FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Embattled New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson received a strong vote of confidence Monday from coach Robert Saleh -- and scathing criticism from the most famous quarterback in franchise history.
Hall of Famer Joe Namath, echoing the sentiment of an angry fan base, blasted Wilson in a radio interview, while also taking aim at Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas.
"I didn't take anything positive out of it. It was awful," Namath told "The Michael Kay Show" on ESPN New York radio, referring to Wilson's performance Sunday.
Namath was irked by Wilson's first sack, when he went down without being touched.
