Zach Wilson isn’t ready. The 24-year-old, third year quarterback, and the No. 2 overall pick by the New York Jets in the 2021 NFL Draft, is not ready to be an effective starter in the league.

He has played in 25 career games as a professional. Last Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots at MetLife Stadium was start No. 24 for Wilson. Ideally, it would be his last for most, if not all of the remainder of this season. However, the Jets’ circumstances dictate that Wilson remains as their first string QB until the team can acquire a more viable player at the position.
Rodgers will not return this season. As of today, neither will any semblance of a Jets team that could’ve been a champion. They defeated the Bills 22-16 in overtime and since then lost 30-10 to the Dallas Cowboys and 15-10 to the Patriots. The Jets are statistically the worst offense in the league.
“Right now he is the best player, he’s the one who gives us the best chance to win. That’s the cleanest answer I can give you,” said Saleh after Sunday’s loss regarding Wilson’s status.
