This is a ridiculous take. AR is not some green rookie, in fact, he's the complete and total opposite. I am quite certain that he'll have no problem dealing with the "tough big apple press corps." Btw, just because someone is rude, assertive, obnoxious, and persistent, that doesn’t make them "tough" (talking about NY media). LOL. And of course if he leads the Jets to a winning season, then even THEY will "love" him. Edit to add: By winning season, I mean a playoff run, NOT just going 9-8 or similar.

Let me ask you this - who would you rather have as your QB playing in a big game in the playoffs - Aaron Rodgers or Josh Allen? Allen is way more prone to mistakes and isn't as good of a passer or as smart, but a better runner obviously. Allen was seeing ghosts against the Jets if you watched both games last year - if we had competent QB play in the second game the Jets could easily have won both. Allen would much rather play the Chiefs or Bengals D than the Jets D. Rodgers played with a broken thumb for most of last year with no #1 receiver and is one year removed from MVP. Jets have a ton of weapons now with a stingy D. Bills seem to be losing ground to most people outside of the organization and it's fans. BTW, the Jets have a ton of talent on their Oline - their top 5 lineman were on injured reserve last year. That won't happen again. They most likely will have 3 #1 picks starting on the line next season. This team is primed to win the next two years - loads of young talent. BTW, both teams have leverage because GB will crush their cap if they keep Arod, he will make it miserable for them, and they would lose draft compensation if they wait. They are moving on from Rodgers and the Jets are the only team willing to take the huge contract. I think they give up a #2 this year and a conditional 3rd or 2nd if he plays next year. He's older and expensive. Packers are just as desperate as the Jets but don't seem to be as smart as Joe Douglas but we'll see. It will be fun to see what happens. I hope the teams stay healthy. A. Let's weight (see what i did) to see if Becton tips the scales at less than 500 B. You're delusional about a lot, including trade compensation C. "as smart as Joe Douglas" --- didnt expect to read that sentence today, doubt I will ever again D. You appear smarter than our other Jets fan that visits. Did you use talk to text, or did your parole officer help you type that out? 1

Mango Posted March 15, 2023 Posted March 15, 2023 Call me crazy, I watched McAfee today, this very much felt like the immunized vs. vaccinated presser. I intend to play of the Jets. Every single report has been that Rodgers has been holding this up. But today he went all “don’t trust the media” and “GB made it clear they don’t want me around”. I think he likely goes to NYJ, but it had the feel of “it’s not done until it’s done” 1 2 1

I think he likely goes to NYJ, but it had the feel of “it’s not done until it’s done” Rodgers says he “intends” on playing for the Jets. I could see it not happening, allowing him to teach us the definition of intends. He’s free to share any thought he wants, I’m completely in favor of that, but he often says things just to mess around with people to prove his belief he’s more intelligent than fans and media.

That I can debate whether Aaron Rodgers is the best Packer or not? Sure…I can debate it…. His wording is so purposefully odd.

John from Riverside Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 As they say It’s not what about you’ve done in the past it’s about what you’re going to do Is he going to sit on his past achievements because he sounds like a guy that would do that
Since1981 Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 (edited) Jets were a QB short. They get much better/playoff with Rogers. BUT 1 yr and more drama and dic(ishness than “The Bachelorette” and it’s over. Edited March 16, 2023 by Since1981

What does this even mean? He (Rodgers) clearly came out and stated that his intentions are to play for the Jets. Yes, it took a little while to get there, and I'm sure that McAfee wanted him to stretch it out even more, since he had just under a half million people watching on YouTube, but AR was pretty straightforward with his reasons why.

Every other report not coming from Rodgers is that the decision is in his hands at this point. That the Jets and Packers already had a deal agreed upon. Then he went on a whole diatribe about how GB made it clear they don’t want him there anymore and that the hold up is their compensation AND his money/contract. His “intent” is another odd Rodgers ambiguity.

LOL I mean seriously, do you trust ANY of the myriad of talking head sports "experts" on anything?

He just went into a darkness retreat and used garlic and essential oils or some bull#### to "immunize" himself from Covid. I think its probably wise to take everything he says with a grain of salt As for the reporters, if they are AP reporters, they usually have to confirm info with two sources. Rodgers doesn't have to do that and can say whatever the hell he wants to get more attention, which we know he absolutely loves. I would be shocked if the Jets and Packers didnt have a pretty good frame work of a trade before they let him talk to the Jets 1
