Based on all the time you spent in the Packers locker room as a teammate?

 

I wasn't talking about him as a teammate.  Keep reading the thread and you'll find my response to your question.

Wow have to be excited if you’re a Jets fan, instant contenders this year. 

 

Wouldn’t be shocked at all if they make a run for the SB.

 

That defense is scary good. Unlike the Bills top 5 defenses that have been a lot of smoke and mirrors, the Jets defense is the real deal.

 

They don’t even need HOF Rodgers. They just need “slight above average” Rodgers.

 

Jets lost 7 games last season where they scored 12 of less points. They lost 5 games where the Jets defense gave up 20 or less points.

 

If Rodgers just is average. Scores 20 points per game. The Jets will be extremely hard to beat.

I'm more worried about that defense. The Bills had a rough time against it last season and lost to zack Wilson led jets because of that defense. Anyone saying that this is not an upgrade for the jets is silly. Im not predicting anything other that a dog fight in the arc east.

The Jets are we’re quarterbacks go to die

Let’s hope and Rodgers looked as bad as he ever has last year. But that team is pretty loaded and you would have been an upgrade at qb last year.

 

A A Ron is a total weirdo and seems like it could be a terrible match up with the media in NY/ NJ. But slightly below average qb play would have gotten them to the playoffs. Our division definitely is the hardest it’s been since we got good. It might be the best division in the nfl.

Brady to Bucs or Manning to DEN.

 

Hopefully, this is closer to Favre to NYJ than those two.

They got a lot for a guy that was clearly not gonna play for the packers regardless…rodgers injury aside they’re getting two seconds and a better first.

Not exactly what I meant,

Yep.

Difference is that Favre didn’t go to a Jets team with a great RB, exciting young WR, and best defense in the NFL.

No other way around it, this blows.

 

They have an incredible defense. Great RB. Exciting young WR. And now a HOF QB.

 

If Rodgers can just put up 20 points per game, that’s a playoff team.

Hard to disagree. But one thing to remember: it’s the Jets and something always goes wrong! 

[Bookie Man]

Jets should be good. SHOULD be. Remember how dangerous the Broncos were going to be last season with Russell Wilson?

The crazy part of Farve was ended up being really good the next year and almost went to the SB with Minny.

Same issues for the jets as the Russell Wilson broncos too…although the jets offensive line isn’t broncos bad lol

Anyone pretending a HoF QB to NJ doesn’t matter is just that - pretending. 
 

Still, if NJ does crumble and miss the playoffs, then it will be all so much sweeter to watch.

Also they pretty much sold out to compete for the next 2 or so years.  They could’ve used those picks to build a sustainably good roster

I’m not sure they’re better then Miami. 
 

Any other HOF QBs want to come to the AFC meat grinder?

Bring it on, I hope we can slap this arrogant bastard around twice a year. Rogers better hope that they don't loose too many in a row because the NY City press & sports fans well turn on him quick---won't be the soft treatment like Green Bay. Can't Wait.

[The 9 Isles]

Lol. 
 

 

Aaron Rodgers Retires From Professional Football To Play With The Jets

[Success]

Patriots fans are in full cope mode.

 

At least we still have the best QB in the division, and a great team.  The Patriots should now finish in last place, barring crazy circumstances.

Let's hope the Jets are the Broncos

Miami is the Chargers

And we're KC

They also let a HOF WR go and he had 2 rookies to bring up to speed.

 

It's very likely going to break down this way.  Their defense is good - but at the end of the season their numbers looked a lot like buffalo's on a per game basis.  They get a last place schedule too which helps them.  We get Jags, Bucs, Bengals - they get Browns Texans Falcons... Jags and bengals are likely the best 2 in that group.

 

Offense:

Wilson looks legit, Hall has some home run ability there, offensive line has some pieces but they had a lot of injuries there last year.  Their WR's behind Wilson don't really jump out to me.  I think they'll try to get a lineman in the first.  I expect they'll keep most passes close to the LOS and use Rodgers quick release, and only really ask him to do much on 3rd downs and in the RZ.

 

Reed and Gardner are for real, Williams has turned a corner from good to great, and they have some good rotational depth pieces there.  My concern if i was a fan of their team is that they had 10 games where they scored fewer than 20 points.  They were 1-9 in those games, and in some of them it was abundantly clear that if the team playing the Jets didn't turn the ball over, they would probably win.  I don't know how to quantify, and it isn't an exact science, but when you're playing a team with literally no offense it has to seep in a little bit to the offense/coaching staff to play a different game.

Hopefully this trade encourages Beane to go make a play for Dhop
