Wow, Joe going off on Zach, Saleh and JD. Sounds like a lot of us.
"I didn't take anything positive out of it. It was awful," Namath told "The Michael Kay Show" on ESPN New York radio, referring to Wilson's performance Sunday.
Namath was irked by Wilson's first sack in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the
Patriots, when he went down without being touched.
"You sit down? You sit down on a play? You go right down? What happened?" Namath said, incredulously. "I thought you're trying to win and make plays. You quit on a play? What is going on? It's disgusting."
The Hall of Famer said he'd trade Wilson: "I wouldn't keep him. I've seen enough of Zach Wilson."
"Namath also suggested that Saleh and Douglas should be replaced, saying, "These guys aren't picking the right players. They aren't doing a good job of coaching. It's evident. I mean, you've got to look and see. If you have an eye for football at all you see things are haywire. It's too crazy. They need to fix it and that's getting rid of a lot of people and bringing new ones in."
Continuing his rant, Namath added: "They need to make major changes, from top to bottom." The legendary quarterback, who led the Jets to their only Super Bowl victory in 1969, is generally upbeat about the team. This, he said, is his lowest point as a fan of the team."
Hall of Famer Joe Namath blasted Zach Wilson in an interview with "The Michael Kay Show" on ESPN New York radio, while also taking aim at coach Robert Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas.
