The New York Jets’ Super Bowl aspirations didn’t last long. After all the talking and the expectations surrounding Aaron Rodgers’ arrival, the legendary gunslinger couldn’t even finish a drive with his new team.

Rodgers suffered a season-ending — and potentially career-ending — Achilles injury early into his debut vs. the Buffalo Bills, and while the team still managed to get a win, there are obviously big concerns about the future.

That’s why HC Robert Saleh made it loud and clear that he has no intention whatsoever to find a replacement for Zach Wilson, stating that they have full trust in the BYU product.

Jets Will Roll With Zach Wilson

ā€œI want to make it very clear, Zach’s our quarterback,ā€ Saleh said. ā€œWe have a lot of faith in Zach. We’re rolling with Zach and excited for him.ā€

ā€œUnder no circumstances is any of this a competition,ā€ the Head Coach added. ā€œThis is Zach’s team and we’re rolling with Zach.ā€

Of course, this could all change if Wilson once again plays himself out of the field. But for now, the Jets will live and die by their former second-overall pick, regardless of the results.
