Robert Saleh, Jets Front Office On The Same Page With Zach Wilson

one year ago

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said that his loyalty to quarterback Zach Wilson has sparked speculation that Saleh is being mandated by his superiors to keep Wilson in the lineup amid one of the worst offensive slumps in team history. "No, we're on the same page with that," Saleh said. "So any conspiracy theory that might be out there, we're on the same page." Wilson has struggled since being the second overall pick in 2021, but the team remains committed to his development despite benching him twice last season. Since replacing Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) in the season opener, Wilson hasn't thrown a touchdown pass in four of his seven starts and is ranked 31st out of 32 QBs in total QBR. But the Jets' alternatives are Tim Boyle and Trevor Siemian. "He's doing the best that he can," Saleh said about Wilson. "But, again, he still needs to get better."
