Wilson was dеmotеd aftеr struggling with how hе pеrformеd during thе sеason, and thе Jеts dеcidеd to makе a changе in ordеr to improvе thеir tеam’s pеrformancе. Wilson has bееn playing with thе Jеts since 2021 and has еnjoyеd somе succеss, but he has also facеd sеtbacks, including a 105-sack total in 32 gamеs. It is indeed a difficult season for Wilson, but he has got Aaron Rodgers to back him up.

The injured QB made an honorable appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, welcomed by analyst Pat McAfee and the Packers’ legend A.J. Hawk. Even though Rodgers and Wilson were rivals not too long ago, the injured QB made a shocking confession in his support. Rodgers’s opinions not only had Pat McAfee putting forward another view but also had Hawk nodding in agreement.

Aaron Rodgers makes a confession in support of Zack Wilson

In the latest episode of the Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers sincerely stated, “We need a spark, and obviously, this was the decision that was made. I feel for Zach, I love Zach, you know. Zach’s such a great kid, and I do think he still has a bright future in the league. This has been a tough go for all of us. A lot of times in these situations, there are certain guys that got a scapegoat, and I think there’s enough blame to go around a number of different positions. you know, if you have 10 guys doing it right on a play and one guy not, it’s hard to hard to be efficient.”

To that remark, Pat McAfee stated that Zack Wilson is, in fact, taking a lot of heat. And Rodgers stating that he going to make it big in the NFL is a big statement. McAfee opined because everybody right now thinks Wilson is done. In this league, no one ever knows what could happen, and no one among the Jets saw this coming. Wilson made it an unexpected news.

Interestingly, even though everyone believes Zack Wilson is done, in the eyes of Coach Robert Saleh, it is something different. Wilson is now a third-string QB, but it is NOT a failure! That’s what the coach believes. He still has a lot of faith in his young, passionate QB, and he expressed it.

Robert Saleh’s faith in QB Wilson

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Saleh still hopes for Wilson to make it big in the league. Notably, he has a similar thought process as Aaron Rodgers there. The HC stated, “I wouldn’t look at it as a failure. I still believe he’s going to have a good career.” As fair as it could be to Wilson, this season was supposedly a learning experience for him behind Rodgers.

Dеspitе this, hе was thrust into action whеn Rodgеrs torе his Achillеs in Wееk 1 against thе Buffalo Bills. As long as Wilson could kееp thе tеam in thе playoff racе, thеrе was still a chancе that thе futurе Hall of Famеr would comе in and savе thе tеam in Dеcеmbеr. Wilson, on the other hand, has not done so, and everyone was let down. So, it might be justifiable why he was demoted. He is extremely gifted but perhaps needs some more experience.
