Why the Jets' Week 12 loss actually confirms Tyrod Taylor was the correct choice

The Jets fell to the Baltimore Ravens 23–10 in Week 12, and at first glance, it might look like the offense didn’t gain much from switching to Tyrod Taylor. Ten points rarely inspire confidence.

But for a team that has spent two months unable to evaluate its own roster, Sunday actually served as validation for Aaron Glenn’s decision to bench Justin Fields. No, Taylor wasn't perfect — far from it. That's not the point.

Taylor finished 16-of-25 for 217 yards, one touchdown, and no turnovers outside of the meaningless Hail Mary on the final snap.
