I see it literally everywhere.

https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/compare-zach-wilson-and-mac-jones-this-season

Mac has him beat in nearly every category, most of them by a big margin, and does it with perhaps the worst supporting cast in the league. By what metric is Wilson supposed to be better?

Edit: worse*, and yes, they both suck

Alright, since most aren't really answering the question, both suck, but:

I disagree that zach Wilson has a superior supporting cast. If we ranked the team recievers, itd be Garrett Wilson, bourne, pop, henry, juju, then probably lazard. Give me the depth over the one elite talent, much easier to take the elite talent away when theres no secondary threat. I'd easily take the Pat's offensive line over the jets. And running backs are a lot closer than name recognition. Breece looks great, but is just now looking closer to 100% after the acl. Dalvin cook looks bad. Meanwhile, rhamondre and zeke both are looking good, and staying fresh while splitting carries. Both can do everything a rb needs to, and compliment each other well. I'd call rb a push.

I'd also argue coaching in the Pat's have been very superior. The jets rarely have recievers running free. Obrian has been super underrated this year because mac can't hit an open reciever.

And then to the qb themselves. Zach wilson has the physical talent to make every throw. Mac jones cant throw anything but a wobble to the sideline. Wilson is inaccurate on his short passes. Mac is much more accurate there, but also inconsistent. Both decision making sucks.

If I had to choose, give me the guy with the tools and hope we could fix the mental side of it. Both will be backups very soon.
