NFL fans had a lot to say after Justin Fields was benched against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. New York Jets coach Aaron Glenn replaced Fields at the start of the second half, insider Ian Rapoport reported. After seven weeks and zero wins, Glenn made a decision on his struggling quarterback.

Others wondered if this was the end of Justin Fields' career or if he was really the problem for the Jets.

"So close to Fields career done. Never been more right about a player," one fan said.
"Jeez pretty grim for Fields. I love Fields, one of the leagues good guys and pros. But think this might be his last chance at being a starter coming to an end unfortunately," another fan said.

"So Fields puts up 3 TD against the Steelers defense but gets benched against the Panthers? So it’s either Fields isn’t tha got, the Steelers defense is bad or both?" another fan questioned.

Justin Fields left the game after going 6 of 12 for just 46 yards. While he added four carries for 22 yards, the Jets quarterback was sacked three times.

Did Tyrod Taylor play better than Justin Fields against Panthers?

Tyrod Taylor brought something different to the Jets' offense, which was what Aaron Glenn wanted from his QB2. Still, it wasn't enough to beat the Panthers. Taylor went 10 of 22 for 126 yards, but he couldn't find the end zone either and was sacked three times, too.

The Jets dropped to 13-6 after the Panthers beat them 13-6. Bryce Young continued his good moment with 15 completions on 25 attempts for 138 yards and one touchdown. The third-year quarterback dealt with health issues and was replaced by Andy Dalton, but the job was done by the time he left the field.

The Jets will return to action against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 8, hoping to cause damage to Joe Flacco, who beat the Pittsburgh Steelers to kick off this week.

Glenn didn't commit to one quarterback, meaning Fields' spot isn't secure until at least Wednesday.
