If Rodgers still wants to play in 2025 I'm cool with it. I hope he does. I'll respect him even more if he hangs in there and takes his lumps in what is looking like another lost Jets season. Continue playing, shake off the rust, in a weird sort of way pay his dues as a Jet which he didn't do during the offseason by missing minicamp, not playing in preseason. Fire the entire coaching staff. Hopefully make the right decision at HC and coordinators this time. And give it another go in 2025.
Woody and JD is going to have to live it. They made the deal with AR which I didn’t want first. Backfired them big time. The team has no mega draft picks and gave them away. jD has made several deals and it’s bad.
And all that is realistically going to come out of that is we get to push the full blow it all rebuild 1 more year down then line then when it should be happening. We probably are better off just conceding 2025 entirely if it gets that ball rolling a year early. I'd rather just be among the very worst teams in the league without Aaron Rodgers and be talking about the top 1-2 QB picks in the draft 2 years from now.
I’ve been right so many times. Aaron isFavre all over again but worse. Favre loved the game, Aaron loves that the game pays for his drug and traveling interests
You're entitled to your opinion. I can see your point of view. I respect it. As for me been there, done that. I don't want to see that again just yet. There's nothing that says the Jets can't draft a QB in round 1 or round 2 or round 3 to groom him to take over for Rodgers after he's gone. Aaron Rodgers makes the Jets relevant even now at 2-6 and very likely to get worse they'll be talked about. I think he still has gas left in the tank. The Jets have weapons at WR with Wilson & now Adams. They need a offensive minded HC who knows how to design a modern NFL offense and how to call a offensive game. It's a pass first league now the Jets have the people in place to play that style of game. How it goes is usually QBs suffer torn ACL it takes them a full year to really come back from the injury. If Aaron Rodgers hangs in there in what is looking like another lost Jets season I will hold him in the highest regard possible. Like the man in my avatar. There still could be some positives coming out of this dismal Jets 2024 season. For 2025.
For all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: "Aaron Rodgers makes the Jets relevant even now at 2-6."
He brought the team down the field today for the go ahead score at the end. The defense choked away the lead. I'm NOT saying he played great today. But this offense is broken and the Jets have people coaching that aren't qualified for the position. Interim coaches. Today there was one play the tv guy pointed out two Jets receivers were running a route within five yards of each other something like it. Totally broken in its design. #31 in rushing calling the game as if it's Ground N Pound taking the ball out of Rodgers hands. Incompetence.
Today the Jets were the first team to lose a game in which they did not turn the ball over and held their opponent under 250 yards since Week 3 of 2012. In 2012, Aaron Rodgers and the Packers lost, 14-12, to the Seahawks in the "Fail Mary" game. Since that game, teams to do that had been 220-0 until today.
Rodgers the player is one thing, he's certainly far from the worst offender in terms of on field performance. But he's not just a player. He's the reason they're running this offense that no one else seems to be able to grasp or execute, and he's the reason the incompetent coach is here in the first place and still collecting a paycheck despite not being qualified to run a pee wee football offense.
I'm guessing defacto GM Aaron Rodgers' voice in the room says the Jets can't do that, and that the pick would be better served filling a visible team need (which we most certainly will have) that helps the 2025 reboot effort. We'd need the type of smart owner with a spine who would/could step in and say "enough already" to prevent that inevitability from playing itself in this surrounding situation. And Woody just ain't that guy.
