The New York Jets entered the season with high hopes and expectations, but that didn’t last long.
Losing Aaron Rodgers just four plays into the season took a massive toll on their aspirations, even despite getting a much-needed and emotional win in the season opener.
Zach Wilson’s play is once again holding the team back, and even though HC Robert Saleh continues to stick with him and defend him, it’s become painfully evident that they won’t get too far with him behind center.
Even so, star WR Garrett Wilson has a simple message for the fans: Stick with us (via ProFootballTalk).

Unsurprisingly, the Ohio State product has been one of the most affected players, as Wilson’s inability to hit his receivers in stride — or at all — has cost him his projected stellar production.
The Jets defense is lights out, and they have plenty of offensive talent as well, but they can only do so much with the quarterback they have right now.
Likewise, perhaps OC Nathaniel Hackett could revisit the playbook to try and suit it for Wilson’s game, as the current playbook was obviously designed for Rodgers.
It’s still early in the season, and the Jets could turn things around.
But that seems quite unlikely unless they finally decide to dig into the NFL trade market and pursue a suitable replacement.
They play in one of the toughest divisions in the league, and Wilson ranks last or near the bottom in most important quarterback stats through the first three weeks of the season.
