Week 15 in the NFL clarified proved that Russell Wilson should stay seated while also making Robert Saleh’s QB decision much more clear.
Quarterback play is life or death in the NFL. The right guy can take you to the promise land. The wrong guy can sink all your hopes.
By Week 15, most teams already have an idea about who their quarterback is or isn’t. Even so, some guys still deserve the bench treatment at this point in the season.
For some, being re-benched is the move. For others, accepting their limitations is key.
NFL QBs who deserve to be benched after Week 15
Zach Wilson, Jets
The moment Mike White is healthy, Zach Wilson should go back to being benched. Unfortunately for Jets fans, that probably won’t be until Week 17 because the game against the Jaguars is on Thursday night and White won’t be fully healed from his broken ribs.
Wilson is just too reckless. His decision-making is poor. His accuracy in key moments is suspect. His ceiling may be higher than White or even Joe Flacco on his best day, but his best days don’t come often enough and they regularly come with a helping of madness to tamp them down.
Feast or famine isn’t what the Jets need as they pursue the playoffs. And it’s pretty clear that’s all Wilson is at this point.
