The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-jets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Jets</a> lost on Thursday Night Football and, after scoring only 14 points, the quarterback battle between Tyrod Taylor and Justin Fields was a topic of conversation once again. Now that the team is preparing for its Week 12 game against the Baltimore Ravens, head coach Aaron Glenn has cleared the air on who will be under center.



According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-glenn" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Glenn</a> said Tyrod Taylor will be the one commanding the offense against the Baltimore Ravens. This means Justin Fields is going to be benched.



Glenn hinted that this was going to happen last week, but this time it’s happening for real. Both parties have been informed according to Rapoport. Now, it’s a veteran presence behind center.



<h2>Taylor is a new dynamic, but not precisely an upgrade</h2>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tyrod-taylor" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Taylor</a> is a well-known quarterback in the NFL. He was a starter back in the day, but ended up being a journeyman. Taylor already played three games this season, starting one of them. He is 0-1 and has completed only 62.3% of his passes, with three touchdowns and three interceptions.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/11/17173203/tyrod-taylor-1920x1080.webp" alt="Tyrod Taylor #2 of the New York Jets" class="wp-image-529066"></figure><figcaption>Tyrod Taylor #2 of the New York Jets</figcaption></figure>



Taylor won’t be a world beater, but at least could provide some maturity in the quarterback position, something that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-fields" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Justin Fields</a> hasn’t done. Fields is a bit wild and erratic, Taylor is more poised and calm. That doesn’t mean he is an upgrade, after all, he has been a backup for a reason.

<h2>The Jets will face a desperate team</h2>



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ravens</a> are a desperate team trying to catch up and get a playoff spot. Also, they are on a four-game winning streak. They are unbeaten since the bye week, and the Jets shouldn’t be a team that concern Baltimore.



The Jets have the third worst record in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>. They are 2-8, only behind the 1-9 Titans and the 2-9 Giants. The only other teams with a 2-8 record are the Browns and the Saints.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-jets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Jets</a> are not enjoying a strong 2025 NFL season. Ahead of Week 8, HC Aaron Glenn was undecided on the team’s QB1, but a key update has now forced him to choose between <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-fields" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Justin Fields</a> and Tyrod Taylor.



Throughout the week, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-glenn" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Aaron Glenn</a> faced repeated questions about which quarterback would start in Week 8 against the Bengals. Now, the head coach has had to make a decision due to a crucial injury update.



On Saturday, Jets insider Brian Coz reported that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tyrod-taylor" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tyrod Taylor</a> has been ruled out of Sunday’s game with a bone bruise on his knee, forcing the Jets to start Justin Fields for at least one more week.



<h2>Justin Fields has one more week to prove himself to the Jets</h2>



The Jets’ 0-7 start is not helping Justin Fields in his bid to secure the starting QB job. He has struggled to elevate New York to a competitive level, and the team is on pace to finish with the worst record of the season.



In recent days, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/jets-owner-woody-johnson-blasts-justin-fields-defends-aaron-glenn-as-qb-change-looks-imminent" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">owner Woody Johnson stated that the Jets needed a change at the quarterback position</a>, criticizing Fields over his poor performances. Nevertheless, Taylor’s injury has postponed any potential change for at least one more week.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/aaron-glenn-gives-ominous-update-on-jets-situation-regarding-the-qb-battle-between-justin-fields-and-tyrod-taylor"></div>


Week 8 presents a key opportunity for Fields to make a statement and keep his job. The Bengals come off a significant victory against the Steelers, but their defense is still not regarded as particularly reliable.



Justin Fields will also be without Garrett Wilson for this game, which will impact his performance. However, the QB must find other key weapons against the Bengals to secure a win and extend his tenure as the starter.



<h2>New York’s hospital</h2>



Not only is Garrett Wilson out, but several other key offensive players have also been ruled out or are listed as questionable, which is far from ideal for Fields.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/tyrod-taylor-remains-cautious-on-possible-start-over-justin-fields-for-jets-vs-bengals-in-week-8"></div>


Wide receivers Kene Nwangwu, Irvin Charles, and Josh Reynolds are out. Tight end Mason Taylor and running back Breece Hall are questionable. Justin Fields undoubtedly is in a tough spot.

