The better players we get, the worse off we are.
Sounds like a curse to me

Aaron Rodgers
- Thread starter LRJets
- Start date
Wilson still has one fan left/
I wouldn't worry. From the start, the problem (delusion) has been that Woody/JD/Saleh believed the myth that Rodgers was going to reprise his glory years here with the Jets. I don't believe he was ever going to light it up. But now, after the injury, that pipe dream is only in the minds of people on the pipe.
The NY Post is concerned that Rodgers could jeopardise the Jets 2024 season by returning early and getting re-injured. IMO this would be the best thing for the 2024 season, as long as he took it as a cue to retire.
If he does play in 2024 I see one of two outcomes:
a) He doesn't turn the Jets into a playoff team.
b) He has two or three games which have folk on here talking about playoffs (it doesn't take much) then gets his terminal injury. Somewhere in the bowels of Metlife the janitor is swabbing the floor when Zach is told to drop his mop and bucket and find his helmet and pads in order to rush on in relief.
Jets are activating the 21-day practice window for Rodgers. This is going to be such an epic, Jetsy moment. Get your popcorn ready.
Rodgers--and his healing achilles repair--should feel relaxed, comfortable, and confident behind our O Line.
Then we can start the inevitable rebuild that starts in 2025, but we can start it in 2024.
The best would be to sign him to a five year deal as the Hail Mary Passer only, That way he could play to age 45 at a reduced rate, This would give us at least two more wins in the next five years......any improvement helps. Exciting games with sack as the qb going into the last drive of the game with then score zero zero.......This all depends on JD drafting more guys on the DL..
Joe Namath's view (and mine as well):
Insiders routinely mention that Rodgers essentially is making significant Jets-related decisions behind the scenes. Namath believes Rodgers shouldn't have the final say in this matter.
"I hope that Woody and Christopher, if that’s what it takes, say, 'No, you are not, Aaron,'" Namath told Tom Rock of Newsday. "Aaron, being the team guy he is, probably wants to come back and play, but if I was the owner, no. I don’t care. No. We are not going to risk it with the team and the situation the way it is, with the offensive line. What have we got to gain by putting our most valuable player without having played more than a couple of snaps in the games coming up? Save him for next year. Please."

Joe Namath makes passionate plea to Jets, Aaron Rodgers
New York Jets legend Joe Namath suggested that Jets chairman Woody Johnson and vice chairman Christopher Johnson should step in, if necessary, to stop quarterback Aaron Rodgers from returning to the lineup this season.

I’m really looking forward to seeing Aaron play this year if he safely can do it but there isn’t any reason for him or the Jets to risk it. By that Commanders game, the Jets will either be 4-10 or 5-9 at most, so why bother? Rest and heal up the rest of the season and come back next year in hopefully a much better situation.

This team will not win with this GM or HC.
Or any other GM or HC
Doesn’t seem like they’ll win with any GM or HC. They haven’t done it since 1969!
My thoughts exactly!
He couldn't even do that right when he was healthy for 4 plays.
LOL I'm gonna say he can hand it off and call it a season
