Jets coach Robert Saleh threw his support behind embattled quarterback Zach Wilson on Wednesday in the strongest terms yet.
Saleh vowed the Jets would develop Wilson “through hell or high water,” and said the benched quarterback needs to clear his head and regain his confidence this offseason.
“It starts with knowing one’s self, call it zen-ish if you want,” Saleh said, “but Zach has got all the talent in the world and we have all the confidence in the world in him, it’s just like what I said – a reset. We’re going to grind with him, we are, and through hell or high water, we’re going to figure out how to get him to where we know he can be.”has become a hot topic around the Jets after he was benched twice in favor of Mike White. It has been a rough season for the 2021 No.
“Go read a book, go do something. Get away from this game, just reset,” Saleh said. “I think the greatest strength and greatest gift you can give yourself as a human is to figure out what’s important to you, what do you value and how can you stick to those values day in and day out. That is the greatest gift you can give yourself, is to discover yourself and I think Zach needs to get away, read a book, and figure that out.
Wilson was benched after a dismal performance in New England in late November that was followed by a bad answer in his postgame press conference. He was the No. 3 quarterback for three weeks while White started. When White suffered broken ribs against the Bills and could not play, Wilson started two games against the Lions and Jaguars. He threw two touchdowns against Detroit but had long stretches of ineffective play.
White returned last week and Wilson is again inactive for games and working with the scout team in practice.“We’re not wavering,” Saleh said. “We believe in the young man. The biggest thing for Zach is it’s not his talent. I want to make sure that we reconnect with Zach and regain his confidence and regain his confidence in himself, in us, in us in him, just all of us. Just to make sure that he is back on track, get his footwork down right, get his mechanics right, get his mind right.
