Justin Fields of the New York Jets Should Feel Insulted by the Low Expectations

The
New York Jets
are betting on
Justin Fields
Being ‘the’ person for the franchise in 2025…

And according to an NFL insider, it’s not only a reasonable guess but also a necessary one.

The Jets have already named him as the starting quarterback instead of Tyrod Taylor. So that aspect of the position has been settled.

What’s next?

Given that Fields never fully assumed control of the offense to the extent that he was viewed as the permanent solution in either Chicago or Pittsburgh, this ex-first-round pick—now only 26 years old—is now joining the team.

, and the hope is that this time, it will last.

Last season, when he had a record of 4-2 as the starter for the Steelers, Fields gave up his starting position to Russell Wilson. It’s not that Justin wasn’t performing well; rather, Coach Mike Tomlin sought further improvements from him.

Perhaps now he has the mysterious Jets former player Aaron Rodgers, who remains undecided.

And perhaps the Jets experience another impressive turnaround similar to what they had with Geno Smith and Sam Darnold?

The city of Pittsburgh secured the previous Steelers quarterback through a two-year, $40 million deal during the free agency period.

That’s inexpensive. However, according to NFL insider Mike Fisher, this fails to account for nonexistent expectations.

Fields discovered a method to lead Pittsburgh to victory as the starting player,” Fish stated. “The bar of expectation for the Jets shouldn’t be set any lower than that… and he ought to consider contradictory opinions as offensive.

Fields now boasts a top-notch partner at wide receiver in Garett Wilson, benefits from a sturdy offensive line, enjoys strong running back options with Breece Hall and Braelon Allen, and also counts on the recently drafted tight end Mason Taylor.

Indeed, defenses might focus on taking Wilson out of the game… but this could be an opportunity for Fields to shine through his exceptional running skills.

Perhaps new coaches Aaron Glenn and Darren Mougey face a lengthy rebuilding process. It could be that the quarterback of tomorrow hasn’t arrived just yet.

However, it’s Fields’ duty to confront those two offensive assumptions head-on. And he intends to start right away.
