FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The stated goal of the organization, articulated recently by first-year coach Aaron Glenn, is to "move in silence."

In that case, the New York Jets may have found their ideal quarterback in Justin Fields, who, unlike his predecessor Aaron Rodgers, doesn't have a weekly national TV platform to spew his thoughts on all things football (and whatever else strikes his fancy). He also doesn't have a Netflix docuseries that explores the inner workings of his own being.

Personality-wise, Fields is about as far away from Rodgers as two starting quarterbacks could be. And that's fine by the Jets.
