While many Jets fans are calling for the end of Zach Wilson’s brief tenure as the starting quarterback, BT is going against that grain.
But under one condition.
“I want Zach Wilson back next season,” BT said. “But I want him back without [Mike] LaFleur.”
The Jets offensive coordinator has received plenty of criticism this season, and himself admitted on Thursday that there was likely a better way to develop Wilson that involved serving as the backup to a veteran quarterback during his rookie season. BT has seen all he needs to see with LaFleur, but he’d like another look at Wilson with a more capable play caller.
“The way they’ve handled Zach Wilson has really been comical,” BT said.
“It’s been distressing…it’s basically been the blueprint of how not to develop a quarterback.
“I want to run it back with Zach. Caveated, LaFleur’s gotta go. Under no circumstance can Wilson and LaFleur work together net season. If the Jets find a veteran offensive coordinator, I want Zach Wilson back.”
