Joe Namath says he’s ‘seen enough’ of Jets’ Zach Wilson: ‘Send him to Kansas City’

LA Times

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson is tackled by New England Patriots linebacker Josh Uche on Sunday at MetLife Stadium.

Asked what he thought might be done to help Wilson improve, Broadway Joe said: “Send him to Kansas City to back up someone like Mahomes and maybe he’d learn something. I’ve seen enough.” Asked if this is the lowest he’s felt as a Jets fan, Namath said, “I think so.” But, the legendary quarterback said, “I’m not quitting on them.
