If Zach Wilson isn’t going to take responsibility for his actions and possibly lose the locker room in the process, then he shouldn’t be assured of being the starting QB going forward.
On Monday, Jets HC Robert Saleh told reporters that they are “keeping everything on the table” when asked about the team’s quarterback situation.
In fact, he wouldn’t commit to him being the starter for their next matchup against the Bears.
“Jets’ HC Robert Saleh told reporters that he’s not committing to QB Zach Wilson as his starting QB for Sunday’s game vs. the Bears.”
“We have to look at what’s best for this organization and team,” Saleh said, per Zack Rosenblatt.
The Jets could turn to either Mike White or Joe Flacco if they were to bench Wilson. Saleh admitted that Wilson could do a better job of this, but he doesn’t think Wilson has lost the locker room.

“I do think he’s the ultimate competitor. He wants to win as much as anybody. It means so much to him. Can he be better in front of you guys, yea, of course, he can. But I don’t think it’s indicative of how he feels,” Saleh said, per Antwan V. Staley.
Wilson has come under criticism for not taking accountability for the team’s offensive performance this past Sunday after he tossed just 77 yards on the day.
In 2022, Wilson has appeared in seven games for the Jets and completed 55.6 percent of his passes for 1,279 yards, four touchdowns and five interceptions. He also has 94 yards rushing and a touchdown.
