The New York Jets are the undisputed masters of trying to jam a square block into a round hole. Robert Saleh‘s Jets take it to an unfortunate level.
Take Zach Wilson, for example—a run-and-gun risk-taker with a monster arm and athletic build. His role since drafted by Joe Douglas No. 2 in the 2021 NFL draft has been that of “game manager.”
Well, not exactly.
“Game manager” is the role Saleh would like to see his young quarterback ooze. You see, every bit of public evidence coming out of 1 Jets Drive suggests that Saleh wants Wilson to limit mistakes and just do the bare minimum—en route to supporting his quality defense along the way.
