"Taylor is 36 years old, is on his seventh NFL team and has not started more than six games in a season since 2017. He made his NFL debut when the Giants' Jaxson Dart was 8 years old. And yet here we are. Fields, 26, joined the Jets this season as the successor to Aaron Rodgers with the hope that he at least could be a bridge to the quarterback of the future."
"The Jets had 25 net passing yards at halftime. That was an improvement over last week, when they finished with minus-10 in a 13-11 loss to the Broncos. Fields went 6-for-12 for 46 yards. Taylor did provide the spark Glenn was looking for, going 10-for-22 for 126 yards as the offense came partly to life. But Taylor threw two interceptions - both on nifty catches by Jaycee Horn - which was the one bad thing Fields has been able to avoid this season."
The Jets lost 13-6 to the Panthers, extending a winless start to 0-7. Aaron Glenn benched Justin Fields at halftime and inserted Tyrod Taylor to start the second half. Taylor, 36 and a journeyman on his seventh NFL team, provided a partial offensive spark but threw two interceptions. Fields completed 6-of-12 for 46 yards before the change. The team had only 25 net passing yards at halftime and had minus-10 passing yards the previous week. The Jets are on track for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 draft while facing urgent quarterback decisions.
