Zach Wilson signed for the Miami Dolphins in free agency this offseason. The quarterback is aiming to revive his career and potentially take over as Miami's QB1 for the 2025 season.
On Monday, Wilson spoke to the AP and outlined his plans to push Tua Tagovailoa for the Dolphins' starting role, and fans had wild reactions to the player's comments. Some backed Wilson, likening him to Geno Smith, who won the NFL Comeback Player of the Year in 2022 with the Seattle Seahawks.
"Man is on his Geno Smith Arch," one tweeted.

"It's possible… Gino Smith did it," one wrote.
Some even highlighted that Wilson worked hard during his one season with the Denver Broncos in 2024.
"He can. He was humble and hard working last season under Payton. I think he will get another shot," a third commented.
"Yall hating. Guy gained his confidence in Denver again he’s gonna ball when he gets the chance," another added.
A few others also trolled Wilson for his comments about wanting to be the Dolphins' QB1 next season.
"He can definitely be a starter, but I disagree with the “in this league” part unfortunately," one wrote.
"He’s broken mentally," another added.
The New York Jets drafted Wilson with the No. 2 pick in 2021. However, he struggled during his three seasons with the Green Gang. The Jets traded Wilson to the Broncos in 2024, but he did not play a single game for the franchise last season.
It will be interesting to see whether Wilson can put in the hard work this offseason to potentially add competition for the QB1 role in Miami, which is currently firmly in Tagovailoa's grasp.