Jets forced to make tough QB1 decision after key update on Justin Fields, Tyrod Taylor - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-jets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Jets</a> are having one of the worse quarterback battles in recent memory. Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor are not working but one of them has to play. However, Aaron Glenn as the head coach needs to make a definitive statement, which he is not doing ahead of their Week 8 game against the Cincinnati Bengals.



When asked about who is starting, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-glenn" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Glenn</a> said, “I cannot tell you that,” Glenn said. He stated that he won’t say it because he doesn’t want to give any competitive advantages to the Bengals.



He reminded about the time where he suffered that uncertainty when he was the defensive coordinator of the Detroit Lions. Still, for a team suffering these many problems, they would appreciate having clarity on their QB situation.



<h2>Neither QB will have the team’s best weapon</h2>



Whether it’s <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tyrod-taylor" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Taylor</a> or Fields under center, the Jets will have to do without their best receiver, Garrett Wilson. The Ohio State product will miss the game due to a knee injury and he is by far and away the best weapon the team has.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251024_BUS_514894_Garrett-Wilson-1-1024x576_f1d3164a.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson" class="wp-image-289252" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson</figcaption></figure>



Wilson leads the Jets with 395 receiving yards and four touchdowns. But, if he’s out, it will be even harder for any QB to move the chains. This Jets team is just very limited offensively.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/jets-owner-woody-johnson-blasts-justin-fields-defends-aaron-glenn-as-qb-change-looks-imminent"></div>


<h2>The Jets must win a game</h2>



Being the only winless team in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> is a record no team wants. The Bengals have a backup quarterback too in Joe Flacco, but Flacco is playing way better than either Taylor or Fields for that matter.



Now, without Wilson and a bad quarterback, it’s tough to think they will be better than the Bengals. But, any given Sunday is one of the NFL’s mottos. It will be tough to defend Chase and Higgins without All Pro Sauce Gardner too.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-jets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Jets</a> are doing their best to be known as the most dysfunctional franchise in the NFL. Now that no one even knows who their quarterback is, Tyrod Taylor spoke on what he’s expecting for the team’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals and what his role would be, if he’s taken over <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-fields" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Justin Fields</a> as the starter.



Aaron Glenn hasn’t decided who the quarterback will be yet, or so he says, stating both QBs have had first team reps. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tyrod-taylor" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Taylor</a> spoke abouth his expectations, “I have&nbsp;no anticipation&nbsp;for it,” Taylor said to the reporters. “My mind and my sole focus is being available and ready to be able to lead this team when called upon.”



Fields was benched during the last game and Taylor tried to ignite a comeback. But ended up throwing two picks and it all ended in catastrophe for the Jets once again. At 0-7, the team is desperate to get a win.



<h2>Justin Fields was slammed by the Jets’ owner</h2>



You know the quarterback play is bad when even the owner of the team publicly slams you. That’s what happened to Justin Fields. Speaking to reporters at the NFL meetings, Johnson said the team can win games. For Johnson it’s simple “if we can just complete a pass,” the Jets will win.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251023_BUS_514435_justin-fields-4-1024x576_c6ddb031.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Justin Fields #7 of the New York Jets." class="wp-image-509906" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Justin Fields #7 of the New York Jets.</figcaption></figure>



That’s not the first time Johnson criticizes Fields. A few days ago, he said no team could win with quarterback play like the one Fields is delivering. It’s just a complete mess. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/aaron-glenn-leaves-justin-fields-future-as-jets-qb1-up-in-the-air-after-benching-him-for-tyrod-taylor"></div>


<h2>The Jets will face a rested, motivated Bengals</h2>



The Jets are spiraling down and 0-7. They face a 3-4 team like the Bengals who are fighting for a playoff berth. After beating the Steelers, they are motivated with Joe Flacco, and rested as they had a long week to go for this.



It all smells like 0-8 for the Jets and the Bengals have all the momentum going into this game. The fact that the Jets don’t even have a settled QB1 just speaks as to how this game will play out.

Jets owner Woody Johnson blasts Justin Fields, defends Aaron Glenn as QB change looks imminent

Tyrod Taylor remains cautious on possible start over Justin Fields for Jets vs Bengals in Week 8 - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-jets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Jets</a> benched Justin Fields for Tyrod Taylor in the second half of their Week 7 game against the Carolina Panthers. However, the result was the same: a loss (6-13). After the game, head coach Aaron Glenn didn’t confirm which of the two players will be the starting quarterback next week. 



