Justin Fields’ first five games with the New York Jets have been a roller coaster, with a promising debut followed by performances that fall short of expectations for a full-time starter.
In the most recent outing, he finished with –10 net passing yards against Denver, yet head coach Aaron Glenn opted not to turn to Tyrod Taylor despite vocal fan calls for a change.
To be fair, while Fields hasn’t been sharp all the time, the play-calling also hasn’t helped. He’s been locked into staying in the pocket, as 85 percent of his throws this season have been from the pocket, the highest rate since his rookie year.
