Eagles offense effective against Jets run defense: Despite missed opportunities and emotional response, Jets defense held strong, but offense struggled to keep up.
While emotions ran high following the Jets' loss to the Eagles, the game plan executed by the Eagles' offense was effective, particularly against the Jets' run defense. The Jets had opportunities to score, but missed chances, such as an open CJ Uzomah for a touchdown and a drop by Corey Davis. The decision to bring in Mike White instead of Joe Flacco at halftime may not have changed the outcome of the game. The Jets' coaching staff made a good call activating White given Wilson's performance and potential long-term prospects. Ultimately, the Jets' defense put up a valiant effort, bending but not breaking, but the offense struggled to keep up. The loss may lead to further discussions about the future of Zach Wilson and the potential draft pick the Jets may receive in return. Regardless of the outcome, it's important to remember that football is a team sport, and individual performances, whether good or bad, are just one piece of the puzzle.
Should the Jets keep struggling QB Zach Wilson?: The Jets could save money by trading Zach Wilson, but the speaker believes it's worth giving him another year to develop, citing historical examples and the pressure of playing in New York as potential factors in his struggles.
Despite the high cost of keeping a struggling quarterback like Zach Wilson on the team, the speaker believes that giving him another year to develop is a better option than trading him for a late-round pick.

The speaker also expresses skepticism about the potential value of a late-round pick and suggests that Wilson could still turn things around with another year of development. The speaker also mentions Mike White and Jimmy Garoppolo as potential answers for next year, but expresses uncertainty about the situation. Overall, the speaker's perspective is that it's worth taking a gamble on a high draft pick and giving him another year to prove himself, rather than cutting bait and starting over with a new player.
