Zach Wilson Has A Worrisome Stat For The Jets This Season
The 2022 season is going well for the New York Jets, a team that hasn’t been a playoff contender for 11 seasons.
However, while the Jets are 6-3 and looking like playoff contenders, they also have some worrisome news.
This comes from their starting quarterback, Zach Wilson.
So what is so worrisome about their starting quarterback in 2022?
NFL Insider Tweets Troublesome Stats For Jets QB
When teams bring pressure on Wilson, he is the worst quarterback in the NFL.
NFL insider Dov Kleiman put out a tweet showing how bad the Jets quarterback is under pressure.
#Jets Zach Wilson is the very worst QB under pressure in the NFL, and it’s not close.
The Jets are winning, but the QB position isn’t really helping.

He’s dead last with QBR, completion percentage, and touchdown to interception ratio when under pressure.
He also notes how the New England Patriots, who the Jets face on Sunday, are third in pressure percentage against quarterbacks.
With this information, it’s easy to see how Wilson will have a tough game against the Patriots.
However, it also shows how it’s the Jets defense who is helping the team win games.
It also shows that if the Jets had a better quarterback under pressure, they might be better than their 6-3 record.
While it is only an assumption, it’s something to consider when looking at the overall performance of the Jets this season.
But if Wilson wants to change this worrisome statistic, he must make better decisions when under pressure.
While it’s easy to say this, it can happen if the Jets put him through some drills to improve these stats.
Until they do this with the young quarterback, he will continue to make costly mistakes that might hurt their playoff chances.
