He was a backup and rightfully so, but tough to throw a guy out there and expect different results.
Great GM they have over there.

Exemplary work through five seasons.
He made Darnold and Sanchez look like  
averagejoe : 11/20/2023 1:24 pm : link
first ballot HOF. The Rodgers trade has been a disaster. Cant fire Saleh or Douglas unless AR approves and can't cut his worthless buddies and OC Jets were forced to hire .

Best day ever ?
This is what happens when you carry a backup QB  
Section331 : 11/20/2023 1:27 pm : link
just to make your presumed starter happy. Boyle sucks.

They are inevitably going to double down on it too by giving up draft capital for a 31 year old Davante Adams

Letting Mike White go was moronic. He was a terrific backup for them last year. Look how well Garrett Wilson played with him as QB.

They were fine to make the Rodgers move, but should have either traded or dumped Zach Wilson and re-signed White as the backup. Poor job by the GM refusing to part with a failed high draft pick.

Z. Wilson 11-20 in 31 starts

J. Fields. 6-26 in 32 starts
The Jets have their problems  
johnnyb : 11/20/2023 2:03 pm : link
and we have ours. But Douglas was stubborn with keeping Wilson and it hurt the team. Is Woody smart enough to see the arrogance of Douglas and Saleh?? Probably not.
we are not ones to talk  
djm : 11/20/2023 2:36 pm : link
but the Jets are weird. REALLY weird.

They're going to get Caleb Williams, i'm pretty sure Fields days are numbered there
Jets thought Rodgers  
jvm52106 : 11/20/2023 2:45 pm : link
would save them and save Zach Wilson. Wilson was perfect for Rodgers- no threat to him at all and that has backfired bigtime.

The bigger question with the Jets is how does Saleh have a job still? His teams have been marked by epic loss totals and by a fractured Def vs Off mentality every year there.

Watching him this summer gush over Rodgers and act and talk like he was a proven winning head coach was way way over the top. I think he is a fine DC but he has failed as a HC.

I hate the way he stands on the sidelines in his track pants with his legs spread and his arms crossed like a tough guy
Woody handed Rodgers the franchise  
Drewcon40 : 11/20/2023 2:52 pm : link
Aaron Rodgers basically tells the Jets what he wants and they have placated him his arrival.
At first it looked like Saleh was trying to hold him up.....  
GiantBlue : 11/20/2023 3:25 pm : link
and then all that pent up frustration came out and SLAM!

At one point Wilson fell over running backwards toward the huddle and I thought...That is the moment....like the butt fumble for Sanchez....that is emphasized for his time with the Jets.

He definitely needs a change of scenery somewhere without the bright lights-big city.....and is probably back-up material.
what a horrible #2 pick he was - almost as bad as Darnold  
PatersonPlank : 11/20/2023 3:37 pm : link
The Jets sure know how to pick QBs

And the Italian, QB'ing NY's teams. Sounds like a Scorsese script!
The Tim Boyle era has begun

Just a shame Flacco signed with Cleveland or they could have brought him back instead.

Sam Darnold is 21-34 as a starter with 61 TDs and 12 rush TDs

Jones is 22-36-1 with 62 TDs and 13 rush TDs
WFAN Tierney and Sal

Jet fan crying at 10:34 about Giants fans calling in about the Jets.

Maybe your hosts, your fan base should stop pounding their chests and players should shut up.

The real point of this is show the folly  
LauderdaleMatty : 11/20/2023 5:57 pm : link
Of trading up o matter what it costs for a QB this year.
Was more important  
Sammo85 : 11/20/2023 6:50 pm : link
To win that great game that everyone remembers against the Rams in a lost season.

Almost had Trevor Lawrence.

The fallacy of sunk costs, apparently.
