EAST RUTHERFORD—Perhaps the best thing to come out of the Zach Wilson benching is this: The New York Jets are an organization that will not remain stubborn. There’s a general manager, a head coach, and perhaps an owner that will not continue with a kid quarterback when the team has a shot to compete now.
It’s tough to bench a No. 2 overall pick, but it had to be done, and the fact that the Jets did exactly that shines an impressive light on the future.
So, Zach Wilson is out, whereas Mike White is in.
