ZW has asked 3 former QBs what it’s like to play for the Jets

[gmf1369]

It won’t become official until Thursday night, but BYU quarterback Zach Wilson is all set to become a Jet.

Wilson has contacted Mark Sanchez, Chad Pennington and Josh McCown to pick their brains about what it’s like to play for the Jets and in New York City, according to Aditi Kinkhabwala of NFL Network.

Sanchez was drafted fifth overall by the Jets in 2009 and played with them until 2013. Pennington was drafted 18th overall by the Jets in 2000 and played there until 2007. McCown played for the Jets in 2017 and 2018.

Wilson is expected to be drafted second overall by the Jets in the 2021 NFL draft, and they’re hoping he’ll be their franchise quarterback for a decade or more. By learning from people who have been there, Wilson is hoping to be ready to go as a rookie.

Ok
Slim Pickens:
So he contacts a guy eating hotdogs on the bench

A guy with absolutely no arm strength
And
A guy that played for every NFL team and sucked on all of them. Including the UFL

I now have to question his critique of NY QBs?

Call Joe Willie !!!!!!!
Although that’s ancient history for him

I can't believe that he would be interested in anything that the butt fumble king had to offer. I saw Sanchez referred to recently by one of these sports reporters as a Jets Legend and laughed hysterically. He's a legend ONLY for his butt fumble and while he had a couple good seasons none of that, in my opinion, was of legendary status performance. He would be better off just trusting his own ability to deal with the high octane NY scene.

I think it’s a very smart move. He is not asking them how to play football, he is asking them how to deal with being a QB of the New York Jets. These are two vastly different things.

The jets prove history repeats itself again & again & again & again.................

But at some point it stops???????? For a time

"Tell them you got to see the film first" when asked a question. " We got to clean things up for the next game" " we have been having great practices all week" " I see ghosts" " great bbq this week at Jd,s we are a close team"

Anymore.

Now wouldn't that be something . I could just imagine the protest and the planes flying once again over One Jet Drive Park with fire JD signs in tow .

Exactly. There's no guarantee that he's actually the Jet's choice.....................

After talking to Sanchez, and hearing about the never ending re-telling in the press of the butt fumble, I wouldn't be surprised if Zach claims he has a bone spur so he won't get drafted.

Later

Should have called before declaring for the draft

Hey..... I’ll give the kid credit. It’s like checking Glassdoor before accepting an offer from a shitty company .....
