PossibleCabbage Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 I really wonder how much Rodgers is inserting himself into the narrative is because if he wasn't the questions would be more along the lines of "by all rights, the Jets should replace their offensive coaching staff after a dreadful showing in 2023, but Hackett is Rodgers' buddy" which would be uncomfortable for him.

ThatJerkDave Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 If you are the Jets, don't you just write this one off as a loss and give it another go next year? What good can happen with putting a hobbled Rodgers out there behind a line that can't protect the much younger Zach Wilson? They still have a game against that Cleveland defense later this season. Take your losses, get a good draft pick, and actually scout linemen this offseason. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that still the narrative regardless? I check the Jets subreddit a lot (shaudenfreude? sadism?) and they all talk about feeling held hostage by Rodgers, who they're afraid will retire if they fire Hackett, release Cobb, bench Lazard, etc. Even Saleh and Douglas's jobs would almost certainly be up in the air if there wasn't this question of Rodgers looming over the franchise at all times. I am so happy he's not our problem anymore... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was trying to motivate the team and probably authentic in his intent to make a return for a playoff run. That would have been quite a legacy in the book of Rodgers. Now that they are basicallly done, he will be in bubble wrap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazrimiv Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 The best part is, the Jets have no choice but to convince themselves this year was a fluke and next season will be their year. The reality is that things are only going to get worse. They need to cut their losses and move on, but from a practical standpoint they can't. Sound familiar? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packfanfb Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Rodgers isn't going to play this year. After the Jets lose another 1-2 games, he'll come out and say "well I would have played, but since we aren't in the playoff hunt, I'm not." That's all this is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
