NFL Fans Reaction To The Zach Wilson Bye Week Controversy

Jets quarterback Zach Wilson is going viral on social media this week because of his activities during the bye week.

It seems Wilson chose to spend the bye week with his girlfriend and family. However, Shaun Morash from WFAN wasn’t happy about it. On Wednesday’s episode of “Evan & Tiki,” Morash criticized Wilson, saying he shouldn’t have taken time off right before the Jets-Giants game.

“Zach Wilson is about to play the most important football games of his career and rather than stay back and grind in NJ he took his gf back home to Utah to go apple picking,” Morash said. “Disgrace.”

Morash was understandably ripped to shreds for this horrendous take.

“You’ve clearly never played a competitive sport,” former NFL defensive end Leger Douzable said. The bye week is to re-set get away and re-focus. This take is awful. The man went to see his family with his GF. What are we even talking about?”

Nick Faria of amNewYork replied, “We have a new candidate for the dumbest, and most ludicrous reach of the year. Morash is a disgrace to sports talk.”

“This is so lousy I don’t even know where to begin,” one person wrote.

Another person commented, “You should have to be able to pass a basic IQ test before being granted this type of platform.”

In reality, athletes have personal lives too. They can take time off to relax and have fun. Just because Wilson is the quarterback doesn’t mean he has to be at the Jets’ facility all the time.

The Giants and Jets will play against each other this Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.
