This is not going to be a popular take, not what you want for Christmas under your tree or in your stocking.
The Jets should start Zach Wilson at quarterback for the final two games of the season — even if Mike White is medically cleared to play with his cracked ribs.on Thursday night essentially eliminated the Jets from the playoffs. Even if they aren’t mathematically eliminated this weekend, their playoff chances are “farfetched,” head coach Robert Saleh conceded Friday.
Saleh is in an impossible situation, because he wants — needs — to win games. He has watched a 7-4 start evaporate to 7-8 thanks to the 0-4 free fall. And to make the argument that Wilson gives the Jets a better chance to win than White does is folly.That leaves Saleh in the difficult and delicate spot of deciding whether it’s more important to win games the next two weeks or try to find out more about Wilson … unless Saleh and the Jets believe they know enough and have seen enough.
Asked on Friday if he still believes Wilson is his “quarterback of the future,” Saleh danced around the question.
