I really have to wonder whether Rogers' Diva attitude is a negative in the locker room. The team watched players traded away to bring in his friends. It just sets a really bad tone for team unity. Also, as Pats DL said, he's just not moving like he used to. Breece Hall needs more carries.
Two things can be true. Rodgers has generally played like crap, yet with a decent kicker the Jets are .500 or better.
I think Rodgers is pretty banged up…hamstring…foot…knee. That’s why he isn’t moving well…oh that and being 40.
Let's say this.
In a vacuum, it's not over for the Jets at 3-6. Particularly with a 17 game schedule. On the other hand, they cannot get games back that they've already lost which they probably should have won. They probably have to go 7-1, minimum to make the playoffs and they'll still probably need help with tie-breakers.
Rodgers was something like 7 of 14 for 35 yds in the first half.
I really need to find a new team to root for.
He's done. At the moment Sam Darnold will be a free agent. I know the Jets needed an OT, but I was surprised they didn't just take McCarthy and let him sit behind Rogers.
The GM and coach had to win this year or lose their jobs…they weren’t picking a qb to carry the clipboard behind Rodgers. Fashanu was the right call. Especially with all the OL injuries last year and a 40 yo QB coming off an achilles injuty.
he Jets were in "Win Now" mode and were evidently more than confident that a 40 year old coming off a serious leg injury and possible (more than a) touch of CTE, could return to his former MVP caliber self.
What they need is a new owner. They mey get that for a few years if Woody goes off and plays ambassador again. Chris Johnson didn’t do much better, but at least he seems to be a decent person and not an impetous tool like Woody.
I think they have to. The Jets will have to absorb $49M in dead money otherwise. However they can't not pick up a young QB with upside going into the 2025 season. Who that would be for them, I have no idea. I also wouldn't expect Rodgers to be a mentor.
I'm not sure how to answer that. If money was no issue, I'd cut him this morning. He's a 49m hit to the cap next year no matter if he plays or retires, so if he wanted to come back and Hackett was gone and they got a coach I could maybe get some excitement towards? I mean, I guess? Tough to pay him all that money for, in essence, 7-8 games that meant anything at all.
I liked Rex…but they don’t need another defensive head coach.
Do you think he is a positive or negative in the clubhouse. I think he had a lot of positive energy when he got there. Players seemed to like him and respect him. but i think the more they see of him…they realize he is a fraud.
