"It looks like [Glenn is] turning around parts of [the team], Johnson said. It's hard when you have a quarterback with a rating that we've got. He has the ability, but something is just not jiving. But if you look at any head coach with a quarterback like that, you're going to see similar results across the league If we could just complete a pass, it would look good. You have to convince them that you can do something."
"The Fields experiment has been a disastrous one. Signed on a two-year contract and given the green light to run away with the franchise quarterback job, the former Bear and Steeler has floundered, completing 63.7% of his passes for 845 yards with four touchdowns and zero interceptions in six games. While his dual-threat capabilities have shown flashes of promise, his pocket presence has been a liability. Fields has been sacked 22 times in those six games, with his last two outings providing stunning new lows."
"After completing 9 of 17 passes for 45 yards with nine sacks in a Week 6 loss in London against the Denver Broncos, Fields went 6-for-12 for 46 yards with three sacks during the first half of Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Carolina Panthers. He was benched at halftime and replaced by Tyrod Taylor, though it did little to turn Gang Green's fortunes around."
Woody Johnson expressed confidence in first-year head coach Aaron Glenn despite the New York Jets' 0-7 start. Johnson criticized quarterback Justin Fields for a low passer rating and inconsistent play. Fields completed 63.7% of passes for 845 yards, four touchdowns and zero interceptions over six games while being sacked 22 times. Recent performances included nine sacks in a Week 6 London loss and three sacks in the first half against Carolina, leading to a halftime benching for Tyrod Taylor. The franchise has started 0-7 or worse only once before, beginning 0-8 in 1996 and finishing 1-15 that season.
