Jets’ struggles spark fan frustration, raise doubts about QB choices

The New York Jets have been called a “dumpster fire” by former Broncos lineman Mark Schlereth, attributing the mess to Aaron Rodgers. After firing their head coach, the Jets seem to have only worsened, raising questions about the criticism aimed at Zach Wilson. Schlereth pointed out that statistically, the Jets performed better with Wilson last year.
Now, fans are burning Rodgers’ jerseys after a disappointing loss to the Patriots. The Jets’ strategy of bringing in former Packers like Davante Adams and Allen Lazard hasn’t paid off. Adams has just 7 receptions for 85 yards, while Lazard has excelled with 412 yards and 5 touchdowns.
Under Rodgers, the Jets have lost five straight games, prompting many to wonder if they were better off with Wilson at the helm. The Jets’ future looks bleak as they continue to struggle.

Was Zach Wilson performing better as the Jets’ quarterback?

Last year, when Aaron Rodgers injured his Achilles, Zach Wilson stepped in and led the Jets to a 4-4 start. Now, with the 4x MVP playing, the Jets are 2-6. Let that sink in.

Even with stars like Davante Adams, Garrett Wilson, and Breece Hall, the Jets have lost their last two games. It looks like the team did better under Robert Saleh, and since he left, they’ve quickly declined, suggesting that the owner made a rushed decision without thinking about the consequences.
