No. 2 overall pick Zach Wilson is the clearcut favorite to win the Jets‘ starting quarterback job, and barring injury, it should remain that way.
But in all likelihood, there’s a benefit to employing a veteran backup who carries starting experience — if Wilson was to miss some time due to a health-related setback, the Jets would be better off possessing reliable reinforcements.
At the moment, New York employs 2020 fourth-rounder James Morgan and Mike White alongside Wilson in the quarterback room, neither of whom have taken a regular-season snap.
Could another head be added?
