Woody Johnson’s faith in head coach Aaron Glenn isn’t shaken, but the same can’t be said for his view of embattled quarterback Justin Fields.

The Jets are 0-7 for the third time in franchise history and Fields was benched at halftime of last week’s 13-6 loss to the Panthers.

Glenn hasn’t decided yet if he will go back to Fields — who is signed to a two-year $40 million contract —or hand the reins to Tyrod Taylor against the Bengals on Sunday.

“It looks like (Glenn) is turning around part of it,” Johnson said Tuesday at the league’s fall owners meeting in Midtown.

“It’s hard when you have a quarterback with the rating that we’ve got. He has the ability, but something is not jiving. If you look at any head coach with a quarterback like that, you are going to see similar results across the league. You have to play consistently at that position and that’s what we’re going to try to do for the remainder of the season.”

Pointing to the “pretty good” defense and special teams, Johnson said he has “more hope” for a turnaround than the skeptics.

“You can’t win with hope,” Johnson said, “but it helps.”

Johnson said he will stay out of the coaching staff’s quarterback decision and expressed confidence that Glenn will “make the right decision with what we’ve got.” It’s hard to envision Glenn not giving an edge to the journeyman Taylor after Johnson’s comments.

“If we could just complete a pass, it would look good,” Johnson said. “You have to convince them that you can do something, otherwise it’s hard to have a game that you can win. … You can’t run the ball if you can’t pass the ball. That’s Football 101.”

The Jets rank No. 27 in points per game (18.4) but the offense has produced just one touchdown in the first three quarters of the last six games, including zero in the first half. That stat matters more than Fields’ misleading 91.1 passer rating.

“I do believe in Aaron,” Johnson said, citing their relationship dating to 1996. “I see the way he handles the room. If I were a player, I would respond to him because he’s the real deal. There’s no B.S. There’s no second agendas. What you are hearing is the truth. A lot of times players don’t get the truth. They get a lot of gobbledygook.”

So, are they responding behind the scenes?

“Yes,” Johnson said, “I think they are.”

Johnson hugs Glenn every day — a tangible vote of confidence — and tells him to “keep the faith.”

“The fans are the best thing we have,” Johnson said, “because they are true green. They have the faith in the team. … It happens in sports – when you get this allegiance to a team, it sticks with you. It sticks with me, and it sticks with them. I’m thankful we have fans like this.”

With the Nov. 4 trade deadline approaching, another one of Johnson’s first-year hires, general manager Darren Mougey, is in the spotlight. Will he try to add a piece — particularly to the barren cupboard at receiver — to jumpstart the offense?

“I think we are looking at every option at all times,” Johnson said. “Always scouring what’s going on in football.”

With three of their core four 2022 draft picks under contract for next season — Garrett Wilson, Sauce Gardner and Jermaine Johnson — Breece Hall’s future with the Jets is in question. He is the subject of trade speculation.

Hall is averaging 4.5 yards per carry and 87.4 yards from scrimmage per game but hasn’t scored a touchdown. He is a free agent after the season, though the Jets have the franchise tag available after inking Wilson and Gardner to four-year extensions and exercising Johnson’s fifth-year option.

“I’m not going to speculate on Breece,” Johnson said. “But I think it’s very important we signed the other two guys. They are great talents. I’ve been around for a while, and they are way up there.”
