I am two weeks past having extensive ankle surgery. I had a torn tendon on the right side of my right foot👣 that was discovered during surgery couldn't be repaired so had to attach another tendon to the torn to make it stronger. I had to have the Achilles tendon stretched. Then had the heel cut in half for a spacer to be put in. Two weeks in the rehab hospital and it has been the hardest time I've experienced. I've never cried so much! I have no weight bearing on that foot for five to eight weeks. It will be a year for full recovery. I don't play sports. I fell from my niece’s deck two years ago and injured my ankle. I send you all my prayers for a quick recovery!

Jets fan since 1977. I've been on cloud 9 since you decided to come to my team. And it broke my heart when I learned you got injured. I'm not selfishly thinking about my Fandom here. I've been seriously injured on the job before, I'm a truck driver. 6 surgeries and countless hours of PT. So I'm heartbroken that this happened to you. The team will have to find a way to continue. But, what I want is for you to heal and concentrate on your physical therapy. Don't rush it and take how ever long you need to get back if that is what you still want. The team and the city will welcome you back with open arms. New York is a tough place to play for, but at the same time , this city loves our players. We're extremely loyal to our guys. So as a fan, I would love nothing more than to see your return. But if you decide otherwise, the respect we have for you choosing us will never die. J-E-T-S, JETS-JETS-JETS !!

For everyone saying zack has no chance, I point to Alex smith. He was Ryan leaf 2.0, he was Jamarcus before Jamarcus. Every list of biggest busts had Alex at or near the top especially once Aaron started in 08. The 49ers were terrible for a decade and Zach Wilson has never thrown 1 td to 11 interceptions in a season.
