The New York Jets have made a surprise move in their quarterback situation, benching Justin Fields for Tyrod Taylor in Week 12 against the Ravens. This decision comes nearly a month after team owner Woody Johnson publicly criticized Fields, suggesting that the young quarterback was not living up to expectations.
Fields has struggled this season, completing just 62.7% of his passes for 1,259 yards and seven touchdowns, with one interception in nine starts. Despite his struggles, he had shown flashes of promise, but it seems that the team has lost confidence in him.
On the other hand, Tyrod Taylor is a veteran quarterback who has been limited to action this season, throwing for 379 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions. While his numbers are not impressive, he brings a level of experience and stability to the position that may be beneficial for the Jets.
Coach Aaron Glenn has previously refused to name a starter when asked about the quarterbacks, but it seems that Taylor will now get the opportunity to prove himself as the team's starting quarterback. The decision comes at a time when the Jets are facing a tough opponent in the Ravens, and the team is looking to make a statement in their ongoing season.
Taylor's arrival may signal a change in direction for the Jets' offense, which has struggled to find consistency this season. With Taylor behind the wheel, the Jets will be looking to capitalize on his experience and skillset to try and turn around their fortunes.
The decision to bench Fields is a significant one, and it will be interesting to see how the young quarterback responds to being replaced in the starting lineup. Will he be able to regain his confidence and prove himself as a viable option for the Jets? Only time will tell.

. Meanwhile Tyrod Taylor's just "showing up" and expecting to be good? I don't get it... the guy's got 3 interceptions already 
. If I'm a Jets fan, I'd be super frustrated right now 
. But hey, at least they're shaking things up, right? Maybe this change is just what they need to turn their season around 
38 isnt getting any younger you feel? and what makes him so special now? was he always that good back in his day? and what about the ravens? they're like a whole different team when it comes to defense. i'm curious to see how this all plays out
I'm actually kinda down with this move by the Jets! They're giving Tyrod Taylor a chance to lead the team, and honestly, it's about time. Fields has been struggling all season, but you can't just bench someone like that without giving them a shot to prove themselves. Maybe Taylor will bring some stability to the offense and help them turn things around. I mean, those Ravens are gonna be tough to beat! 
But seriously, can we just say Tyrod Taylor has been around so long, he's practically a Jet (get it? 
). On a more serious note, I think this move might actually be a blessing in disguise for Fields. He needs to prove himself again and show what he's really capable of. The Ravens are gonna crush the Jets regardless, but hey, at least we can say Tyrod Taylor has got this... right? 
The Jets have been stuck in neutral all season, and maybe they needed a change of pace... or quarterback 
But will it work? Only time will tell if Taylor can lead the Jets to victory against the Ravens!
