Jets fans boo Zach Wilson as QB delivers terrible performance vs. Jaguars (VIDEO)

Zach Wilson is not getting much love from the New York Jets these days. Irrespective of the public vote of confidence that Robert Saleh gave to his young quarterback, the fans are in no mood to forgive him. Ever since the terrible performace by him against the New England Patriots, the fans have been in no mood to forgive him. He compounded the issue by refusing to take the blame for the failure there and now the fans seem keen to remind him of every mistake he makes.

The issue today was multiple blitzes that he failed to pick up. They were raining down throughout the game but became louder when he failed to pick up the pressure with just a couple of minutes left until half-time.

Boo birds really came out here.. 🤣

With the Jets trailing 13 - 3 against the Jaguars, the fans wanted their quarterback to do something and reduce the arrears. This was especially frustrating as they saw Trevor Lawrence, taken one place above Wilson in the 2021 NFL Draft, led a 96 yard touchdown drive just a while ago. Instead, on the very next play after the sack, he failed to recognize the pressure again and saw his throw batted away by the same player who had sacked him.

Roy Robertson-Harris got a sack and then did this on the next play 😤 @BigXander95

Zach Wilson's breakdown in relationship with the Jets

Head coach Robert Saleh has been trying to buck up Zach Wilson this weel by saying he can be a very good quarterback. He said,

"The frustrating thing is that this kid is going to be a good quarterback, but the NFL and this new instant-coffee world that we're in just doesn't want to give people time."

However, the players are in no mood to forgive him after his faux pas following the New England deafeat. He had total of 77 yards of passing offense in the game without a single touchdown. It was a very poor performance. He then refused to take accountability for it, leaving many of his teammates miffed. He later admitted his mistake but it seemed too late.

It seems to have been the end of the tether for many fans as well. They were expecting Mike White to take the reins but his unfortunate injury has meant that he is not available today. Zach Wilson had the chance to win them over with his performance on the field but failed miserably in the first half today. As he left the field at half-time, the boos rang out relentlessly around the stadium.
