<p>Whenever a new <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl-t20281" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NFL</strong></a> season is about to begin, all the eyes are on the toppicks from the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-draft-2021-funniest-memes-and-reactions-20210430-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Draft</a> class, and this year is not the exception. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/new-york-jets-t102085" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>New York Jets</strong></a> come from a terrible campaign but are now more optimisticwith No. 2 pick <strong>Zach Wilson</strong>.</p>
<p>The rookie quarterback is one of the many interesting players in his position from the last draft but he already proved in his preseason appearances<strong>why he got one of the highest selections</strong>.</p>
<p>Last weekend against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/green-bay-packers-t97065" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Green Bay Packers</strong></a>,Wilson threw an impressive 128 yards to go 9-11 with two touchdowns and no interceptions, and even <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/aaron-rodgers-t119902" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Aaron Rodgers</strong></a> showed recognition to the Jets’ young sensation.</p>

<h2>Aaron Rodgers praisesJets rookie QB Zach Wilson</h2>
<p>Wilson came from a quieter performance in preseason Week 1 game against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/new-york-giants-t101798" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>New York Giants</strong></a>, but then <strong>he played a pivotal role </strong>in the Jets’23-14 win over the Packers. Two aerial touchdowns and the ability to throw in the pocket were some of the weapons the rookie QB has shown last Saturday.</p>
<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Top-50-greatest-quarterbacks-in-NFL-history-20200522-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Aaron Rodgers</a> didn’t step into the field for the game, so he took time for a short interview during the game where he praised Zach Wilson: <em>“He’s a young kid. <strong>I really like his disposition, his mentality. Hecan throw the heck out of it</strong>. He had a really nice throw when he kind ofbroke the pocket, moved to his right, and threw it down the right sideline. That’s the kind of stuff he’s gonna need to do.”</em></p>

<p><em>“He’s an awesome guy. He definitely doesn’t have to come up to me and say anything. I don’t expect him to, but <strong>it means the world to me that he’s able to come up to me, whatever advice it is. It means a lot to me that he’s just able to reach out.</strong>”</em></p>
<p>There’s definitelya long way to go for Wilson, but to receive the tips and praise from such a high-profile personality in the game is obviously <strong>a huge boost to his confidence</strong>. He mightneed time, but the Jets are hopefulthey made the right call on picking him.</p>

<p>As it usually happens with quarterbacks taken in the first round of the <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nfl-t20281" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFL</a> Draft</strong>, there were some controversial takes on <strong>Zach Wilson</strong>. While some thought he could finally be the savior of the<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/new-york-jets-t102085" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Jets</a>, </strong>others thought he’d be <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/The-25-worst-Draft-busts-in-NFL-history-20200519-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>yet another bust.</strong></a></p>
<p>Wilson sure did enough to impress scouts and fans alike during his stint at BYU. But, as we’ve seen it over and over before, it’s not the same when you have to pad up with the pros and <strong>make the transition to the NFL.</strong></p>
<p>And if we were to judge Wilson by his awful performance in a simulated game, we’d have to say that the Jets are in big trouble. Head coach <strong>Robert Saleh,</strong> however, isn’t concerned at all; and he even compared him to <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/peyton-manning-hall-of-fame-bust-funniest-memes-and-reactions-20210809-0016.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Peyton Manning</a> </strong>and how much he struggled during his rookie season.</p>

<h2>Jets Coach Robert Saleh Opens Up On Zach Wilson’s Terrible Simulated Game</h2>
<p><em>“For most rookies, it’s going to get worse before it gets better,” </em>Saleh said, as quoted by ProFootballTalk. <em>“It is what it is. There’s a lot of things that happen. There’s a reason why being a rookie is hard in this league. There was a Hall of Famer yesterday that was inducted that had a 71 quarterback rating his rookie year. It’s not easy to play quarterback in this league as a rookie. Especially quarterback.<strong> It is going to get worse before it gets better. He’s at that point now where he’s going to be able to stack up days. We got the utmost confidence in him and his ability and his ability to figure out his mistakes, correct them and get to a better place.”</strong></em></p>

<h2>Wilson Acknowledges His Struggles</h2>
<p>Wilson was far from satisfied with his performance. He wasn’t able to lead the offense to the red zone vs. the Jets’ first-team defenseand only completed half of his passes. The worst part of it is that it happened <strong>in front of thousands of fans:</strong></p>
<p><em>“Not great,”</em> he told ESPN.<em> “I have high expectations for myself and this offense. I have to lead the guys and I have to make better decisions. That’s why this isn’t Game 1; that’s why we’re doing this. I understand that.<strong> Of course I’m going to be frustrated with myself, but I’m going back to the film room and find out what I can learn.”</strong></em></p>
<p>You can always expect some growing pains for rookies, especially quarterbacks. The key will be to bounce back and silence the critics, and Zach Wilson looks <strong>like the kind of guy who can do that.</strong></p>
