Jets quarterback controversy? Mike White sends a message to Zach Wilson

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- With a big smile, New York Jets coach Robert Saleh declared Mike White will start Thursday night against the Indianapolis Colts.

Easiest quarterback decision ever.

The next one will be more complicated, even though it doesn't have to be.

The unheralded White, on the roster bubble at the start of training camp, delivered a passing performance for the ages Sunday and deserves to stay in the lineup as long as he keeps playing well. The man threw for 405 yards and three touchdowns in their 34-31 win against the Cincinnati Bengals, sparking the offense the way few quarterbacks in their history have done.
