New York Jets coach Robert Saleh defended quarterback Zach Wilson as scrutiny of his ability to play in the NFL increases after another loss.
New York Jets coach Robert Selah came to the defense of quarterback Zach Wilson after his latest poor performance.
The second pick in the 2021 draft has had a rough start to the season. He was pushed back into the starting QB role when Aaron Rodgers suffered a torn Achilles in their opener, ending his season before it really began.
The second pick in the 2021 draft has had a rough start to the season. He was pushed back into the starting QB role when Aaron Rodgers suffered a torn Achilles in their opener, ending his season before it really began. Through the first three games, Wilson has the lowest passer rating for a quarterback this season, with 57.0. His performance in the Jets’ loss to the New England Patriots was disappointing. He completed just 50% of his passes for 157 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions.
He also received three sacks and had a lackluster passer rating of 61.9. Despite the criticism, coach Saleh still stands by the 24-year-old player and said he is not responsible for the team’s second consecutive defeat. “He is our undisputed midfielder,” Saleh told reporters. “As long as he continues to show how he prepares, how he trains and even in these matches, he’s not the reason why we lost yesterday.

Garrett Wilson made his feelings clear about the Jets’ offense after a heated exchange with Zach Wilson
The New York Jets star walked away from the coach during an angry sideline exchange
“It’s always a team effort. As long as he continues to improve – and I know he hasn’t, from a goalscoring point of view it doesn’t show – he will be our midfielder. If Wilson’s poor performance continues, he will have the worst three-year stretch for a quarterback in NFL history. He was loudly booed by Jets fans as the pressure on the player continued to increase.
“Yeah, it was frustrating, it was frustrating not being able to move the ball,” Wilson said after the game. “It is what it is. Our defense was struggling on a few stops and I felt like it was time to go, time to go, time to score some points. So, yeah, I’m just trying to figure out how we can attack.”
The Jets were unable to win any of the games
“We’ve just got to be better,” he said. “We’ve got to be better as coaches to give our guys the opportunity to make plays. We’ve got to be better as players when we get the opportunity to make those plays. But it’s all the way down.
“We’ve just got to figure out these answers.” One of the toughest matches of the Jets’ season will take place in the early hours of October 2 when they host defending champions the Kansas City Chiefs, who thrashed the Chicago Bears 41-10 on Sunday.
