Two days in April have saved Joe Douglas from getting a ton of grief in December and January.

If there was any hope left for Zach Wilson finding success in a Jets uniform, that evaporated Thursday night on a rainy night at MetLife Stadium. Wilson was terrible against the Jaguars, and looked and sounded like a broken quarterback after the game. The Jets have a decision to make on Wilson in the offseason, but at the moment, it feels hard to envision Wilson playing for the Jets again.

Normally, saying the quarterback drafted No. 2 overall just 20 months ago is done with a team would mean trouble for the man who drafted him. Douglas faced the biggest decision of his Jets tenure in the spring of 2021. He had to figure out whether to stick with Sam Darnold for a fourth season or to move on and draft a quarterback. Douglas shipped Darnold to Carolina and then drafted Wilson with the second overall pick.

That draft pick may turn out to be one of the worst in franchise history, and that is saying something for a franchise that has Lam Jones, Blair Thomas and Vernon Gholston in its history.
