Other than learning what it feels like to be sacked, or throwing to receivers who can't properly run routes, what else does he have to gain?
If the Jets decide to redshirt him they should make sure the partially torn labrum in his left shoulder is repaired as well. There's no point in leaving it alone if he's not going to miss playing time by repairing it. Partially torn labrum in the off-shoulder is one of those injuries you can live with right up to the moment that it fully tears and you are on IR and surgery bound whether you want to or not.
Ummmm, facing nfl defenses in a live game environment. Ummmmm, building repore with his receivers and running backs. Ummmm, learning how to run an offense in the NFL and adjust to live defenses at the line.
And you have honestly seen dramatic progress in these areas that would be disrupted with an extended break designed for him to heal, and rejoin a team next year with potentially better players?
There are 11 games to go. Sit Zach for a few of them regardless, but if he's healthy in a few weeks, he needs to play because we need to know whether we should look for another QB next offseason to at least compete with him.
Was good to see no interceptions today from Wilson - that's about the only positive I can take from today's game
Maybe I'm an optimist (definitely not), but I thought the offense looked decent for the time he was out there today. The injury came on a pay he got them to the one yard line on a PI. there were more check downs. Seemed like he made adjustments.
