New York Jets make right call on quarterbacks but could be playing with fire

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- New York Jets coach Robert Saleh made the right quarterback decision on Wednesday because Mike White is better than Zach Wilson right now (key words), and the whole world knows it. Oh, yeah, Wilson's sprained right knee still isn't 100% -- or so they say.

Saleh is handling this correctly because it shows he's running a meritocracy and it sends a message to the struggling Wilson, who was silver-plattered the starting job as soon as he was drafted second overall in April. Sorry, kid, you're not on scholarship anymore.
