**Jets' Quarterback Carousel Since 2015** The New York Jets have had a revolving door at the quarterback position over the past years. Since 2015, they have had five quarterbacks start at least one game: * Zach Wilson (2021-Present) * Sam Darnold (2018-2020) * Ryan Fitzpatrick (2015-2016) * Geno Smith * Joe Namath (1965) The Jets have struggled to find a consistent quarterback since their Super Bowl III victory in 1969. Darnold and Wilson were both highly touted draft picks, but neither has lived up to expectations fully. Fitzpatrick was a solid veteran who had some success with the Jets, but he is now with the Miami Dolphins. Smith has been a backup for most of his career but has shown some promise in spot starts. The Jets hope that Wilson can be the franchise quarterback they have been searching for, but he will need to improve his consistency and avoid turnovers. If Wilson can develop into a top-tier quarterback, the Jets could be a playoff contender once again.
