Everyone’s done with Zach Wilson.

They’re fed up with the Jets’ stagnant offense, if what occurred when they possessed the ball through the first three quarters Sunday could be described as an offense. They’re convinced the No. 2 pick from 2021 is a bust. Joe Namath. Mike Greenberg. The list keeps expanding by the week.

But it’s important to account for how difficult it’d be to replace Wilson on the fly. Nathaniel Hackett has already needed to redesign his offense for Wilson instead of Aaron Rodgers, but how long would it take to tailor play-calling and schemes to, say, Colt McCoy, Carson Wentz, Matt Ryan or — in every Jets fan’s dream scenario — Kirk Cousins?

This isn’t to say that the Jets should or shouldn’t move on. Rather, it’s accounting for the fact that, as ESPN writer Wright Thompson’s anthology title states, there’s a cost to anyone’s dream. The Jets dreamed the wildest vision imaginable by trading for Rodgers in March, and now they’re dealing with the ramifications — and the timeline — of a 39-year-old recovering from a torn Achilles.
