Darren Mougey: Justin Fields is the starter; We believe that we can win with him

The jets have veterans Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor on their list, and they did not exclude writing a quarter with the seventh choice in total. But Fields will start the 2025 season as a team starter, the director general Darren Mougey said on Sunday.

“We think Justin is the starter,” said Mougey, via the Snyjet video. “”We believe in Justin. We think we can win with Justin. We are delighted with Justin’s potential. »»

Fields, 26, will follow Aaron Rodgers, who went 6-12 in two years as a starter.

The 11th choice in total in 2021 will play for its third team after three years in Chicago and one in Pittsburgh. He went 4-2 in his six departures last season, launching five affected and an interception.

The jets signed fields to a two -year agreement in the hope of being able to prove their long -term starter.

“He has A quiet confidence About himself, “said Jets coach Aaron Glenn, Judy Battista from Nfl Media.” He can really throw the deep ball really, very well. Obviously, his legs are something that is dynamic not only at university, but also the NFL. I just think he is ready to break out as a first-rate quarter. So he’s going to do everything he can to be one of the best and we will train our asses to make sure he does a good job there. »»

Mougey added that Taylor is “heels (fields”) “, so the team has its backup plan in place if Fields is not what they hope.
