Because he has to decide where he wants to play. Its funny how this board a week ago was saying Rodgers would be lucky to even find a team. Instead the reality is multiple playoff teams want him. Must hurt huh? Going to hurt even more when hes leading a team to the playoffs next year.
no it doesn’t hurt, I’ve said before I wish him well. I’m glad he’s not here and hope he finds success as long as it’s not in the AFC East and it doesn’t seem like it will be If he really is making teams wait on him he might regret that. He might only have a real offer from the Giants though
Why would any of it hurt? Best move for our future. I wish him well. But if he wants to retire a winner Giants is not a destination.
The Giants are nowhere near a playoff team. They should’ve cleaned out their shitty GM and coach after the year but they didn’t and it might be the most desperate regime I’ve ever seen. That’s sad to say considering we’re Jets fans. Rodgers to the Giants is a disaster for both sides. I think he’d be decent in Pittsburgh but only because the defense is always electric. Him + the pissy ass personalities of DK and George Pickens is a nightmare waiting to happen. It’d be tough for any QB to fail in Minnesota with those receivers, and that head coach.
Because the one he really wants to go to the dance with, Minny, is undecided on him. Rodgers is stuck waiting on them while PITT/NYG are then stuck waiting on Rodgers. This is some high school prom stuff. That's all
Minnesota would be so funny. He dislikes Favre so much and then follows Favres exact career path, you couldn’t write that script. I hope he does sign there
There is absolutely no way Jets fans will not be angry if Rodgers goes to another team and wins while the Jets have another losing season. You might be ok with it but many people wont. Its amazing that two teams who have won regularly want Rodgers (Steelers and Vikings) and a head coach that has been to the playoffs (Daboll) wants Rodgers yet the Jets who haven't been to the playoffs in 14 years don't want him. It speaks for itself, hence why the Jets will remain the Jets, a losing disgraceful franchise. If Rodgers wins next year and the Jets dont then Glenn is on the hot seat in year two. He better hope it doesnt happen. The worst case scenario would be Rodgers going to the Giants and winning. That would be death blow to the new regime if they lose next year.
I can assure you that, as a Jets fan since they were the Titans, I will not give even the slightest portion of a crap if Rodgers goes to another team and not only wins but wins the Super Bowl, setting a scoring record in the process. Your mileage may vary but I have just proven that you do not speak for "Jets fans."
I wanted Rodgers here, and I’m not going to be mad if he wins elsewhere. The window here was 2 years, and our former GM and coach lied to the fanbase and ownership claiming we were a SB caliber team. We weren’t and aren’t close to being one, so nothing Rodgers could have done to change that.
I just don’t get how any fan of this team is a Rodgers fan boy. The organization made an enormous amount of awful decisions to accommodate him here. Whether he had any influence on that or not is irrelevant. I like Rodgers as a person and I think if he was healthy in 2023 we would’ve made the playoffs with that defense. But it’s been an unmitigated disaster here since his arrival.
Not his fault Woody and the NY Jets hierarchy were too weak to handle him. Still 2025 would've been the payoff if they had stuck with him. I'm not a Rodgers fanboy I just acknowledge who he is in NFL history and have nothing but the utmost respect for his professionalism last season and hanging in there until the end of another lost Jets season. 2023 was typical Jets luck. 2024 was Woody Johnson's fault for pulling the plug on everything after only 5 games.
For me it'd be more torture ESPECIALLY if it's with the Giants. To watch that up close & personal every week, like pouring lemon juice & salt on a open wound. At least if it's with the Steelers it's away from New York and the Steelers are always good so not as if they're only good because of him. Even if he does put them over the top. It should've been us is what I'd be thinking.
It’d be torture with the Giants because they suck balls as a team, so it would prove Rodgers was capable of taking a ball sucking team to the playoffs when he couldn’t take our shitty team. I expect PIT and MIN to be good, all Rodgers would have to do is not suck balls himself.
He would not get through the season in 2023. Let' suppose that injury does not happen on the 4th play. We still had Duane Brown as a starter. Then we had Billy Turner, Max, Warren. Remember, Becton, while was good as a RG in Philly later, was one of the worst starters at OT in the NFL that year. Our best OT that year was Carter Warren, basically a PS guy, who was also a rookie. Interior sucked too. If he does not get hurt in game 1, he gets hurt in game 3, etc. Every time in 2024 our OL was not great, Rodgers payed like shit and would get hurt. Well, these worst OL games in 2024 would be some of the best in 2023. And btw in 2023 we didn't have Adams either, and no chance to acquire him at that time. But the biggest thing was JD fucked the OL and gave us no chance in 2023 either way.
Even as somebody who is firmly in the belief camp that the best reasonably possible 2025 Jets team has Aaron Rodgers on it...idk. It didn't "work" (and by work i mean give us a realistic chance to go .500+. superbowl was always a bs fantasy) because we didn't have anybody in the offense coaching room with a clue, and we needed our offense to consistently do a lot better then a Nathaniel Hackett driven system is ever going to be capable of. Especially with a defense that had already peaked a season prior. There is really nothing there to suggest that fundamental problem would of actually been fixed in 2025. Hell, I'm not sure it's even 100% clear yet that we have even fired Hackett as of today. I mean even without Rodgers in the picture we arguably still aren't making the real effort i'd of liked to fix that problem. We seem way more hyper focused in on and have all the 'fix' chips pushed into some surface concept that Aaron Glenn's "intangibles" are just going to be a magic wand fix to everything around it. Including the offense with a very VERY questionable OC hire.
Thats the best part. Tomlin and Oconnel, two quality head coaches are confident enough to handle him but the Jets aren't. Its why the jets will remain the Jets while the winning teams remain winning teams.
We just had him though and didn't win. And Tomlin won with Fields last year, whom they also wanted over Rodgers. Both the Jets and the exact guy you are talking about, Tomlin, wanted Fields over Rodgers. And we have him. Above is not a valid argument at all, because you are bringing up the coach who also wanted the QB we got over the one we let go!!!
They wanted fields at a cheap price. They didn't want him over Aaron Rodgers. If they did they would have paid Fields what they will pay Rodgers. Also Glenn didn't have a season with Rodgers. Saleh did. Glenn could have but decided he did not want him in 2025 meanwhile two winning head coaches do. IMO shows weakness on Glenns part that Tomlin not afraid to coach Rodgers but Glenn is. Tomlin is proven winning coach. Glenn is a rookie. Tomlin wants Rodgers. Glenn kicked Rodgers to the curb. The Steelers will continue to win. The Jets will continue to lose.
Where do you get this information from? I already posted info from multiple sources where Steelers preferred Fields and Russ and Rodgers were waiting in the wings. From very reputable sources, like Shefty and Rapsheet. I mean you can believe what you want to believe no matter if the evidence suggests otherwise, but the most credible sources suggested they wanted Fields as #1 option, but he came here. If you want to believe literally a made up story that you just made up that Rodgers was their top choice, go ahead.
