Tyrod Taylor says he's still unaware if he'll be the Jets' starting quarterback against the Bengals
It's either the best-kept secret in the NFL this week or a master class in gamesmanship by the winless New York Jets. A day after coach Aaron Glenn said he knows who his starting quarterback will be against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday but won't reveal his decision publicly,
Glenn didn't commit to a starting quarterback Sunday immediately after the loss or Monday, though one source told CBS Sports lead NFL Insider Jonathan Jones that a switch to Taylor was likely. Tuesday, Jets owner Woody Johnson defended Glenn and took a shot at Fields.
The Jets didn't have a lot of quarterback options. Now an injury to Tyrod Taylor only complicates that. Here's a look at the depth chart.
New York coach Aaron Glenn benched Justin Fields for Tyrod Taylor this past weekend after Fields completed just 50% of his passes for 46 yards. The Jets still lost to the Panthers, 13-6. After the game, Glenn admitted he wasn't sure who was going to start this upcoming Sunday vs. the Bengals, and that uncertainty remains as of Wednesday.
After another abysmal performance by quarterback Justin Fields in the first half of Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers, the New York Jets benched Fields for veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor to start the second half after falling behind 13-3 in front of their home fans at MetLife Stadium.
The Jets are last in the NFL in passing yards. Among 32 qualified quarterbacks, Fields ranks 29th with a 31.8 QBR. In his past six quarters, he has not eclipsed 100 yards while completing 15 of 29 pass attempts.
