I think it’s safe to say that Brady Quinn is not a fan of Zach Wilson. Despite him dealing with an injury, the former QB had a lot to say about his lackluster performance during the Jets first preseason game.
The Big Ten analyst went in on Wilson during a radio segment on Fox Sports Radio.
Brady Quinn: “Despite the injury, Zach Wilson looked awful in that preseason game. Can we just acknowledge the media continually to try to make Zach Wilson something? The media wants this to work out so badly, and it’s kind of tough to listen to, quite honestly. I’ve never seen a QB get so much love from the media for doing less, than Wilson in a long time. Once he got selected in the draft, I had my concerns: he’s smaller so he’s subject to injury, he didn’t play against elite schools in college, and he’s starring down targets. All of these things have played out. I hope he recovers from this, but I don’t get the media love. They’d be good with Jimmy Garoppolo at QB, but they won’t make that move because they’ve invested so much in Zach Wilson.”
Jonas Knox: “I’m curious to see what happens with Joe Flacco, because even Robert Saleh said that Joe can still start in this league. I just wonder if Saleh looks at this situation and thinks that the Jets are in a better position with Flacco at QB than Zach Wilson.”
LaVar Arrington: “Are we saying it’s time for Jimmy G? It’ll be a reunion with Robert Saleh, so he knows the offense.”
The love for Zach Wilson has only gotten stronger this offseason after his ex-girlfriend exposed him for sleeping with his mom’s best friend. As far as his play on the field during his rookie campaign, Wilson threw for 2,334 yards, 9 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions.

He had a lot to prove going into his second year before this injury. The New York Jets held their breath when starting quarterback Zach Wilson came up limping after a first-quarter scramble during their first preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Wilson was then helped to the locker room and did not return.
Wilson suffered a bone bruise and a meniscus tear and is expected to miss 2-4 weeks.
