The New York Jets seem to have a problem brewing between quarterback Zach Wilson and receiver Elijah Moore.
After blowing a lead against the New England Patriots on Sunday, Moore took time to vent his frustration with his QB.
With the second-year receiver getting no catches in Sunday’s game, he took aim at his QB.
The shot taken at Wilson all started from one question.
So what was this question, and what will happen with Moore after his comments?
Moore’s Answer To Question About Chemistry Was A Shot At Wilson
When Moore was asked about his chemistry with Wilson, he responded with: “I don’t know, I don’t get the ball.”

With his zero catches during Sunday’s game, it’s clear he’s not getting the ball.
The game before the team’s matchup with the Patriots saw Moore getting only one catch.
However, the story about the lack of receptions with the young receiver is deeper than what he’s told reporters.
Lack Of Receptions Isn’t Coming From Lack Of Targets
While Moore has 16 receptions this season, Wilson has targeted him 30 times.
With Moore missing nearly half of his targets, it might be the reason behind him having a low number of receptions.
If Wilson can’t trust his young receiver, he won’t look his way as much.
However, with the situation boiling, the Jets need to address these issues.
They need to either get both players on the same page, or trade Moore.
With the trade deadline almost here, the Jets have little time to trade away their young receiver.
