Jets cannot afford to make another QB mistake with Justin Fields

Justin Fields has already shown two extremes in his short New York Jets career. In Week 1, he delivered one of the sharpest starts of his career, efficient with the ball, decisive as a runner, and giving the offense the balance it needed.

A week later in Buffalo, he turned in what might have been the worst outing of his career. The contrast between his first two games has already put his inconsistency under the microscope, but that does not mean a quarterback change should even be on the table.

Benching Fields now would ignore context, dismiss the small sample size, and repeat the kind of short-sighted mistakes that have haunted this franchise for years.
