Radio Show Host Mike Francesa Leaves A Harsh Advice For Jets’ Zach Wilson
Mike Francesa, a legend in New York City sports radio, described on Monday what Jets quarterback Zach Wilson will need to do in 2023 and beyond if Aaron Rodgers continued to be the starter.
After Wilson refused to accept responsibility for how the offence fared in a crushing defeat to the New England Patriots in 2022, doubts about his ability grew louder. A few months later, the Jets acquired Aaron Rodgers from the Green Bay Packers, giving the team’s supporters reason for optimism.
What the Jets will do with Wilson is still an open issue at this point.

Radio Show Host Mike Francesa Leaves A Very Harsh Advice For Jets’ Zach Wilson
When asked on his BetRivers podcast on Monday what kind of resource Aaron Rodgers will be for Wilson, Francesa tried to advise Wilson even though he didn’t have a definitive response.
For those who want to just get rid of Zach Wilson, think about it:
If your kid broke his new expensive toy, before you threw it away, you would try & fix it first
We have to try & fix Zach, or let Aaron Rodgers try, before we throw him away
Let the mentorship begin 🫡🤞🏻#Jets pic.twitter.com/C4asCPlYA8

“I don’t think Rodgers was brought here to teach Wilson anything. Anything he’s going to pick up he’s going to have to pick up on his own. I’m not saying that Rodgers won’t sometimes lend him some of his expertise, maybe he will maybe he won’t,” Francesa said, talking about the “many” hours the two will spend together in the Jets’ quarterback room.
As a fanbase we have to stop hyping up Zach Wilson.. he hasn’t proved anything to be our franchise Quarterback, I hope learning from Rodgers gets his confidence back and he can show some progress. https://t.co/S7LBpbtoA8

Wilson is going through a hard time right now, he added.
“He is going to have to suck it up, practice, practice, practice, hustle, learn and all that time just keep his mouth shut. He has been handed a very, very tough road to travel. Maybe he comes out the other side, maybe he doesn’t. If it does, it’ll be a hell of a story.”
Time to breakdown this 8 second practice clip…
Zach Wilson often tries to imitate Rodgers’ mechanics, but gets into trouble when relying solely on his arm for power.
Whereas AR steps into this throw and generates power with his hip rotation. Even though he’s lifting his back… https://t.co/ivfUtiIibD

“He was that bad. So, he has got to put in the time, learn his craft, work on his footwork, learn how to quarterback. He’s going to get a chance to watch and see how one of the greatest quarterbacks in history prepares.”
Love watching Aaron Rodgers (@AaronRodgers12) & Zach Wilson (@ZachWilson) bond 😭 📸 @nyjets #TakeFlight #Jets pic.twitter.com/2XlMmN81ZN
