As good as Justin Fields was the last time the New York Jets walked off the field, head coach Aaron Glenn still isn’t ready to publicly commit to him as the team’s starting quarterback.

Given multiple opportunities to name Fields the starter coming out of the bye week, New York’s first-year coach repeatedly declined.

The move comes as a surprise to some. Fields is coming off a comeback win, the first of the season for the Jets, where he threw for over 200 yards and helped the team erase three different two-score deficits.

Still, the Jets remain quiet when it comes to their decision at quarterback.

Glenn stays mum on quarterback decision

Glenn has typically been quiet when it comes to revealing his on-field plans for players. In his mind, the organization is looking for any competitive advantage it can get, even if that means going back and forth with reporters as he did on Monday morning.

“As we go throughout the week, I know you guys are going to ask me again and you’re going to get the same answer,” Glenn said. “You’re going to know who the starting quarterback is when we go out there for Cleveland.”

The decision remains between Fields and veteran signal-caller Tyrod Taylor. Inconsistent play from the former first-round pick in Fields has opened up a quarterback competition.

Complicating matters, though, is Taylor’s knee injury.

The veteran missed New York’s Week 8 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals with that injury and is making his way back to the field now. Coming off a win, though, it remains unlikely that the Jets would make any sweeping changes to the quarterback room.

QB room breakdown

The stats are mediocre for both signal-callers in the Jets’ offense. Fields has yet to throw an interception, but has thrown for just 1,089 yards with five touchdowns. He has had three games in which he failed to throw for over 50 yards, including a halftime benching in a loss to the Carolina Panthers on Oct. 19.

Taylor hasn’t been perfect either, though. The veteran has completed 62 percent of his passes for three touchdowns and three interceptions.

As Glenn continues to refrain from naming a starter, questions have arisen surrounding the Jets’ quarterback room. To fans and analysts, the lack of clarity at the position could indicate a lack of confidence in either quarterback. Perhaps it could lead to a trickle-down of frustration in the locker room.

Glenn doesn’t think so. The rookie head coach insists that just because he hasn’t publicly stated who will start on Sunday, it doesn’t mean his players are unaware of the plan.

“It helps the quarterback’s confidence when the player and the coach talk and they know who the guy is, not that I’m telling it to you guys,” Glenn said. “That has nothing to do with the player’s confidence.”

The Jets are looking for a competitive advantage on Sunday. They believe withholding their quarterback decision could be the difference between a win or loss.

Hey, it worked against Cincinnati. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right?
