Zach Wilson has accomplished something that was missing last season: He hasn’t been a reason for the Jets to lose games.
The narrative surrounding the Jets’ 2022 season was rather simple: If they merely had competent quarterback play, they’d have qualified for the playoffs instead of finishing 7-10, losing seven of their final eight games, including their final six.
Wilson’s completion percentage is up from his first two seasons. He’s thrown just four TDs to five INTs, though, and the TD number needs to rise if the Jets are going to become a serious contender to make the playoffs.That goes particularly in the red zone, where the Jets are ranked last in the league in TD scoring percentage at 29.4 percent. The Jets also rank last in the NFL in third-down conversion rate at 25 percent.
Including the Kansas City game and wins over the Broncos and Eagles in the past two games, Wilson’s completion percentage is 69.4 and he’s thrown two TDs and only one INT. Trust from the coaching staff builds with better performances like those.“We’re not trying to hide Zach at all; we’re letting him play football and the play designs and the game plan is one that is for a quarterback we trust,” Saleh insisted.
