"Glenn and the Jets are giving quarterback Justin Fields a two-year runway to prove that he can be a franchise quarterback, something that has eluded the organization for decades. The raw attributes are there. The 26-year-old can be a dual threat to be reckoned with on his day; there just have not been enough flashes to commit to that, yet. Just ask the Bears and Steelers."
"These guys have had a number of practices out there in training camp, but once you get in games, things start to change a little bit. To me, it's always been, I learned this from Bill Cowher years ago, that sometimes you really don't know what your team is until you get four or five games down the road. Listen, we are all maturing in that aspect of really understanding real, true game action. Who are we going to be as a football team?"
Aaron Glenn must immediately produce a competitive, on-field-focused New York Jets team to restore the organization's reputation. Glenn has given quarterback Justin Fields a two-year runway to prove he can be a franchise quarterback. Fields possesses raw athletic attributes and can be a dual threat, but his flashes have been inconsistent. Fields attempted just nine preseason passes, completing four for 46 yards, and training camp showings have been uneven. Glenn plans a methodical approach and expects roster identity to emerge after several regular-season games, noting teams often reveal themselves four or five games into the season.