According to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic, “<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-glenn" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Aaron Glenn</a> said he’s not ready to say who will start at QB next week.” The Jets will face a tough away game against the Cincinnati Bengals.



The Jets has been an up-and-down offense, but when it works, it’s because the running game has been good, not because of the quarterback play. In fact, QB play has brought the offense down quite a lot of times.



<h2>Fields was benched but Taylor didn’t do much either</h2>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-fields" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Justin Fields</a> ended his Week 7 outing with 46 yards passing after completing only six out of 12 attempts. He added 22 rushing yards in four attempts and that was it. With him under center, the Jets scored only a field goal.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251019_BUS_512056_justin-fields-5-1024x576_40ce4a43.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Justin Fields" class="wp-image-509955" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Justin Fields #7 of the New York Jets.</figcaption></figure>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tyrod-taylor" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tyrod Taylor</a> didn’t change much. He completed 10-of-22 attempts for 126 yards. However, he threw for two interceptions. Taylor ran for 11 yards on three rushes. The team also scored only three points.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/justin-fields-net-worth"></div>


<h2>The defense is giving the offense a chance…</h2>



The last two weeks, the defense has really improved and given the offense a chance to go out there and win the games. They allowed 13 points to the Broncos and 13 points to the Panthers. Somehow, the offense has failed to score more than 11 points.



The defense is doing its part. However, it’s just ironic how when the offense produced, the defense was dreadful. Now that the defense is playing great, the offense is anemic. It’s just the life of the Jets, where they never can be a complete football team.

Aaron Glenn leaves Justin Fields' future as Jets QB1 up in the air after benching him for Tyrod Taylor - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-jets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Jets</a> are hosting the Carolina Panthers and things didn’t look good in the first half. Desperate to get their first win of the season, the home team benched Justin Fields in favor of Tyrod Taylor, but why did they do it?



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-fields" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Fields</a> suffered a big blow earlier in the game but the reason for his benching was not that, it’s because of his bad form. Taylor will try to get the offense a bit more tempo in hopes of scoring points. Fields wasn’t able to do so.



The Jets recorded just three points with Fields under center. The quarterback himself had a bad outing. He completed 6/12 passes for 46 yards. He added 22 rushing yards. 



<h2>Tyrod Taylor brings some sort of new hope</h2>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tyrod-taylor" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Taylor</a> is more of a pocket passer compared to Fields. An argument can be made for him being more accurate but his big edge over Fields is actually how he can read defenses. That itself should help the Jets move the ball better.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251019_BUS_511944_Tyrod-Taylor-1024x576_e7ca5598.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Tyrod Taylor #2 of the New York Jets" class="wp-image-347725" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Tyrod Taylor #2 of the New York Jets</figcaption></figure>



Taylor is still a below-par QB in the league. Still, it seems like the Fields experiment might be in its final hours. Whether Taylor remains as QB1 next week or not remains to be seen, but head coach Aaron Glenn seems ready to open the book and see other options.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/justin-fields-net-worth"></div>


<h2>The Jets problems go way beyond the QB</h2>



Don’t get it twisted, QB play is one of the biggest problems the team has. But, other teams have that issue too and the Jets are the only winless team in the league. The coaching is one of the biggest issues.



Aaron Glenn hasn’t proved that he can be a head coach in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>. The Jets have no discipline, the defense is a rollercoaster, the offense harms no one and the clock management is one of the league’s worst. There is no end in sight for the Jets’ losing streak.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-jets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Jets</a> saw their quarterback Justin Fields get a concussion on their Week 2 loss vs. Buffalo Bills. Hence, the team will be relying on NFL veteran Tyrod Taylor to command the offense. Aaron Glenn, the team’s head coach, gave his honest opinion on what their now-starting quarterback means to him and the team.



“There’s no better player that you would want as your backup quarterback than [Taylor] at this point in time,” <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-glenn" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Glenn</a> said on a press conference. “The fact that he’s been in this league for a long time, there’s no coverage, there’s no pressure that he hasn’t seen. So, that’s why I have confidence in him, and he’s a very studious person.”



