I was 1,000 percent against Zach being benched this year and I still am to a certain extent but there is ALOT MORE at stake here. We all know what they are and that is exactly what Saleh, the rest of the CS, Joe D and maybe even Woody was discussing yesterday.
- Jets need to bench Zach simply because he’s playing like shit and holding the team back.
- Even more so than that the dude doesn’t want to take true accountability for his part in these losses. Saying he didn’t let the defense down is the biggest slap in the face there could be. Benching him, whether it's for just a game or the rest of the season just might be the thing to get him to wake up and be the player/leader he possible can be!
- Every player on the team is probably pissed off at him because of his play. They all know he’s holding them back. The offensive players know more than anyone else.
- Also is fact that Saleh can’t lose this team and if he doesn’t bench Zach, he most likely will.
- Last is this team is playoff ready and they can’t let Zach ruin it for them. There’s still a chance they can make it.
This isn’t last year where the team was pretty much garbage regardless. So, you might as well play him and let him learn on the field. We all know it was the hope that he would learn last year and improve and be ready for this year and beyond. That is clearly not the case.
So, in this type of situation, it’s clear and obvious a change has to be made. Now what we don’t know is will the other QBs we have will do that much better than Zach but it’s pretty safe to assume that they will. So do it, why wait at this point!
