A comparison anyone should consider between Joe Nath and Zach Wilson is this: They both dared to separate.
Namath wore a mink coat on the sidelines when he was not playing.
Wilson wears a headband while he is.
And it reveals the essence of the Jets’ new franchise quarterback.
On the Wilson zoom call, Wilson said, “I’ll definitely wear a headband, I have to wear it or else I’m sweating all over the face and can’t see that I’m throwing the ball.” “I think I loved the look of the headband emanating from the back of the helmet, something that sets you apart and makes you kinda different from a little more quarterback or something. I always just kinda thought it was a good one. I was sure that we would be able to find something out.
Maybe the sight of Bill Ballistic might shake the child. Maybe it won’t. Because what was written on his headband at BYU is a volume.
“Any team at any time, any place.”
no fears.
bring it on.
“Obviously people were skeptical of our program,” Wilson said, “and the message behind it, it wasn’t an egotistical statement at all, it was more like, ‘You know, we’re confident in ourselves and we’re No one is ready, no matter where it is, ‘
“People doubted the level of competition that we played, and we weren’t afraid to play against anybody. It was really just, ‘If you want to play us, play us.’ “
Wilson comes out of nowhere, a virtual aftermath, for the moment, for this championship-hungry franchise and fan base. And now he needs to find whatever anger he has inside him to live up to his status as the second pick of the NFL Draft.
“I won’t say the Dalit mentality anymore, I’ll still say the ability to prove something,” he said. “If you’re a second-overall pick and you don’t perform and you don’t work hard then that means there’s nothing down the road, and that’s why all this opportunity for me to come into a wonderful organization and take the same Is. The approach that I did when no one believed me back at BYU at a time after my BYomore year. It’s a really falsified mentality and just being able to put that chip on my shoulder and make sure Is that every day you are working and doing everything, no matter how high or low you are. “
Everyone from Richard Todd to Sam Darnold can tell about how little can be done here. They all believed that they had enthusiasm and a temperament for disaster. Not all of them were proved right.
“Since I was 7 years old, I signed up to play quarterback, and that’s what the job is,” Wilson said. He added, “The fans have made the game so fun and exciting. No matter what is going to happen.”
Joe Douglas will continue to add playmakers and protectors – see Aliza Vera-Tucker – so the highs are more frequent than highs. Head coach Robert Saleh’s wisdom and words of support have also given Wilson a rest.
“Every single piece is needed to round this thing out. Wilson said that a man is not going to do it on his own.
Wilson has eye-opening improvisation skills, but he won’t try to make it one of his idols Aaron Rodgers has done all these years.
“It’s really my own style, who I am as a quarterback, how can I be my player,” he said. “Trying to be like someone else, I’m the quarterback that I am and I’m giving it my all and it’s gonna work.”
Nevertheless, each time he would titillate with his off-platform genius.
“It’s certainly not an attempt to make it harder,” Wilson said. “You want to keep the game as simple as possible, and it seems to me that maybe one of the things I’ve picked up all my life playing basketball is … the ability to react and try to play with nothing, Like I always thought it was just a part of my game. Now I come to the point where I want to be that pocket passer, a man who can play and then when the time comes you can save someone Let’s get in the field and get the extension, and I hope that our team can give us the best position to win. “
Wilson has already tied up with offensive coordinator Mike LaFelur.
Wilson said, “Coach LaFleur’s awesome, we get along with Super-Well, it’s natural. He’s an easy guy to talk to and joke around with and get along with.” “He’s a quiet friend, I think the plan-wise he’s going to do is exactly what we need.”
The child has a sense of humor. His dedication and commitment to the sport and commitment to love will enable gripped veterans to follow him, the child’s face and all.
“BYU’s got a bunch of big guys with missions and everything,” Wilson said, and smiled. “Some of my best friends at BYU have three children.”
When asked if he had been bothered by any pre-emptive criticism – his durability due to his modest frame, BYU schedule, shoulder surgery – he smiled: “Just the fact that everybody felt I was 6 feet. He was a little stiff. “
She smiled when she said: “My girlfriend told me last night, she says, ‘I think we’re gonna wake up and it’s all a dream.”
“I’ll earn my stripes now.”
Any team at any time, any place.