Whether he will be able to move the chains or not remains to be seen. Still, Glenn has the utmost confidence in Taylor to be able to guide the team while <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-fields" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Fields</a> recover from his concussion.



<h2>Tyrod Taylor’s debut last week wasn’t bad</h2>



The Bills beat the Jets 30-10 and by the time Taylor entered the gridiron, the game was absolutely settled. However, he went 7-of-11 for 56 yards, one touchdown and a passer rating of 106.6. He was able to bring a new dynamic. Like Glenn said, Taylor has seen it all in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250918_BUS_494167_Tyrod-Taylor-1024x576_851781d4.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Tyrod Taylor #2 of the New York Jets" class="wp-image-447227" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Tyrod Taylor #2 of the New York Jets</figcaption></figure>



Taylor is not hugely fast but he is very mobile. He knows how to extend the plays and to try and take care of the football. Now, he has the chance to prove himself on a non-conference game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/aaron-glenn-net-worth"></div>


<h2>The Bucs could be a problem for the Jets</h2>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tampa-bay-buccaneers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tampa Bay</a> is one of the best teams in the NFC. But even more than that, they’re a team with a very good pass rush and interior defense, which could make the Jets life difficult. Why? The Jets want to be a run-heavy offense, but if you can’t establish that, then you can’t establish play-action offense either. Hence, you likely put your quarterback into a shotgun-heavy approach.



Then Tampa Bay goes blitzing and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tyrod-taylor" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Taylor</a> gets rushed constantly. For the Jets, it will be crucial to have a gameplan that allows them to at least threaten the Bucs with a running game if they want to succeed.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-fields" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Justin Fields</a> won’t play in Week 3 due to a concussion. Now, the New York Jets have updated their quarterback depth chart, which features a new starter for the game against the Buccaneers.



On Wednesday, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-jets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jets</a> confirmed that Fields will be sidelined for Week 3. With their starting quarterback unavailable, the team will turn to a veteran presence to lead the offense.



With Fields out, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tyrod-taylor" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tyrod Taylor</a> is set to start on Sunday. Head coach Aaron Glenn confirmed that the experienced signal-caller will take charge in a tough matchup against Tampa Bay.



<h2>New York Jets QB depth chart without Justin Fields</h2>



At the moment, Taylor is the only healthy quarterback on the roster. The Jets didn’t expect to lose Fields to an injury so quickly, and now they need to add depth to the position as soon as possible.



Undrafted rookie Brady Cook is currently on the practice squad and is expected to be elevated to the active roster for Week 3. While Taylor will start, he’ll need a backup in case of injury.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/video-justin-fields-hits-his-head-vs-bills-jets-evaluating-qb-for-a-concussion"></div>


Taylor has proven to be a solid backup and a reliable starter. Since joining the Jets, he has led four touchdown drives in five opportunities, giving him an impressive 80% TD drive rate. His numbers in those appearances are remarkable:



<ul><li>24 of 33 passing (72.7% completion rate)</li><li>175 yards</li><li>4 TDs, 0 INTs</li><li>124.4 passer rating</li><li>6 carries for 34 yards (5.8 yards per rush)</li></ul>



<h2>Will Justin Fields miss more games?</h2>



The New York Jets have not confirmed whether Fields will miss more than one game due to his concussion. He must first clear the NFL’s concussion protocol before returning to action.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-issues-strong-fine-to-jets-justin-fields-teammate-after-violent-gesture-toward-steelers-qb-aaron-rodgers"></div>


This is the first concussion of Fields’ NFL career. After facing the Buccaneers, the Jets will play the Dolphins, Cowboys, and Broncos, with the Denver matchup taking place in London.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tyrod-taylor">Tyrod Taylor </a>has spent over a decade carving out his place in the league, a quiet but impactful presence behind center. For the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-jets">New York Jets</a>, he’s more than just a name on the depth chart… he’s experience personified.



From his Pro Bowl days in Buffalo to clutch spot starts across the league, he has seen nearly every role a quarterback can hold. Now in New York, he stands ready for whatever the season demands.



The franchise didn’t bring him in by chance. With poise under pressure and the respect of every locker room he’s entered, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> star represents a rare safety net — one built on years of surviving the league’s chaos.



