He did not throw a touchdown pass in Sunday\u2019s 27-22 loss to the Vikings but showed poise in the fourth quarter and made some gutsy throws to put the Jets in position to win the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Jets are 7-5 and are in a playoff race with five games left. White has thrown for more than 300 yards in each of his two starts. There is no way Saleh is benching White for Wilson if things stay on the same track, but Saleh publicly is still supporting Wilson, who the Jets selected No. 2 overall in 2021. It may be a way to bolster Wilson\u2019s confidence or maybe the organization does not want to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ear like it has given up on the player they thought would be their franchise quarterback.

You just take advantage of your opportunity and you do the best that you can. We\u2019ve got all the faith in Mike.

We have three pretty damn good ones.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When the Jets face the Bills on Sunday, the plan is for White to be the starting quarterback, Joe Flacco to be his backup and Wilson to be inactive again, the same order the quarterbacks have been in for the past two weeks since Saleh benched Wilson after a loss to the Patriots.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/mike-white-jets-success-starter.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"New York Jets quarterback Mike White (5) throws a pass\" class=\"wp-image-24905386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/mike-white-jets-success-starter.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/mike-white-jets-success-starter.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/mike-white-jets-success-starter.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Mike White seems entrenched as the Jets starter, though coach Robert Saleh wants to get Zach Wilson back in the lineup.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP Photo<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As for the future beyond this season, Saleh would not touch that. He was asked if he was open to the idea that White just might be better than Wilson and could be the long-term answer at the position.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne week at a time, guys,\u201d Saleh said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>White completed 31 of 57 passes on Sunday for 369 yards and had two interceptions. It was not his best game, but he also showed command and led the team down the field in the fourth quarter with a chance to win the game twice.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe made some big-time throws in crucial situations,\u201d veteran left tackle Duane Brown said. \u201cI thought he kept his poise and his talk in the huddle was always positive. He\u2019s always really talking confidence to the offense. We never lost faith. There was never a moment in time that we thought we were going to lose that game. He took some big hits as well and got up and brushed himself off and made some big-time throws right after that. Really proud and happy with the way he\u2019s been performing.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
