00:02 - Spending time with the Jets,

00:04 with the Panthers in training camp

00:06 and then at their complex.

00:08 Talking to the Jets about Zach Wilson,

00:11 they really thought he had what's called a growth mindset.

00:13 You brought up last year

00:15 when he just had a terrible press conference,

00:17 he embarrassed himself.

00:18 He did not understand the responsibilities

00:20 of being a starting quarterback in the National Football League.

00:22 Even if it's not your fault, take responsibility.

00:24 All the great ones take responsibility.

00:27 You wanna be a good start in this league,

00:28 you're gonna have to take it.

00:30 And I give the Jets credit for this.

00:32 They were almost defiant.

00:33 You and I could criticize them all we want

00:35 and so did others,

00:37 about why they would not get a backup plan for quarterback.

00:39 Yes, Trevor Simeon's on the practice squad,

00:41 he was there many years ago,

00:42 but he was not with his coaching staff.

00:44 But the bottom line is,

00:45 Zach Wilson was a second pick overall for a reason.

00:47 He's very gifted.

00:49 Needs to settle down in the pocket like he did last night.

00:52 And the thing that I gave him such credit for

00:53 and where I thought he'd fall,

00:54 and I'll be honest with you,

00:55 when they were down 17-0,

00:57 then 17-2,

00:59 I'm like, this game's over.

01:01 'Cause Wilson hasn't shown the ability to come back.

01:03 But he played it such,

01:04 he played under control.

01:06 And there's a coaching term called investing in completions.

01:10 He took what was there

01:11 and he made some big time NFL throws

01:14 under pressure with the line problems.

01:16 They've had it right and left tackle.

01:18 I give the kid credit.

01:19 You and I are definitely agreeing on this.

01:21 He grew up last night in a big way.

01:22 And under pressure against the reigning Super Bowl champions

01:27 and to keep dueling against Patrick Mahomes,

01:31 are you kidding me?

01:32 Look, anything could happen.

01:33 We know that in the National Football League for real.

01:35 But he absolutely showed he belonged.

01:38 I'm very curious to know how the Jets fans feel

01:41 this week after he had such a great game.

01:43 - Well, he outplayed Mahomes, clearly.
