I think there is a chance that the Jets will have two developmental QB’s in 2023. Signing White will be a challenge, with all the CAP Restrictions, but White & Wilson combined will have a salary less than 20 million at a time when average starting QB’s salary is over 25 million. I am hoping that Streveler gets a package to help the Jets Short Yardage, and Red zone woes.
The developmental star at WR is Wilson, 10th pick of the draft , but is exceeding all expectations. The running backs, Carter, Knight, & Johnson have developed in the passing game, demonstrating that a check down can be a big play, Zach pay attention. The developmental stars of the Offensive Line has to be Herbig & Max Mitchell, just good coaching. On the Defensive side, Johnson & Michael Clemons have been limited because of a deep defensive line rotation and have shown promise. Their development will enable the Jets to part ways with Carl Lawson in 2023, saving 15 million. The development of Sauce has been simply astounding, great talent, but he has adjusted to the NFL game flawlessly, and at times dominates. A player that is under the radar, that has developed nicely, is Michael Carter 2, giving the Jets three outstanding CB’s in their secondary.
All of these young players are succeeding because of good coaching, culture, and the support from all parts of the organization.

Great piece today
I have absolutely no problem believing that White can be our long-term answer at QB.
And I have no problem believing that some day Zach Wilson will be successful as a NFL QB.
The statements are not mutually exclusive, though I have more faith in statement #1.
I've posted this elsewhere (thanks to Rivka for the stat):
Mike White's RAS (relative athletic score on a scale of 10) was 2.3 at the combine; not good.
Zach Wilson was 7.7
A guy named Brady was 1.5
Success at QB in the NFL is mostly about what's between the ears and in the chest.
Thanks David I really enjoyed this article, you’re the man!