<h2>How old is Tyrod Taylor?</h2>



Tyrod Di’allo Taylor—born August 3, 1989—turns 36 in 2025, marking a rare milestone as a veteran presence in a QB room full of youth. With 15+ NFL seasons now on his résumé, his longevity speaks volumes: from late-round pick to respected figure capable of mentoring younger quarterbacks.

<h2>How tall is Tyrod Taylor?</h2>



Tyrod Taylor stands at 6 ft 1 in (185 cm) and weighs around 217 lb (98 kg)—a build that strikes a balance between mobility and endurance through NFL tackles. A sub-33-inch arm reach paired with a 4.51-second 40-yard dash at his pro day underlines his dual-threat origin story: not a towering passer, but one who wins with precision and athleticism.



<h2>Tyrod Taylor’s contract with New York Jets</h2>



When Tyrod Taylor signed with the New York Jets in March 2024, the deal was designed to provide veteran stability behind the team’s starter, reflecting both his experience and the Jets’ long-term planning. 



The contract is a two-year, $12 million agreement with $8.5 million guaranteed and a $4 million signing bonus, making it a notable investment for a backup quarterback in today’s market, according to Spotrac.



The contract is structured with three void years, which reduces the immediate cap hit, allowing the team to manage their salary cap while retaining a high-quality insurance policy. In 2024, his cap hit was approximately $2.8 million, increasing to around $6.8 million in 2025, leaving flexibility for roster moves and future negotiations.



<h2>Tyrod Taylor’s stats</h2>



Tyrod Taylor’s career statistics reveal a player who has consistently blended efficient passing with dynamic rushing ability—a dual-threat quarterback who values ball security and smart decision-making.



<ul><li>Passing stats: Over 15 NFL seasons, he has completed 1,085 of 1,752 attempts (61.9% completion rate) for 12,254 yards, 68 touchdowns, and 29 interceptions.

Taylor has demonstrated poise in the pocket and an ability to manage games without forcing risky throws.</li></ul>

<ul><li>Rushing stats: His mobility is a significant aspect of his game, as evidenced by 2,281 rushing yards and 19 rushing touchdowns over his career. His running ability has allowed him to extend plays, escape pressure, and provide an additional offensive weapon that defenses must respect.</li></ul>



<ul><li>2024 season with the Jets: In limited action, he appeared in two games, completing 17 of 22 passes (77.3%) for 119 yards, throwing 3 touchdowns and no interceptions. He earned a passer rating of 128.6, showcasing his capability to deliver efficient performances even with limited opportunities.</li></ul>



His numbers may not jump off the page compared to star quarterbacks, but they highlight his role as a reliable, low-turnover signal-caller who can manage the offense effectively when called upon—an essential trait for a backup quarterback in the high-pressure NFL environment.



<h2>Tyrod Taylor’s career highlights</h2>



Super Bowl champion with the Baltimore Ravens (2012): He began his career backing up Joe Flacco on the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens">Ravens</a>, earning a Super Bowl ring after the team’s dramatic playoff run. Although he did not see playing time in the postseason, the experience helped shape his professional mindset. This championship ring remains a career highlight and a testament to his early NFL exposure.



Buffalo Bills breakout and Pro Bowl nod (2015): His prime years came in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/buffalo-bills">Buffalo</a>, where he earned a Pro Bowl selection in 2015. That season, he threw for over 3,000 yards, completing 60.1% of his passes with 20 touchdowns and only 6 interceptions. More than a passer, Taylor was a dual-threat, rushing for over 500 yards and showcasing his mobility. He helped lead the Bills back to the playoffs, their first postseason appearance since 1999, ending a 17-year drought and reviving the franchise’s competitive hopes.



Ball security and franchise records: Known for his cautious decision-making, he set Bills records for most consecutive passes without an interception and for quarterback rushing yards. His ability to protect the football distinguished him in a league where turnovers can dictate games. This precision earned him trust as a starter and helped stabilize offenses around him.



Journeyman leader and mentor: Beyond Buffalo, his career saw him play starting and backup roles with the Cleveland Browns, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-chargers">Los Angeles Chargers</a>, Houston Texans, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants">New York Giants</a>, and now the Jets. This path highlights his adaptability—learning new systems, supporting younger quarterbacks, and stepping into action when called upon. His veteran presence has been valued not just for play but also for leadership and professionalism in locker rooms undergoing transition.



