Robert Saleh said Monday quarterback Zach Wilson is done with the Jets for now, but not forever.
. Joe Flacco will be White’s backup, meaning Wilson will watch the game in street clothes.” Saleh said. “I still think he has a future here. I still think he’s going to be a really good quarterback. He needs time to just kind of sit back and continue the development that we were trying to re-kick-start, if you will, after the New England game. We still have him in our future and in our plans.”
Wilson was inactive for three games that White started after getting benched in favor of White. The Jets then announced Wilson would be White’s backup for the Lions game on Dec. 18 before the doctors would not give White clearance to play with broken ribs and Wilson was forced to start. Wilson started against the Lions and Jaguars and the Jets lost both gamesNow, the question becomes whether Wilson, who was drafted No. 2 overall in 2021, is back at all with the Jets in 2023.
Wilson’s second season in the NFL has been miserable. A preseason knee injury cost him the first three games of the season. He then started seven games before Saleh benched him following a dismal performance in New England that included a postgame press conference in which he failed to take accountability.
Wilson has completed 54.5 percent of his passes this season for 1,688 yards with six touchdowns and seven interceptions. In Thursday’s 19-3 loss to the Jaguars, Wilson went 9 of 18 for 92 yards with an interception and heard the boos from the MetLife Stadium crowd. Saleh benched him in the third quarter in favor of Chris Streveler, the team’s fourth-string quarterback.Despite Wilson’s struggles, Saleh expressed belief in him to turn it around.
“There’s a lot of quarterbacks in this league who have made it out of the dark tunnel,” Saleh said, “and if you look throughout the league more quarterbacks than not have started in the dungeon, if you will, and found their way out to sunlight. We’ve got a lot of confidence in him because of how important this is, what kind of a man he is and how hard he’ll work.
