Jet’s QB Joe Flacco, seen on the field in an undated photo. https:\/\/jetsxfactor.com\/<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAnd let’s assume that quarterback Joe Flacco, the 37-year-old dinosaur undergoing a rejuvenation that has him at +15000 on BetMGM’s MVP board, is the main force behind this unlikely event. Will that be the end of the road for the quarterback who currently sits third in most passing yards by any NFL quarterback, even leading MVP favorite Josh Allen of Buffalo?<\/p>\n
These are the questions worth pondering as the work week ends in New York, with the Jets set to go one of two ways: a 1-2 team with plenty of time to recover as injured quarterback Zach Wilson gets ready to take over for the final 14 games.<\/strong><\/p>\nOr a 2-1 team that has had Flacco keeping up this Fountain of Youth thing and has the Jets one game over .500 heading into a Week 4 showdown with the Pittsburgh Steelers. That team is reeling following their 29-17 loss Thursday night to Cleveland, where they managed only three second-half points.<\/p>\n
Ah, a quarterback controversy. Wouldn’t that be something for a franchise that could not even win a single September game for the past three seasons?<\/p>\n
What Will Robert Saleh Do If He Wins?<\/h2>\n
This is both a good problem and a bad problem to have for coach Robert Saleh. He knows the Jets’ long-term fortunes are tied to the success of Wilson, the overall No. 2 pick of the 2021 draft out of BYU, who is recovering from arthroscopic knee surgery.<\/p>\n
If Wilson returns in Week 4 and Flacco sits, we are not going to be seeing dance moves quite like these:<\/p>\n
