Jets coach Robert Saleh was not prepared to say who his starting quarterback will be Thursday against the Jaguars, but he did defend probable starter Zach Wilson.
“The frustrating thing is this kid is going to be a good quarterback,” Saleh said. “The NFL and this new instant-coffee world that we’re in just does not want to give people time. We look at him and he is just nit-picked with a fine-tooth comb, everything he does.”
“He did a lot of really good things,” Saleh said. “We’re going to try our best to try to focus on the things that he did good and make sure that we kind of bring that to life and we’ll continue to work on the things he needs to improve on.” Robert Saleh was impressed with the ‘fortitude’ that Zach Wilson showed in his return.
“He came out in the second half and I think we all agree he was missing on some throws, he was missing on some reads,” Saleh said. “But for him to kind of get himself back on track, I thought that was really good by him and a big step in the direction he’d been struggling with in the past. It just shows at least some maturation, in my mind, with regards to mental fortitude in terms of getting back on track and finding a way to finish the game strong.
