Aaron Glenn has had to answer his fair share of questions about the quarterback position over his first 10 months as head coach of the New York Jets. Needless to say, he is done with them.<\/p>\n
Speaking to reporters earlier this week, Glenn refused to shed light on who would lead his offense on Thursday night against the New England Patriots.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease don\u2019t ask me anything about the quarterbacks,\u201d he said at a press conference on Monday. \u201cYou know I\u2019m not going to tell you and I don\u2019t want to waste my time when it comes to that, when it comes to who\u2019s starting.\u201d<\/p>\n
Glenn taking this approach to the most important position on his team is nothing new. The last two games \u2014 both Jets wins \u2014 he also did not tell the media who would start at quarterback between Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor. Fields, who had been the team\u2019s QB1 from back in the offseason, ended up starting both games.<\/p>\n
So, why would there be any uncertainty heading into Thursday then? Because despite a solid-looking stat line \u2014 113-of-178 (63.5%), 1,143 yards, 6 TDs, 1 INT \u2014 has struggled as the Jets\u2019 quarterback. While he did have some moments, he is one of the lowest-ranked passers in the league in terms of expected points added per play (-0.039; 29th) and is at the center of an offense averaging just 21.7 points per game so far this season (25th).<\/p>\n
