deltarich87 Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 99% chance this whole ordeal was mostly just Rodgers stroking his own ego some more. Can't recall another torn achilles injury getting this sort of week to week coverage. In the end, he won't return because the Jets won't have anything to play for anyway, and he'll just say he could've returned if they were in the hunt. He'll then go on McAfee and denounce modern medicine some more while pedaling his magic crystals and homeopathy stuff. Somehow, someway, he'll bring up the "jab" again for no logical reason 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deltarich87 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 It's not either or IMO. Rodgers IS a good team mate, he's also just a huge narcissist. We've known this. Either way, assuming that this isn't all a complete farce and he DOES plan to return to play....IDK how anybody in the Jets org can logically sign off on it. Would just be a monumentally dumb decision on their part - Jets playoff hopes are already on life support and simply one more loss probably seals their fate - Jets need to salvage the trade by getting at least 1 season out of Rodgers. Why risk throwing out a 40 year old 3 months removed from a TORN ACHILLES, on MetLife turf no less, to play 2-3 useless games in the cold in December? There's no doubt that he wouldn't even be near 100% either, so there's just no upside to any of this for either party tbh. Rodgers and the Jets need to be focused on being fully ready for NEXT season to try for their one big hurrah at a SB 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A loss this week and it is over. Rodgers said, if there is no chance of the playoffs he's not coming back. He going to need 3 weeks of practice to be ready. The Jets will be eliminated by then. I don't think Tim Boyle can beat the Falcons, but I also don't think the Falcons can score against the Jets defense. First team with a defensive TD probably wins.

NYJ defense isnt very good vs the run. Giving up 140 ypg. That is Atlanta's strngth offensively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltarich87 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 I don't get why they are even starting Boyle over either Wilson or Siemien. I mean, none of the options are good obviously, but at least those prior 2 have had some highlight games/won some games at the NFL level. I'm all for it though, because the Jets losing out would be ideal for that 2nd round pick heading GB's way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A loss this week and it is over. Not necessarily. The AFC #7 seed (Indy) is 6-5. The #15 seed (Jets) are two games back at 4-7. Obviously there's a whole bunch of teams in between. We're the NFC #8 seed at 5-6. A game behind the #7 seed (Vikings) @ 6-6 We're all talking playoffs. Is it so far from reality that based on record alone the Jets could make the playoffs? Again - I think the Jet FO is trying to rally the troops to make a push. Simply based on how they've been playing (they've lost 4 straight....) I dont think they'll make it - but to say they're out of it is a bit premature. Outside of the division winners, nobody's running away with anything. They're all doing their fair share of losing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccecilnosebleed Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 I don’t put it past Rodgers to want to prove a point and try to come back just to say he did, and considering the state of the Jets overall, perhaps he is thinking about auditioning for a different team next year? I know, wild speculation but.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it has something to do with Boyle’s familiarity with Hackett from their time together in GB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, wild speculation but.. Jets take on a massive amount of deadcap by trading Rodgers. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/new-york-jets/aaron-rodgers-3745/ Pre June 1st: 2024 is $63M dead cap ( $45.8M more than if they keep him) Post June 1st: 2024 is $14M deadcap ( $3.1M savings) and 2025 is $49M deadcap Thankfully that contract is no longer GB problem 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And using "alternative medicine" to come back from a torn Achilles in the same season is the most Aaron Rodgers ego stroke for himself imaginable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever special blend of herbs, reindeer jizz and Dr. Joe Rogan’s secret pills he’s been taking will definitely be available in the marketplace. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
