Shannon Sharpe didn’t hold back during the Jets’ nightmarish game in Arlington, Texas, on Sunday.
While discussing the Jets’ 30-10 loss to the Cowboys on Monday’s “First Take,” Sharp mocked quarterback Zach Wilson and said Aaron Rodgers’ disciple “can’t be in a horror movie.” Pretending to be dead”.
“I said it last week, you’re not going to win with him,” Sharpe said when asked by host Molly Kerim if the loss proved the Jets need another quarterback.
“I mean, this guy can’t play dead in a horror movie. How many scenes do you need to see?
“I’ve watched all of Friday the 13th [movies].I’ve watched all of “A Nightmare on Elm Street” [movies] He couldn’t play dead. ”
Meanwhile, “First Take” host Stephen A. Smith and ESPN NFL analyst Ryan Clark couldn’t help but laugh.
“It’s a beautiful line,” Smith said.
“At some point you have to realize, he’s who he is,” Sharp said of the Jets’ situation with Wilson. “There’s no way you’re mortgaging what you mortgaged and paying Aaron Rodgers what you paid him if you thought he was only going to hit a little bit.
“Right now, it’s sad. It’s frustrating that four games into his tenure with the Jets, he goes down and now your worst fears are realized and Zach Wilson has to play.
“And Greenie [ESPN ‘Get Up’ host Mike Greenberg] That’s right – they [the Jets] Knew he couldn’t play.
“He couldn’t convince anybody in the locker room because they’d seen it for a long time … and he couldn’t play,” Sharp said, referring to Wilson’s time as Mike White’s backup last season. .
Wilson had one touchdown and three interceptions in Sunday’s game.
The third-year quarterback went 2-for-13 passing under pressure against Dallas.
It was Wilson’s first start of the season after Rodgers suffered a torn Achilles tendon in just four games during the Jets’ home opener against the Bills on Sept. 11.
Wilson helped lead the team to a 22-16 overtime win over Buffalo, but struggled in Sunday’s 20-point loss to Dallas.
The Jets traded for Rodgers in April and plan to develop Wilson under the former four-time MVP’s guidance.
The Jets will host the Patriots in Week 3 on September 24th.
