And the most dramatic change for 2023 will come at quarterback, which is positively stunning considering that the Jets invested the No. 2 overall draft pick in Zach Wilson before last season.<\/p>\n<p>Coming off of a rookie year for both Wilson and Jets head coach Robert Saleh in 2021 in which Wilson was 3-10 and the Jets were 4-13, this season was always going to be about Wilson and his development.

Saleh has no choice but to take that public stance.<\/p>\n<p>But none of those things seems to be true. There\u2019s simply been too little evidence of it.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"no\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm\/?e=NYPH3805491114&amp;light=true\" width=\"100%\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>On Monday, Saleh conceded, \u201cWe definitely need better play from that position. The play hasn\u2019t been what we want it to be, [but] that doesn\u2019t mean that it can\u2019t get to where we want it to be.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Mike White was thought to be an answer for Wilson\u2019s shortcomings, but the reality is that White, who struggled in Seattle, appears to be exactly who the Jets thought he was when they signed him as an insurance backup: an insurance backup.<\/p>\n<p>When you peel away all the adoration for White and his terrific story of determination and toughness, he\u2019s 2-5 as an NFL starter with eight TDs and 12 INTs. As much as Wilson\u2019s struggles have been scrutinized, White has led the Jets to just one TD in his last 23 possessions.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/1453672395.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Jets\" class=\"wp-image-25214557\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/1453672395.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/1453672395.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/1453672395.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Mike White<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Saleh did what he could to make the argument that Wilson simply needs time, using Giants quarterback Daniel Jones as an example.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>\u201cThis is Year 4 for him and he\u2019s having a remarkable year and flashing all the things that made him a top-five pick [actually No. 6 overall],\u2019\u2019 Saleh said. \u201cIt takes time. It takes time to get these guys [developed] and for them to see the amount of reps they need.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe easy answer is, \u2018Well, just get rid of him and go get somebody new.\u2019 The hard part is to stay true to your conviction and continue to develop a young man who you know can be capable of doing anything. But that comes with time.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the thing, though: Saleh doesn\u2019t have a lot of time. He\u2019ll be entering his third season with the Jets in \u201923 and, with the strong core of a roster the Jets have, anything short of a playoff berth and it\u2019s highly possible his job will be in jeopardy.<\/p>\n<p>This makes it impossible to believe the Jets quarterback room won\u2019t be completely different in \u201923. Veteran Joe Flacco almost surely will retire. White is a free agent and probably should be re-signed at a reasonable price. And Wilson, until he proves otherwise, is damaged goods.<\/p>\n<p>This makes it impossible to believe the Jets won\u2019t bring in a veteran like pending free agent Jimmy Garoppolo this offseason. Garoppolo, while not the end-all, be-all quarterback, is a proven winner who\u2019s familiar with the Jets\u2019 offensive system since it\u2019s essentially the 49ers\u2019 system.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t take an NFL expert to see that mere competent play at the quarterback position this season and the Jets would already have locked up their first playoff berth in 12 years by now.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/122222Jets058CW.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Jets\" class=\"wp-image-25214559\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/122222Jets058CW.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/122222Jets058CW.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/122222Jets058CW.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/122222Jets058CW.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Zach Wilson<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Charles Wenzelberg \/ New York Pos<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Can you imagine what the Jets\u2019 record would be this season with Daniel Jones at quarterback?
