Woody Johnson’s faith in head coach Aaron Glenn isn’t shaken, but the same can’t be said for Justin Fields.
The Jets are 0-7 and Fields was benched at halftime of last week’s 13-6 loss to the Panthers.
Glenn hasn’t decided yet if he will go back to Fields or start Tyrod Taylor against the Bengals.
“It looks like (Glenn) is turning around part of it,” the Jets owner said Tuesday at the league’s fall meeting.
“It’s hard when you have a quarterback with the rating that we’ve got. He has the ability, but something is not jiving. If you look at any head coach with a quarterback like that, you are going to similar results across the league. You have to play consistently at that position and that’s what we’re going to try to do.”
Pointing to the “pretty good” defense and special teams, Johnson said he has “more hope” than the skeptics.
“You can’t win with hope,” Johnson said, “but it helps.”
Johnson said he will stay out of the coaching staff’s quarterback decision.
“If we could just complete a pass, it would look good,” Johnson said. “You have to convince them that you can do something, otherwise it’s hard to have a game that you can win.”
