While the news came out on Wednesday that the Jets would be benching quarterback Zach Wilson this weekend vs. the Bears may have surprised some, concern had apparently been brewing within the organization for some time.
According to a report from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, various Jets players have been concerned about Wilson’s fundamentals since the spring. They aren’t sure if the quarterback suffered from a case of the “yips” or whether it was his mentality affecting his play.
Rapaport said on “NFL Total Access” on Wednesday that players were concerned with him not making "simple, really fundamental throws” and that the hope was that things would be improved over the summer.
