Jets fans will crack up laughing as Dolphins realize how terrible Zach Wilson is

The NY Jets have had to endure some ridiculous takes over the last few years from those who believe all-time bust and former No. 2 overall pick Zach Wilson can eventually be a solid NFL quarterback, as they just assumed that Wilson getting out of Jets green would unlock his full potential.

After playing as many snaps as you and I with the Denver Broncos in 2024, Wilson signed a deal with the Miami Dolphins to be the backup behind Tua Tagovailoa. The funniest part of this move for Jets fans is that Wilson has apparently found himself demoted to the third string role.

Tagovailoa, who is leading the NFL in interceptions for a six-win Dolphins team, was benched by embattled head coach Mike McDaniel. Rather than roll Wilson out for Week 16 against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Dolphins will rely on seventh-round rookie Quinn Ewers.

Wilson couldn't even beat out a player who went from a first-round talent to a seventh-round pick in one season due to an inconsistent collegiate finale at Texas. After this decision, it might be tough to imagine a scenario where any team gives Wilson a role higher than QB3 again.

The arm talent and escapability have never been questions for Wilson, but McDaniel's repeated viewings of Wilson in practice have likely confirmed that he has not improved in the two big areas that haunted him when he was struggling as a member of New York.

Wilson plays with an alarming lack of timing and rhythm in the pocket, and there may be no offense in the league that is more predicated on timing than what McDaniel is running in Miami. McDaniel would be tearing his hair out watching Wilson try to operate his very specific scheme.

Second, Wilson has accuracy issues brought on by mechanics that seem to come and go. Ewers isn't exactly Drew Brees in the pocket, but McDaniel seems to have decided that the sidearming former Longhorn is more effective when it comes to delivering the ball accurately and on time than Wilson is.

Perhaps now, Jets fans will finally be free of the Wilson fans who claim that three teams in three years are incapable of realizing his genius. If Ewers ends up playing well in the final three games and Wilson never sniffs the field, his pro career will be even more difficult to continue.
