Mark Schlereth Bets Big on Aaron Rodgers’ Fitness With Divisional Champion Claims After Jets QB Folded Inside 4 Plays on 9/11

Will the New York Jets end their 55-year-long drought of Super Bowl? Well, that’s the answer every Jets nation wants to know! Bringing in Aaron Rodgers in the team, Green Apple thought the 2023 season will be their show. However, destiny had something else in store for them.

Just four snaps into the game on 9/11 last year, Aaron Rodgers’ Achilles injury during his team’s debut shattered all hopes of winning the championship once more. However, as he has been “unbelievably” recovering from the injury, New York has started building up their hopes for their quarterback once again. This time, former football guard Mark Schlereth also believes in Rodgers’ potential, as he bets on A-Rod’s health.

Is the big bet on Aaron Rodgers worth it?

About two days ago, Mark Schlereth and Mike Evans broke down the NFL teams’ possibility of 2024 season win at The Stinkin Truth Podcast with Mark Schlereth. While discussing the Jets, Schlereth made a big bet on their quarterback, and his most-anticipated plays. He expressed, “I will tell you right now if Aaron Rodgers is healthy for the entire of the season, I think the Jets win the division.”

According to Schlereth, he is confident in the team’s roster, their run game with Breece Hall, the receiving corps, and Aaron Rodgers as quarterback. The sportscaster also praised the improvements in the Jets’ offensive line and the way they operate on the defensive side of the ball. Additionally, he believes their defensive players are strong enough to help them secure the division if Rodgers remains healthy.

The Jets are starting their 2024 preseason in Week 1 against the Commanders at MetLife Stadium on Saturday, August 10th. Exactly one month later, they will kick off against the 49ers in a Monday Night Football game. As New York awaits their quarterback’s emergence from the tunnel, all eyes will be on how well Aaron Rodgers performs in his first game of 2024, hoping to avoid injury.

Aaron Rodgers is expecting a smoother ride!

Aaron Rodgers is set to be the Jets’ starting quarterback in 2024, aiming to lead the team to Super Bowl contention. However, after tearing his Achilles in the first offensive drive last season, concerns linger about his recovery. The injury hampered his impact in Year 1 with the Jets, resulting in a mediocre season with just 7 wins. Known for his resilience, Rodgers immediately began rehab, demonstrating his determination to return. As per the reports, he now remains optimistic, seeing beauty in the struggle and aiming “to give fans a lot to cheer about.”

However, his latest mandatory camp absence has created a buzz among NFL fans with many believing Rodgers isn’t serious about the season. Apart from this, those who believe in him, speculate that A-Rod could have an impressive season, “potentially achieving 4,200 passing yards, 30 touchdowns, and just 7 interceptions.” They believe that although he might not have the same capability, his football IQ still remains high.

At 40, turning 41 in December, Rodgers is ready to lead the Jets back to the playoffs, as he stated, “I’m hoping for a little smoother ride this year,” in May on “The Official Jets Podcast.”
