ESPN’s Rich Cimini reports the Jets are “moving toward” naming Tyrod Taylor the starter.

Well, yeah. Consider this a companion blurb to what we just posted about Justin Fields. We sincerely doubt that Taylor is going to stay healthy for longer than a month at 36 years old, but he can competently shepherd the passing offense in a way that Fields simply hasn’t. Add up a game against the Bengals defense to the ledger and suddenly Taylor is squarely on the QB2 superflex line in a week with six teams on bye.
