Imagine this scenario: The struggling New York Jets, losing a grip on their playoff hopes, turn their season around with Zach Wilson coming alive over the final three games.
That's the dream for the Jets anyway. Their unexpected entry in the playoff race this season has been overshadowed at times by the struggles of their second-year quarterback. Instead of a young star leading them to a winning record, the team benched Wilson because they figured Mike White was an upgrade. Then they had to turn back to Wilson when White got injured.
Wilson started last week against the Detroit Lions and the stats looked fine. He had 317 yards and two touchdowns. He showed off his arm talent on a few plays. But the same old problems persist.in which he seemed to completely misread the coverage. And he simply has not been accurate enough, especially on easy throws that are a must for any competent NFL quarterback. Wilson was off target on 35.
The Jets never had a shot at Lawrence, so it's not like they can regret passing on him or anything. But one team has a bright future with an exciting young quarterback. The Jets have a lot of questions.The Jaguars have won three of four and suddenly find themselves in the AFC South race. They're 6-8, one game behind the 7-7 Tennessee Titans, but beat the Titans once and have a Week 18 matchup with Tennessee at home.
