Justin Fields’ starting role hangs in balance as Jets look to crack win column vs. Panthers
Text with Brian Costello all season as he brings Sports+ subscribers the latest Jets intel from on the field and off.
The Jets quarterback is coming off one of the worst passing performances in franchise history, and the question entering Sunday’s game against the Panthers is whether he will be the starting quarterback when it finishes.
Coach Aaron Glenn has fiercely defended Fields this week and given no indication he is thinking of benching him. But the team is 0-6, and Fields is coming off a game in which he took nine sacks and the offense had minus-10 passing yards. You have to think that if Fields struggles again against Carolina, Glenn would have to turn to backup Tyrod Taylor.
Jets' coach Glenn defends QB Fields' style of play
New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields, sacked nine times last week, is hearing familiar criticism from fans and media: He holds the ball too long.
Coach Aaron Glenn defended Fields' style of play, bringing reigning MVP Josh Allen and two-time MVP Lamar Jackson into the conversation. Allen and Jackson, Glenn told reporters Friday, do the same thing.
"I think everybody tends to see who those guys are and understand that, and for some reason they don't understand Justin," Glenn said.
Of course, Allen and Jackson are more accomplished than Fields — a combined seven Pro Bowls. Meanwhile, Fields is on his third team in three years.
