Whenever I’m asked about Zach Wilson‘s future and his chances of succeeding as a starting NFL quarterback, I come back to the exact same thought: He’ll only succeed if he can fix his biggest flaw.
While some will point to his mechanics, I personally think there is enough evidence of quarterbacks succeeding in this league with unconventional mechanics – the Jets’ current starting QB.
No, his biggest flaw is performing under pressure.
I’m not talking about big games, as we haven’t really had a chance to see that yet. I’m talking about being able to process information, work his reads and deliver a pass accurately with defenders in his face.
