If the Jets were in the playoffs, there are a lot of quarterbacks that Gio believes would give the team a better chance to win over Zach Wilson.
One of them: Ben Roethlisberger, straight out of retirement.
“Ben! One hundred percent!” Gio said when asked who he’d rather have under center. “To win a game tomorrow?”
Boomer doesn’t believe Wilson has shown that he can be an NFL quarterback, but even he couldn’t believe Gio’s emphatic response.
“He hasn’t played or practiced or anything,” Boomer said. “You’re saying you’d want Ben Roethlisberger to get off of his couch, go to practice on Wednesday, and win?
“That is so ridiculous.”
Still, Gio wouldn’t back down from that take.
“Let me tell you, last year he had a winning record with them, he threw for 3,700 yards, 20 TDs to 10 INTs,” Gio said. “The year before, he got his team off to an 11-0 start if you don’t remember that.”
