I put it in the KFS discord earlier, because I don’t know who else to ask, but I’m wondering if it’s time to think about whether ZW is the biggest draft bust in history. We all know that Russell and Leaf are the consensus standard bearers for this, but by this point it feels impossible not to consider ZW for entry into that club.
He’s in his third year, has good receivers and running backs, and the mentorship of an all-time great who he is supposed to have a similar playing style to and has made absolutely no progress whatsoever. He wouldn’t start for the majority of the Top 25 ranked NCAAF teams right now. He makes his otherwise competent enough team drastically worse and actively jeopardises their chances of winning.

It’s definitely hard to beat those guys, but the stats are pretty damn close.
JaMarcus Russell: 31 games, 52.1% completion, 4083 yards, 18 TD, 23 INT, 7-18 record.
Zach Wilson: 26 games, 52.4% completion, 4489 yards, 17 TD, 22 INT, 8-16 record.
