Now, at 1-2, with the Jets season hanging in the balance, there is an idea that is being floated around for the New York Jets.
The New York Jets entered 2023 expecting Aaron Rodgers to lead them to greatness. Then, Aaron Rodgers suffered a devastating Achilles injury on Monday Night Football against the Buffalo Bills.
Now the team is essentially stuck with having Zach Wilson struggle game in and game out. The team made a move this week when they signed quarterback Trevor Siemian to their practice squad. The 31-year-old last played as a backup to Justin Fields with the Chicago Bears in 2022. He made two appearances, including one start with Chicago.
He is clearly not the answer, but where do the Jets go from here?
Many on social media have been calling for the team to make a trade for Dallas Cowboys third-string quarterback Cooper Rush.

Since 2021, Rush has been 5-1 as a starter, completing 59 percent of his passes with eight touchdown passes and four interceptions in 14 games played.
The trade deadline is October 31st, so the Jets would be smart not to wait so long and drop down in the standings as they still have a very talented team that simply lacks competent quarterback play.
The Jets right now essentially have no winning QB on the roster while the Cowboys have two of them.
Wilson is under immense pressure as he prepares to face Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night at MetLife Stadium. This was supposed to be a learning year for the 2021 No. 2 pick, a chance to watch Rodgers and stay out of the spotlight after a tumultuous 2022 season.
The plans changed. In two-plus games, Wilson has completed only 52.4% of his passes for 467 yards, with two touchdowns and four interceptions.
