Zach Wilson: Jets coach Robert Saleh refuses to confirm if struggling quarterback will remain starter after hauling him off in third quarter of heavy defeat by the Bills

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh left the door open for a change at quarterback after taking Zach Wilson in Sunday’s loss to the Buffalo Bills.

Wilson endured another miserable night as the Jets fell to a 32-6 loss in Buffalo, completing just seven of 15 passes for 81 yards and a touchdown with an interception.

Amazingly, the former No. 2 draft pick also failed to complete a single pass to a wide receiver that night before being pulled late in the third quarter and replaced by veteran Tim Boyle.

Saleh has often jumped into defense for Wilson, who was promoted to starting quarterback after Aaron Rodgers tore his Achilles tendon in the reverse matchup against the Bills in September.

But after Sunday’s latest dismal performance, the Jets coach declined to confirm whether he will remain a starter going forward.

When asked about Wilson’s failure to select a wide receiver in Buffalo, Saleh admitted, “I don’t have an answer for that.”

‘Of course we will go back again to watch the whole band. Whether it’s separation, being more decisive, protecting… like I said, none of it was good.”

After being benched twice last season as the first-choice quarterback, Wilson’s future in New York could hinge on Saleh’s team selections in the final seven games of the regular season.

“We have to take responsibility, and that starts with me – and I can’t do that,” he admitted on Sunday.

However, in typical fashion, Saleh also voiced his support for the struggling quarterback and once again emphasized that their problems run much deeper within the roster.

“Like I said to Zach on the sidelines, it’s not just him,” he added. “It’s easy to point the finger at the quarterback, but it’s pretty easy to see. You’ve missed protection, you’ve dropped balls, you’ve missed routes.

‘Now of course he has to get better. There are things he could have done much better, but that applies to everyone now.’
