But the team and specifically the current brain trust has invested so much in him that they're worried to absolutely make the move that spells the death knell on his tenure with the team because, unfair as it may be, if the Jets miss the playoffs and have to finally admit the Zach Wilson pick was a flop, that costs Joe Douglas and probably Robert Saleh their jobs this offseason.
Also, one small aside because I've seen a decent amount of people (not here but overall) make the point of 'what's the point of bringing in Trevor Siemian?'; I don't really understand the people that are actually confused by that because the intentions of the move feel pretty obvious, he was signed to the practice squad to provide depth. On no other team in the NFL would the decision to carry a player of Siemien's pedigree and caliber on said team's practice squad factor in any legitimate QB discussion that didn't involve a (very recent) major injury. The clear and obvious point of signing Siemien was to get a 3rd healthy QB in the QB room as almost every team tries to have, it's not like he's somebody with a legitimate resume stuck behind the boy who can't be benched because it'll cost people jobs.

I understand all of this, but when is enough enough? He's been starting since week 1. It's the same thing every week. Even in victory Wilson looks terrible. In order to win, the defense has to play lights out, and the offense can't turn the ball over. Nothing to do with Zach Wilson's play.
They should have replaced Wilson going into the Chargers game. Now it's too late. Did anyone watch the Giants? DeVito, undrafted free agent actually looked halfway decent. He threw 3 touchdown passes in one game. Wilson has 6 all season.
I think the head coaching job is safe for one more year. I think they want to keep everything in tact for when Rodgers returns next season.
