Here is what he said.

 

 

 

Wilson makes the game completely uncomfortable on every down. Wilson makes the easy hard. He makes everything look hard. He has no idea how to play the position. Zero. He has no pocket awareness. He has no footwork. He has no touch on the football. He does not know how to throw anybody open. He does not know how to look away from his primary read. He does everything wrong. And then he makes some crazy throws across his body on broken plays that go for big yardage. He can make plays on the run on broken plays, but that’s the only time he’s any good. The rest of the time he stinks. And he doesn’t have any clue how to play the position. None. I mean, he makes you uncomfortable. He’s not positioned to throw the ball when he drops back. He drops back like he’s in La La Land. He looks up and there’s five guys in his face. He doesn’t know when to throw the ball away. He has guys wide open and he misses him by 20 yards, or he tries to drill the ball through them.

“Quarterbacks have to have an ability to finesse the ball when it needs to be finessed, to drop the ball in when it needs to be dropped in. Not throw the wrong pass at the wrong time every single time. He missed wide open receivers by 20 yards, tried to throw the ball through guys who were 10 yards away. I mean, yeah, what an awful quarterback display for a guy who had 300 yards passing. I mean, he’s a mess. Let’s be honest, it was a miracle they had the lead. He looks like you handed him a car, and he’s never been behind the wheel. And he’s just taking that car everywhere. He’s everywhere trying to keep that car on the road. That’s that’s how he looks at the quarterback position. I mean, you can add it all up. He just was terrible at the position, terrible.”

 

Who said/wrote that, Cimini? 

 

If he can write that and still show his face in the Jets locker room it says more about what the locker room thinks about Wilson than what Cimini thinks about Wilson's play. Reminds me of when a backup LB broke Geno Smith's jaw and nobody stood up for Geno.

 

EDIT: if this was from Francesa it makes far more sense to me - and makes my Geno comparison irrelevant.

Mike Francesa.  Looks like the OP from a merged thread stripped from it's title.

Francesa said it on his podcast.

So Mike White went back into the Bills game but was subsequently ruled out of the next two....that's not a great look for the Jets.

Eh, they went with the best info they had at the time. I don't really fault the Jets for that

Staff: "Better put in Wilson, Coach!"

Saleh: "THE HELL YOU SAY!" 😠

Early in the year when Lawrence was still jaggy I thought the football gods were looking kindly on the Jets for not tanking for Trevor.  But yes, yesterday showed they should have completed the tank. Ancient Frank Gore picked up a critical first down for them to complete the non-tank.

It's very safe to say that after last night that he can MOST CERTAINLY show his face in the Jets locker room.... Zach Wilson is the one who shouldn't bother... he looked TERRIBLE.

Didn't Lawrence talk about playing another year to avoid the Jets or something?

[Einstein]

Summary: The fan told the Jets GM “Way to draft Ryan Leaf” (referring to Zach Wilson’s poor play). The Jets GM responds that he could “break (him) like a pretzel” and charges at him before Saleh (head coach) restrained him.

 

Huge topic on the Jets forum and the fan released a video about it as well.

 

 

[RiotAct]

haha, I was reading that very thread over on JetNation a few hours ago.

[TBBills]

I want video proof

[HOUSE]

Ryan Leaf was better than Zack Wilson

Well not like they have to worry about preparing for the playoffs.

[Ya Digg?]

Not saying it didn’t happen, but is there anything out there verifying this in fact happened? Or are we just going to believe some random story and just run with it?

[The Wiz]

The GM didn't charge at the fan.  He approached him with excitement that Ryan leaf was available to sign.
