The Jets (4 Germain Ifedi Jersey -8) benched quarterback for in hopes it would improve the offense, but Boyle was then replaced by on Sunday against the . On Tuesday, the Jets released Boyle and signed Brett Rypien from the Seahawks practice squad. Now, the Jets are reportedly considering another quarterback change.According to, the Jets are leaning toward going back to Wilson.

Rodgers repeatedly said he "loves" Wilson and had strong words for whoever the source was."When you use sources and whether intentional or unintentional to try and a sa sinate someone's character like that report does for Zach I have a real hard time with that. ... You're basically saying that this kid is quitting on the team and doesn't wanna play and is giving the middle finger to the organization," Rodgers said. Rodgers added that he does not understand why someone would think it is OK to become a source in that matter. He said Shaquem Griffin Jersey the team needs to investigate and figure out where the news is coming from, so it does not continue to happen."What is your motivation to try to bury someone like that? And that's a problem with the organization, we need to get to the bottom of whatever this is coming from and put a stop to it privately ... I think its chicken shit at it's core and I think it has no place in a winning organization."Rodgers noted that he does not want to speak for Wilson and that the former first round pick will get to speak for himself this week. " Wilson's gone through a lot of shit in the last three years and he has every right to be frustrated and disappointed about it. I think he's done a good job of standing up and taking accountability this year when it's been his part to do it," the winning quarterback said.Head coach Robert Saleh also spoke up for Wilson. Saleh told reporters he has not decided on a starting quarterback for Week 14 vs. the , but that Nick Vannett Jersey Wilson "wants the ball.""Let's be clear. If he was reluctant to play, guys, he wouldn't be here," Saleh said. "All right? I actually coincidentally just got done speaking with him, he came in about half hour ago and we had a really good conversation. The young man wants the ball, he wants to start, he believes he's the best quarterback in the room and best quarterback for this team and the guy who gives us the best chance to win. And I'll tell you guys the same thing I told him, I appreciate it, I appreciate the fact that he wants to play. I'm just not there yet." NYJ QB #2 CMP%59.2YDs1944TD6INT7YD/Att6.06 Wilson was officially benched for the second time in as many years following New York' Jason Myers Jersey s 32-6 lo s to the in Week 11. The Jets offense was in a terrible slump, as they became the first team since 2009 to record fewer than 10 offensive touchdowns through 10 games. Boyle was declared the new starter, but in three total games played with two starts, he's thrown for 360 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions. He was replaced by Siemian in the middle of Sunday's eventual 13-8 lo s to the Falcons.Wilson said he understood his most-recent benching, and that he did not feel like the scapegoat for the offense's struggles."I don't think I was scapegoated. Absolutely not," Wilson said,. "You've got to look at the situation. We're not scoring touchdowns. Regardle s of what I'm doing, my job as a quarterback is to help us score points. I can sit here and say I've had a bunch of growth and tremendous whatever this year, but if you're not scoring touchdowns, it doesn't matter. It really doesn't. And I get that." This season, Wilson has gone 3-6 as the starter, and thrown six touchdowns compared to seven interceptions while averaging 194.4 pa sing yards per game. Despite his struggles, Wilson is not reason for why the Jets have underperformed. New York's offensive line has been hit hard by injuries, and performed like one of the worst in the league, while the pa s-catchers have been inconsistent as well. Ugo Amadi Jersey
