Jets legend Joe Namath didn’t mince words when talking about Zach Wilson.
. The third-year pro has completed less than 50 percent of his passes while tossing one touchdown and three picks over his first two starts, both of which were Jets losses.
But despite another ugly showing from the quarterback, head coach Robert Saleh continued to throw his support behind Wilson on Monday.. “As long as he continues to show the way his preparation, the way he’s been practicing, and even in these games, he’s not the reason why we lost yesterday. It’s always a team effort. As long as he continues to show improvement — and I know it’s not, from a box score standpoint, it’s not showing — he’s going to be our quarterback.
Saleh caught criticism from Namath as well. In fact, the Jets legend said he believes the franchise needs to make substantial changes, including at head coach. "Aaron [Rodgers], he got hurt. OK, well why do you think you have backups there for? They're supposed to be ready to go. We're looking at an offense that just doesn't play well. You've got an offensive coordinator that doesn't seem to be calling the right plays. For this fan, they need to make major changes from top to bottom.
"When [Saleh] is telling me that locker room is together, when he's telling me these guys love one another. Yeah, well thanks a lot."
