As opposed to what, posting counting stats?

 

You people are out of line.

His stats are worse and if you watch him play then it would be very, very difficult to make an argument that he's better. What are you even going on about?

LOL sounds like a whining child...

 

Of course he plays his best game of the season against us. 

[HappyDays]

The clip of Josh Allen after the Jets loss saying "it's hard to win when your QB plays like s***" went somewhat viral on Jets social media over the last week. And there were reports that Jets players weren't happy with Wilson's lack of accountability. When you lose the fans and the players, the coach has no choice but to make a change.

Seems once a QB is benched, they never come back to be a success. I'm sure there are exceptions, but not many

Expand  

The only one that comes to mind, and it is waaaaay back was Terry Bradshaw.  He was benched in favor of Joe Gilliam before coming back to win 4 Super Bowls and go to Canton.  But even that was a weird one that was in the wake of a player strike in 74.  But Terry had been uninspiring in his prior 3 or 4 years.

Then he should have eaten his vegetables.

[Moulds 808080]

You know what sucks about this is we lost to them!!!!

 

 

Does not matter he beat us weather because of there D or whatever he was QB and they won.

 

I am not saying he is better than Josh he is the goat "JOSH" but was in slump.

Pretty awesome that Mac Jones played Wilson to a 3-3 draw too. The backup quarterbacks appear to be better than the starters on both those teams.

Expand  

Mac Jones is better than people give him credit for. He is like a poor mans Jimmy G. Which on the right team, isnt a horrible option. The Jets defense is also very very good

 

Wilson looks like he has no idea what hes doing out there. His pocket presence is horrendous

[TheFunPolice]

So that actual video from Saleh sounds  a lot different from the Twitter quote from Connor Hughes. OK same words, but huge difference in tone

So, this comes off more of paraphrasing a more normal conversation if we're being fair.

[Generic_Bills_Fan]

I’m sure this has been asked before but…in the middle of the playoff hunt they’re not gonna go with Flacco?

 

seems like more of a 1 game benching punishment type thing than ‘we’re trying to do what’s gonna help our team win games’ thing

Never draft a qb from BYU

Expand  

Don't tell that to Steve Young...lol

[ControllerOfPlanetX]

may hurt his confidence a little bit,  but not his arrogance…

[Jauronimo]

The Jets went from Division Title hopes to season on the brink in one week.  How the f#$@ did we manage to lose these clowns?!?*

 

*Rhetorical.  I'm painfully aware of how it happened.

You don't know me, man.  I'll say it right to his face in front of all 7 of his wives. 

[WotAGuy]

How did they break the news to the team?  Can’t imagine Wilson was present. 
 

Saleh: “Ok, real quick guys, before Zach steps in the room…..he’s been benched. (Load cheer goes up from defensive players in back of room).  Now act like everything’s normal - here he comes!”
