New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson had a successful preseason debut. Over two drives, he went 6 for 9 with 63 yards, zero touchdowns, zero interceptions, and zero sacks.
That unremarkable stat line masks just how crisp of a debut Wilson had. He looked comfortable and in full control of the offense throughout a remarkably consistent and clean outing.
The biggest aspect of Wilson’s performance that made it so solid was his decision-making. Arguably, he made the right decision on nearly every one of his dropbacks.
There was one third-down incompletion to Corey Davis in which Wilson probably should have scrambled left or checked the ball down to Ty Johnson instead of trying a tight throw over the middle, but it wasn’t the worst decision in the world by Wilson with pressure bearing down (allowed by Dan Feeney) and nothing else open beyond the first down marker.
