Zach Wilson Impresses in Denver Broncos’ Preseason Finale, Leaving Fans to Blast New York Jets
Zach Wilson’s impressive outing in the Denver Broncos’ final preseason game has left fans furious with the New York Jets, who they believe failed to bring out the best in the quarterback during his time with the team.
Wilson, who was traded to the Broncos earlier this year after a disappointing three-year stint with the Jets, made a strong case for the backup quarterback spot behind rookie Bo Nix. In Sunday’s preseason finale against the Arizona Cardinals, Wilson drove Denver on four scoring drives, leading the team to a 38-12 victory.

In his most extensive action this summer, Wilson scrambled for 21 yards and threw a 46-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Johnson, showcasing his skills and leaving fans to wonder what could have been if he had received better support from the Jets.
Fans took to social media to express their frustration with the Jets, accusing them of mishandling Wilson’s talent. One fan wrote, “I will never forgive the New York Jets for what they did to Zach Wilson.” Another posted, “I mean, I was told that everything last year was Zach Wilson’s fault and he’d be out of the league by now. I guess maybe Sean Payton knows more about football than brain-dead idiots on Jets Twitter and the Jets media.”

Wilson’s performance has sparked a heated debate about the Jets’ handling of his career, with many fans believing that he was not given the necessary support to succeed. As one fan put it, “Zach Wilson just needed to not get drafted by the Jets lol because the talents there.”
Wilson finished the game 16 of 25 for 251 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions, solidifying his case for the backup quarterback spot behind Nix. Despite his impressive outing, Wilson is expected to play second fiddle to Nix, who has already been confirmed as Sean Payton’s starter for the coming season.
As the Broncos prepare for the upcoming season, fans are left to wonder what could have been if the Jets had given Wilson the support he needed to thrive. One thing is certain, however: Wilson has finally found his footing in Denver, and fans are excited to see what the future holds for the talented quarterback.
