Stephen A. Smith recently shared his thoughts regarding Zach Wilson's ability to fill in for Aaron Rodgers on the Jets while speaking to a caller on his personal podcast. Stephen strongly criticizes Wilson's performance, calling him "straight garbage" and expressing doubts about his readiness for the NFL.
Stephen argues that Wilson's lackluster performance in the previous season, coupled with his teammates' lack of faith in him, reflects his unpreparedness for the NFL. He highlights moments where Wilson missed crucial opportunities, suggesting a lack of maturity and growth as a leader in the league.
Stephen then questioned the Jets' role in honing Wilson's skills, claiming that the team's decision to bring in offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, who previously worked with Aaron Rodgers, may not be suitable for Wilson's development. Furthermore, he criticizes the Jets' head coach, Salah, emphasizing his defensive expertise and the absence of proper guidance to improve Wilson's offensive capabilities.
