The New York Jets will only go as far as Zach Wilson takes them. How many times this off-season have you heard that phrase? I’ve probably muttered it myself more than a couple of times. But what exactly does that mean?
Obviously, Wilson needs to play better if the Jets hope to reach the playoffs, but how much better? For a sport that consists of an initial roster of 53 players, a lot of responsibility is hoisted onto the shoulders of the signal caller.
I was asked yesterday what Zach’s stat line would look like if the Jets hoped to make the playoffs and I spouted off a random bunch of numbers that sounded logical, but then I stopped to think if there was any way to really get a better understanding of what his stat line would need to look like.
