The 2024 NFL season has been one crazy ride for the New York Jets. And Aaron Rodgers? He is caught right in the mix. With the team struggling big time, everyone’s buzzing about his future. So, let’s break down this whole situation without any fluff.

We have got to talk about the elephant in the room—the GOAT status of Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers’ status as the best quarterback? Yeah, that seems to be in jeopardy. Former NFL player LeSean McCoy stirred the pot with his wild statements. All when he questioned whether Rodgers really deserves to be called the Greatest of All Time (GOAT). He loves the guy’s skills, no doubt. But let’s face it! Rodgers has only one Super Bowl win to show for it. McCoy said: “As much as we want to talk about how great he is and things he’s done. He’s the best thrower of the football we’ve ever seen … but he hasn’t won.” When asked whether he was taking Rodgers out of the GOAT conversation, McCoy answered with an enthusiastic “Yea!”

Yeah, Rodgers has two MVPs and that Super Bowl ring. But here we are with the Jets. Sitting at a miserable 2-5. The stats are decent: 1,663 yards, 10 touchdowns, seven picks. But that team record? Oof. It’s hard to think that such a talented player can face so much doubt. If Rodgers can’t turn this team around, does he even belong in the GOAT conversation? It’s wild how one season can flip the narrative on his legendary status.

Rodgers himself gets it. After the Pittsburgh loss, he mentioned that the energy level was “a little flat.” That’s putting it lightly. It’s not just him; the whole fanbase feels it. This season which was supposed to be a fresh start, now feels like a major letdown instead.

“Beat up” – The New York Jets’ struggles and Aaron Rodgers’ future

After another rough loss to the Steelers, folks are starting to wonder: is this the end for Rodgers? ESPN’s Rich Cimini laid it out that if the Jets miss playoffs, he might be packing his bags. “He’s just not playing well… I think his body is beat up,” Cimini said. That’s the reality check we all hate to see.

Now, his contract goes through 2025, but there’s a problem—his salary isn’t guaranteed next year. If the Jets keep tanking, we might just see him hang it up for good. At 41 next year, the body isn’t bouncing back like it used to.

So, what’s next for the Jets? And where do they go from here? They need to turn things around fast. Rodgers has new teammates like Davante Adams and Haason Reddick coming in, but can that spark anything? They need to start stacking some wins, and that responsibility weighs heavily on him.

Aaron Rodgers and the Jets are under intense scrutiny, and the outlook isn’t great. With the GOAT debate gaining steam and significant doubts about his future swirling, all eyes are on what comes next. Can Rodgers turn things around, or is this the end of his journey? Time will tell, but it’s sure to be a dramatic ride ahead.
