Whatever Aaron Rodgers does, it elicits mixed reactions from the NFL community, pundits, fans, and even league officials. The NFL offseason saw several high-profile trades, but none bigger than the New York Jets signing the future Hall of Famer quarterback to their dugout. Rodgers, who is moving from the Green Bay Packers to the Jets for the 2023 NFL, has already raised many eyebrows. Not everyone is happy with the 39-year-old’s off-season move. The decision to leave the Packers and join the Jets has also drawn heavy criticism.

One can expect dramatic sparks to fly and comments to be made. After all, it’s the nature of the league that no one is spared blunt criticism and biting remarks. Rodgers has been showering NFL fans with incredible moments of pure brilliance, joy, and ecstasy for nearly two decades. Even then, critics of the New York Jets passed shocking judgment on their performance in the upcoming 2023-24 NFL season.

Aaron Rodgers is one of the most decorated players in NFL history. If he is not the best quarterback of all time, Rodgers has forever cemented his place in the annals of the NFL. That’s probably why critics are divided on Aaron Rodgers’ decision to leave the Packers and join the Jets. The bigger question, however, is whether the move will benefit the New York Jets or sink an already sinking ship.

In conversation with a leading sports website, an NFC scout minced no words and said: “You have to remember, it?s still the Jets,? an NFC scout bluntly said. ?They?re going to suck. George Young used to say, ?The f****** Jets always win the offseason, but when it comes to playing, they?ll always just be the f****** Jets.” An NFL offensive coordinator, while talking to the sports website, defended New York Jets’ manager Joe Douglas’ move to add an experienced quarterback in the pool. “You take two rejects and replace them with a Hall of Famer. Now, the Jets are instant Super Bowl contenders. It?s a tough conference, but New York is definitely in the mix.?

Rodgers is undoubtedly in the final stretch of his NFL career. Still, the 39-year-old has defied age and performed well despite his injuries during the 2022 season. He finished the season as the 11th-best passer in the league. He passed for 3,965 yards, which included 26 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. Not bad for a quarterback his age, right? Recent history doesn’t bode well for the New York Jets either. The team made the postseason for the first time since 2010. They have never won more than seven games since 2015. In the 2022 season, the Jets did win seven games, but fans still haven’t gotten over the shock of losing six games by just one point. Does the experienced Rodgers have a solution in store for the Jets?

What to expect from the Rodgers-Jets combo?

The expectations of New York Jets fans would be over the top. Let’s face it – the player is none other than Aaron Rodgers. He has already won the Super Bowl and is a four-time MVP. He also brings a wealth of experience that can be very useful to the Jets. However, it won’t be easy. AFC scouts still doubt the Jets’ offensive strategy with Rodgers under scrutiny. The veteran quarterback isn’t exactly known for taking chances downfield and ideally avoids taking unnecessary risks.
