Don’t call it a comeback. Not yet anyway.
It will take more than one game — more than what his coach, Robert Saleh, described as probably the “best game of his career” — for Zach Wilson to shed the baggage he’s accumulated in three lackluster seasons with the Jets, resulting in being benched three times (for former practice-squad players) in that span.
But Wilson now has four games left this season to showcase the talent that convinced the Jets to take him with the No. 2 overall pick in 2021 — ahead of Bengals star receiver Ja’Marr Chase and Cowboys star linebacker Micah Parsons — talent that made a rare public appearance in Sunday’s 301-yard, two-touchdown performance in the win over the Texans.
Regardless of how the next month plays out, Wilson’s future is almost certainly elsewhere. The Post’s Brian Costello argued “the Jets need to stay strong and say goodbye to Wilson.”
