Hour 3: Jets Fans Panic Over Russell Wilson Backup Buzz and QB Drama

from Evan & Tiki

The conversation starts with Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber reacting to reports that Russell Wilson could land with the Jets as Geno Smith’s backup, and neither sounds thrilled about it. They break down why the idea feels strange, whether Wilson actually helps the quarterback room, and why the Jets may already be looking ahead to their future franchise quarterback. The debate also turns to rookie Cade Klubnik and whether the young quarterback could eventually grow into a reliable NFL backup or more. The guys also dive into the Yankees’ evolving infield picture with George Lombard Jr. rapidly climbing through the minors, debate potential October roster combinations, and discuss why Brian Cashman may be reluctant to make a major trade. Plus, there is talk about quarterback scouting, draft strategy, Diego Pavia comparisons to Drew Brees, bullpen concerns for the Yankees, and another classic round of chaos between Evan, Tiki, and the callers.
