Breaking: During a team meeting minutes ago, Jets players were informed that Zach Wilson is not starting Sunday's game vs. the Chicago Bears, sources tell ESPN.

That's the big fly in the ointment. He likely got benched like this because he followed his bad play with being mouthy in pressers and basically acting like an entitled brat. Not looking good right now. [Reply]

Agreed.
I made a point to watch the pressers (short clips anyway) and he just comes off as an entitled, cocky douche. You go out there and throw for 77 yards on 22 attempts and only put up 3 points in an entire 60 minute game, you need to be at least a bit contrite when you’re addressing the media afterward.
His wording and the things he chose to say were also an issue on top of his demeanor/tone. Like when they asked him if he felt like he let the defense down, he’s basically like “No. Sometimes the receivers do things I don’t like or I’d want them to do differently and I don’t complain about it.”.. lol like bruh. You’ve gotta do better. Just take the L on your shoulders. People will respect you far more if you take accountability. [Reply]

To my previous point:

This could save their season and potentially Wilson’s career if he’s receptive to this humble pie.
He likely had the chance to right what he said in the presser to his teammates and coaches in the meeting room this week. The benching shows he probably wasn't eating the humble pie.

Or, maybe the Jets coaches would rather play a veteran to win now over a young QB.
If they beat Buffalo for us great, I'll cheer for that. [Reply]
Two top 5 QB picks in the last 5 years now evaporate under Jets mgmt.
He is going to evaporate faster if they keep marching him out there and his teammates have a mutiny. They will undoubtedly give him a shot maybe as soon as this season. But he has to earn it, including the trust of the locker room. What would be worse for his development is enabling him the way Rex Ryan did mark Sanchez.
And not sure the point about darnold. There hasn’t been much to suggest the guy is any good. [Reply]
