<\/figure>\n Nearly 10 years after the ButtFumble<\/a><\/span>, a next-generation Jets quarterback is fumbling his job away and coming throughout like a buttface within the course of. There was no escape for the Jets quarterback on Sunday or afterward. Based on stories from Jets insiders equivalent to Rich Cimini, the Jets\u2019 fractured locker room is split alongside the Zach Wilson fault line<\/a><\/span>. Ultimately, the fissure led head coach Robert Saleh to bench the signal-caller for Week 12.<\/p>\n But earlier than that calamity ensued, on ESPN\u2019s Monday Night Football Countdown<\/em> pregame present, Booger McFarland\u2019s remarks about Wilson evading duty for one of many worst outings in 2022 sparked a dialogue about wealth and accountability.<\/p>\n \u201cLet\u2019s understand who this young man is before we ask him to accept accountability,\u201d McFarland stated. \u201cHe\u2019s a young man who grew up with a lot of money. I don\u2019t think he\u2019s ever had to accept accountability. So now on the biggest stage, we want this quarterback to accept accountability.\u201d<\/p>\n Steve Young disagreed vehemently and he could have a degree. McFarland\u2019s pseudo-psychological analysis falls flat. Dragging Wilson\u2019s privileged background into the dialogue felt like a kick to his ribs whereas he was already down. The Wilson household\u2019s wealth \u2014 Zach\u2019s uncle is JetBlue founder David Neeleman \u2014 isn\u2019t an excuse for his mom\u2019s assist of anti-mask conspiracy theories, her unhinged ideas on baby trafficking conspiracies, or her espousing anti-mask ideology throughout a pandemic<\/a><\/span>. It\u2019s no surprise Zach has been accused<\/a><\/span> of sharing her admiration for the alt-right\u2019s political figures who don\u2019t maintain themselves accountable. Unfortunately, the Jets are extra of a meritocracy than the world exterior of it. News got here down this morning that Zach Wilson has been benched<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n Countless humble quarterbacks within the NFL got here from privileged backgrounds. And a number of the NFL\u2019s cockiest quarterbacks got here from humble means. At the identical time, Wilson is shrugging off his low-grade efficiency evaluations, newly benched Jameis Winston is grousing over being benched in New Orleans. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/figure>\n \u201cIt hurts my soul\u2026\u201d grumbled Winston. \u201cI lost my job due to injury, and the policy has always been you don\u2019t lose your job because of injury.\u201d<\/p>\n Who lied to that man?<\/p>\n Winston\u2019s upbringing couldn\u2019t have been extra totally different than Wilson\u2019s, however they\u2019re entitlement twins. Take Winston for example. He\u2019s extra completed than Wilson, however he was additionally credibly accused of sexual assault at Florida State \u2014 Winston and his accuser settled the federal swimsuit<\/a><\/span> \u2014 suspended a recreation for shouting, \u201cf\u2013k her right in the pussy,\u201d was caught on video shoplifting crab legs, then settled a civil swimsuit with an Uber driver<\/a><\/span> who claims he groped her and shouted obscenities at her throughout his experience. His father as soon as opined that the rationale Winston acquired in a lot hassle at FSU was that they didn\u2019t have somebody chaperoning him 24\/7.<\/p>\n For these causes, Winston is lucky to actually have a job within the NFL, a lot much less a beginning one. Just like along with his earlier probabilities, he\u2019s squandered his alternatives. On the sphere, Winston has prevented accountability for his actions since he spearheaded a nationwide championship-winning squad at Florida State. His NFL profession is outlined by how he throws like a degenerate gambler betting his whole bankroll on crimson on the craps desk. Aside from his 14-touchdown, three-interception injury-shortened season in 2021, Winston\u2019s most memorable season was his 30-touchdown, 30-interception (it was 40 touchdowns should you rely his record-breaking seven pick-sixes) remaining season in Tampa Bay the yr earlier than Brady led that very same roster to a Super Bowl. <\/p>\n![\"Jameis](\"https:\/\/i.kinja-img.com\/gawker-media\/image\/upload\/c_fill,f_auto,fl_progressive,g_center,h_80,pg_1,q_80,w_80\/f933ebccc1f3df692d1c7a187b48efb6.jpg)
