New York Jets and the Green Bay Packers are in trade talks for superstar quarterback, Aaron Rodgers. While the NFL fraternity is well familiar with this news, the most recent is the signing of Tim Boyle as Rodgers’ backup. Tim Boyle is a former teammate of A-Rod and the decision completely makes sense keeping in mind the dismal last season the legendary QB had. An expert stated this fact and thinks that the Lions came out to be their nemesis. 

As fas as the trade is concerned, despite the uncertainty, experts tell it will eventually happen in the first-round pick as some sources speculate tells it will take place around the draft’s second day. The trade is going to be a big deal if it happens, but experts asked why so much hype. And also pointed to last season’s performance against Detroit Lions.

The Detroit Lions stopped Rodgers, said experts

The New Year Jets’ expectation for Aaron Rodgers is still unclear and the experts questioning the hype surrounding it. As experts show the Detroit Lions as the factor. The experts commented, “The Lions stopped him last season he was eight and nine 64.6 completion percentage 26 and 12 touchdown interceptions passed a rating of 91″.

Going back to last season in Packers’ Week 9 game against the Lions, Rodgers was seen struggling on the ground and threw three interceptions which cost a lot for his team. The Lions were successful in stopping him and Rodgers played arguably one of the worst games of his massive career. Big entities like Lil Wayne also showed their disappointment, tweeting, “RIP to the season we should’ve gotten rid of 12 before the season”.

The Lions’ defense was ranked dead last in the last NFL season. The Lions were allowing rival teams to more than 260 passing yards per game and also to score touchdowns on their red zone trips. Despite this, Rodgers seen unsuccessful to capitalize on their weaknesses.

Rodgers’ performance was particularly discouraging. Since 2013, this was his first multi-interception game against divisional opponents. Also, he had only two interceptions in the red zone if we look at his previous two MVPs campaigns.

The Jets’ expectation for Aaron Rodgers

The Jets have shown their overwhelming expectations and a serious interest in acquiring superstar quarterback, Aaron Rodgers. But looking at Rodgers last year performance, he had a worse season last year. Rodgers’ performance was not great last season and even worse than the performance of Russell Wilson and Matthew Stafford. Also, the Packers were eliminated from the playoff contention in the last season.

Rodgers’ last year performance was discouraging as he missed the playoffs and had a record of 8-9 with a completion percentage of 64.6%, 26 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions with a passer rating of 91.1. While looking at Wilson and Stafford last season, Wilson had a better season and Stafford had better statistics than Rodgers. A-Rods’ expectation to perform well with the Jets can be too high, especially when the team’s objective is to make the playoffs.
