The primary story emanating from Zach Wilson‘s New York Jets debut was the extreme lack of support he received. Wilson had a league-high 20% of his catchable pass attempts dropped and was pressured on 51% of his dropbacks, the second-highest rate among qualified quarterbacks in Week 1.
It goes without saying that Wilson will need a better performance from his supporting cast if he is to defeat Bill Belichick, who owns a 25-6 career record against rookie quarterbacks.
The Jets can put Wilson in a favorable position to succeed by accomplishing these three goals.
