The inevitable has arrived. After weeks of historically bad QB play, public frustration, and mounting pressure from inside and outside the building, the New York Jets are finally turning the page at the quarterback position.
The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reported on Monday that the team is benching Justin Fields and handing the Week 12 start to veteran Tyrod Taylor in a move most fans would argue was overdue by at least a month.
Fields’ struggles had become impossible to defend. He has thrown for under 60 yards in four of his nine starts.
