“#Utah news<\/a>paper begs Jets not to pick Zach Wilson<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Someone\u2019s salty!<\/p>\n

A newspaperman in Zach Wilson\u2019s home state of Utah penned an open letter Tuesday urging the Jets to have a change of heart and not select the former BYU star quarterback in the 2021 NFL draft this month.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease, Jets, give Zach Wilson a break,\u201d read the headline of the column from longtime Deseret News<\/em> writer Doug Robinson.<\/p>\n

The piece came in response to the Jets trading Sam Darnold, \u201ctheir latest quarterback fail[ure],\u201d as Robinson put it, to the Panthers last week, all but guaranteeing they will select Wilson with the second-overall pick on April 29.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe New York Post ran a headline: \u2018The Jets now belong to Zach Wilson,\u2019 \u201d Robinson wrote. \u201cThanks for nothing.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook, the Jets are to quarterbacks what Larry King was to marriage,\u201d Robinson wrote. \u201cLook at their record.\u201d<\/p>\n

He proceeded to name-drop some of the quarterbacks, such as Darnold and Mark Sanchez, who have made their way through the Jets\u2019 revolving door of signal-callers since Joe Namath.<\/p>\n

But not even Broadway Joe could escape Robinson\u2019s wrath: \u201cNamath is the single-most overrated football player in history,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere will Wilson be in a few years?\u201d Robinson wrote, while suggesting Wilson look into demanding a trade, as Eli Manning did when he was selected by the Chargers in 2004. \u201cMuch depends on being selected by a team in which quarterbacks thrive. History shows that isn\u2019t the Jets.\u201d<\/p>\n

But there are signs these may not be your Same Old Jets. Joe Douglas, the team\u2019s second-year general<\/a> manager, helped put together a Super Bowl team in Philadelphia in 2018 and may be on his way to building a contender in New York.<\/p>\n

The coaching staff that went 2-14 last season is gone, too, with the well-regarded defensive guru Rob Saleh, and his former offensive sidekick in San Francisco, Mike LaFleur, leading the Jets into 2021.<\/p>\n

All of them fell in love with Wilson, who threw 33 touchdowns as a junior last fall, at his Pro Day last month.<\/p>\n

And it app<\/a>ears they\u2019re ready to select Wilson, regardless of what a Utah newspaper says.<\/a>\n <\/div>\n
