Tyrod Taylor to start for Jets in place of Justin Fields vs Ravens
Well, the New York Jets are making a change at quarterback, and this time injury has nothing to do with it. Justin Fields is headed to the bench. Tyrod Taylor will start this Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens, and this one was probably a long time coming. I know you can look at Fields’s statistics and say, well, there’s only one interception. There’s a pretty good completion rating. It seems like things are trending in the right direction, at least giving the Jets some of the best productivity they’ve had at the position in quite a while. But that’s not true when you actually watch Justin Fields play. This is a quarterback who is two and seven as a starter this year. Five times he’s thrown for under 120 passing yards. Four times he’s thrown for under 55 yards. Four times he’s thrown for under 50 yards in a game. There’s been an apprehension from him behind center. A timidness even when he sees what everyone can see that he’s seeing, he doesn’t pull the trigger. And that’s holding this Jet’s passing attack back. Essentially, the moment that a defense builds a two-possession lead against the Jets, you know, the game is over because there’s no hope of this team coming back with Fields under center. Uh the hope for the Jets now with Tyrod Taylor is that this passing attack can open up a bit. Taylor is not the athlete that Fields is. He’s not going to be able to run as well as Fields can, even though Taylor is a pretty good runner in his own right. But the passing attack, the the willingness to pull the trigger and be aggressive when there are throws to make, take or give your receivers chances to make one-on-one opportunities, that’s what the Jets are hoping to get with Fields. And as a result, or with Taylor, I’m sorry. And as a result, you’ll see this offense break out uh from the passing attack for the first time really this season.

Like it matters at this point but ok give up potentially getting the #1 pick in order to win 1-2 more games. I’m not trying to be negative but I’ve been a fan since 1995 and I’ve seen this movie before.
Connor is such a POS. He attacks Aaron Glenn regularly and yet he couldn't even carry Aaron's jock strap!
I guess the Offense Coordinator or lack of WR’s has nothing to do with it. Will find out soon.
Wtf are you starting Tyrod? The season is over. There is no saving it. Start Cook! Let's see what he is made of. This is why the Jets piss me TF OFF!
This is the best news I’ve heard all day. Yes sir, go sit on the bench.
IRRELEVANT
Thank god 😊
Finally!!!. I only hope Fields isn't the back up. Promote Cook.
You need to play Bustin Fields, he will get it done…. He will get that high draft pick you need. Play Bustin , get that draft pick you want
Tyrod ultimately gives them their best chance to win right now. I like him and would be happy to see him as the back up when the team finally drafts a franchise QB
Why they keep Brady Cook on the bench instead giving him the opportunity to see if he can play in the NFL? Fields should be moved to the practice squad. If you lose with Cook so be it. At this stage of the season the team is not going to make the playoffs, again.
It is frustrating to lose games when you give up only 13 points.
Aaron Glenn made the same mistake as Saleh with their OCs. Neither of them had experience as play callers.
It going to get worse.
About time. But let cook play instead.
