Canal Street Chronicles on Zach Wilson
From the article
When the Saints signed Zach Wilson this offseason, it was a shocking move many did not expect... QB development takes time, especially for a QB like Wilson, who was not ready to start in the NFL. If he finally feels comfortable in an offense and can develop under a staff that is built for that purpose, Wilson could have a really good training camp and preseason, which may lead to him winning the job.
STACKED’s take
Wilson's QB development arc mirrors Darnold's; strong camp could win QB2 job.
The source identifies Wilson as a training camp surprise candidate for the QB2 position despite being labeled a draft bust early in his career. The source notes that Wilson was a former #2 overall selection and argues that QB development takes time, especially for a QB who was not ready to start in the NFL. The source compares Wilson's trajectory to Sam Darnold (Super Bowl winner), Baker Mayfield (current starter), Daniel Jones (current starter), and Mac Jones (projected future starter), all of whom carried the draft bust label early. The source contends that if Wilson feels comfortable in the Saints' offense and develops under their staff, he could have a strong training camp and preseason that leads to winning the QB2 job, despite Spencer Rattler currently being the likely candidate.