Noteworthy comeback and playoff pushes: While his time as a starter has had ups and downs, his consistent play in relief roles has helped teams through injury crises and midseason adversity. His calm under pressure and game management continue to be seen as assets, particularly in shaping team culture and mentoring emerging talents.

Who is the Jets backup quarterback? Tyrod Taylor's profile: Age, stats, and contract - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants">New York Giants</a> have had a dreadful season since their week 1 defeat, a particularly humiliating 40-0 loss to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys">Dallas Cowboys</a>. With a current record of 1-4, they face another challenging match against the formidable Buffalo Bills, especially with the absence of their starting quarterback, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/daniel-jones">Daniel Jones</a>.



Earlier today coach Brian Daboll confirmed Jones is still recovering from an injury and won’t be able to play in the upcoming game. Their sole victory this season came against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals">Arizona Cardinals</a>, a team not known for their exceptional talent. Even that win required a remarkable comeback, marred by the loss of their star running back <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/saquon-barkley">Saquon Barkley</a> to injury.



The loss of Jones represents a significant problem for the Giants’ problems given his position. While Jones may not have been performing at his best this season, the prospect of winning against a championship-caliber team like the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/buffalo-bills">Bills</a> without him seems unlikely. With the quarterback sidelined due to a neck injury, the responsibility will fall to Tyrod Taylor.



<h2>Tyrod Taylor’s Career</h2>



Tyrod Taylor’s career as a starting quarterback has not been stellar, but his experience is a valuable asset. With over 50 regular-season starts under his belt, he brings a level of experience and understanding of the game that surpasses many starting quarterbacks in the league. Impressively, he possesses a career winning record as a starter with 26 wins, 25 defeats, and 1 tie.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231013#BUS#75498"></div>


Adding to his valuable background, Taylor has participated in a total of 85 games throughout his career, including instances when he entered the game as a substitute. Much of his career was spent with the Bills, the team that drafted him, where he accumulated a 22-20 record in 42 regular-season starts between 2011 and 2017, becoming a starter in the last three seasons.



In 2018, Taylor had a brief stint with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns">Cleveland Browns</a>, where he achieved an unusual record of 1 win, 1 loss, and 1 tie as a starter. After that, he signed with the Los Angeles Chargers but only had one start in two seasons.

In 2021, he played for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/houston-texans">Houston Texans</a>, with a record of 2 wins and 4 losses as a starter, before joining the Giants for the last two seasons. His last start was on December 5, 2021, in a matchup against the Colts. This upcoming game will be Taylor’s first start for the Giants.

NFL: Tyrod Taylor’s Record as Starting Quarterback - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/deshaun-watson-t154040" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deshaun Watson </a>situation is kind of getting out of hand right now. Everybody around the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nfl-t20281" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFL</a> knows that Watson wants to get out of the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/houston-texans-t91292" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Houston Texans,</a> yet the team refuses to cave into his demands.
Watson demanded a trade at the beginning of the offseason and hasn’t changed his mind thus far. If anything, he’s even angrier at the team, especially after they let go of veteran star JJ Watt.
For now, it doesn’t seem like the Texans are going to let him go regardless of how good of an offer they get. Then again, one of their recent signings may point towards him looking for a Plan B already.

<h2>Houston Texans Say They Won’t Trade Deshaun Watson</h2>
“He is our starting quarterback as of right now. He is our starting quarterback. Things happen between now and then. We’ll see what happens,” new Texans coach David Culley said some days ago regarding the Watson situation.
<h2>Texans Sign Tyrod Taylor As An Insurance Policy</h2>
However, Ian Rapoport recently announced that the Houston Texans just signed veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor, who was supposed to be the Los Angeles Chargers‘ starter last season until the team doctor accidentally punctured his lung.

Taylor has plenty of experience as a starter in the NFL. He’s a dual-threat quarterback that could hold the front just long enough until they get a new building block for the future, assuming they’ll – in fact – trade Watson.
There’s no telling what the team is going to do but it doesn’t seem like Watson is going to agree to playwith them this season, and that’s most likely why they already got a potential replacement waiting in line.
