"Because I wanted to, the first-year boss said on Wednesday. Reports emerged on Monday that Glenn was going to make the switch, and it was only a matter of time before it happened. The Fields experiment fell woefully short of the initial hypotheses of Glenn and first-year general manager Darren Mougey. Tabbed as a potential franchise quarterback with dual-threat capabilities, Fields' legs lived up to the billing, but his arm did not."
"After going 15-of-26 for 116 yards an a touchdown, Glenn had seen enough. It was purely my decision, the head coach said. I felt like it was the time to do it. I had good conversations with both of those guys. These situations aren't always easy, but as a head coach, you have to do what's best for your team. I felt like this was best for the team."
Aaron Glenn benched Justin Fields in favor of Tyrod Taylor, stating the move was his decision and what he felt was best for the team. Fields showed strong rushing ability but produced underwhelming passing numbers, averaging just under 140 yards per game and contributing to the league's worst passing attack. After completing 15-of-26 for 116 yards and a touchdown in his final outing, the coaching staff lost confidence in Fields' arm. Taylor previously passed for 197 yards with two touchdowns in Week 3. The Jets are 2-8 and may pursue a quarterback with the No. 5 2026 draft pick.
