Zach Wilson's Time Is Up AGAIN
Written By: Spencer Teman, of Swish Tribune
A change is needed at quarterback for the Jets once again. A year ago it was the same situation with the same exact quarterback, but they could not solve the problem. This year they have a better opportunity to address this dilemma and figure it out.
Zach Wilson was the number two pick by the Jets just a couple of years ago and has not nearly lived up to what the Jets were hoping he could be. Sure, he's had a couple of games where he's looked like an average quarterback, but the rest of them have suggested that he doesn't have the skill to be an NFL quarterback.
For some reason though, the coaching staff wants to stick with him at the helm. Writing from the perspective of a frustrated Jets fan, it seems like after every game the coaching staff is making a new excuse up for Wilson and remaining loyal to him miserable performance after miserable performance.
If they continue to stick with him and he doesn't do anything to help this team win, it is going to cost some people their jobs. I hate to say it because I really like him as a coach, but Robert Saleh's seat will continue to get hotter if Wilson remains the quarterback and there is no improvement shown. I wouldn't be surprised if a new coach is brought in next season if this is the case.
Obviously, the Jets suffered an unimaginable event in the first game of the season with Aaron Rodgers going down, but this team is too good to not have a chance at making the playoffs because of bad quarterback play. As I've said time and time again, as long as they have a guy at the helm who is capable of being an average NFL quarterback, nothing spectacular, they are a playoff team.
But Zach Wilson is not an average quarterback, he is a below average quarterback that states that he has "got to be better" and "needs to improve" but none of this has been shown. Throwing check downs to your tight end on 4th and 10 when the game is on the line is not improving, it's just bad quarterback play and it is happening week after week.
The Jets management needs to come in and get another quarterback in the green and white and fast. This team is too good to be absolutely dragged down by the performance of one player. The defense is doing all they can just to get off the field and see the offense suffer three and out after three and out. It absolutely baffles me that possibly a coach's stubbornness could be the reason why he gets fired and not address the obvious situation going on right in front of his eyes every Sunday.
