After Broncos move, Peyton Manning fires shots at Jets over Zach Wilson treatment

The change of scenario for Zach Wilson, I think, is going to be a good one. The best way to really screw a young quarterback up is to change coordinators on him every single year. Peyton Manning said

Essentially, the former MVP indirectly suggested that the New York Jets are responsible for his disappointing years. Their constant changes have impeded his development.

Manning’s logic does hold true as the New York Jets had Mike LaFleur as Wilson’s offensive coordinator for his first 2 seasons. Then they brought in former Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett running the plays this past season.

Manning believes if the system was the same, different coordinators would have the same result. However, with the arrival of Hackett, the system changed to favor Aaron Rodgers. Therefore, Wilson’s development was stunted in between all these changes.

Peyton Manning thinks Sean Payton’s system will help Zach Wilson

Peyton Manning thinks that being in Sean Payton‘s system with the Denver Broncos will help Wilson in the long run.

Sean Payton has a unique system, not necessarily much carryover from any of the systems that Zach has been in. So, I think for Zach, I think a reboot actually is good. Let’s just sort of start over, right? And let’s just let Sean Payton and his staff coach you and kind of start from ground zero, which I think might be just what Zach needs. Peyton Manning added

The former Super Bowl champion believes that staying in Payton’s system will eventually unlock Wilson’s potential. After all, there must be something good in his game that made him a No. 2 pick.

The system that Manning talks about is something that comes with coaches who have particular schemes in mind. Once in place, even if coordinators keep revolving, the system ensures that the players have continuity. That continuity will help to accelerate their development. Peyton Manning has already reached out to Zach Wilson and welcomed him to Denver. The former Bronco great is excited to see Wilson develop.
