2 years removed from major injury, in the right system he would be a pretty big upgrade for a lot of teams

 

The Jets were such a dumpster fire last year. Would he be a viable starter for a more stable organization? Maybe. I’m just glad the Bills don’t have to think about it 

Same old story. Another franchise will be selling this tired story to their fans and get them hyped for another year of letdown. I'm glad we have a QB.

If this happens Daboll and Schoen may both gone before Thanksgiving.

 

Maybe before Halloween.

 

But if they think this is a good idea, they should both be fired tomorrow.  Shortcut to the inevitable.

 

Can you say desperation?

Yup. Giants should be targeting Sam Darnold if they want to get a veteran. Rodgers does nothing for them

 

My point only was, I can see why they would be interested

Btw I think Rodgers is a moron/A hole. Who breaks up with Olivia Mann?

 

Parenthetically, this is the most insightful TBD comment since the off-season started.

Why does anyone want Rodgers? Pretty confusing.

Idk. Brett Favre went to the Jets for a year and stunk it up. Then he goes to the NFC the following year and had the most efficient & arguably best season of his career. People should think before they write off Aaron Rodgers so quickly. An injury like he sustained could take a couple of seasons to fully heal especially at his age. And the most obvious reason being the Jets are the by far most dysfunctional organization in all of sports. I’m not sure even sure Allen or Mahomes could produce a winning record there. They are that bad. Love or hate him, Rodgers is a competitor. He wouldn’t get to the level he’s been to without having a chip on his shoulder. I don’t think he wants to go out like the way he did. Being pretty similar to Josh Allen, I am very intrigued about what AR could do in the Daboll system.

Favre didn't really stink with the Jets. Yeah, he threw a lot of INT's, but he always did that. He did go to the Pro Bowl that year. He had a great season with Minnesota the next year, though. That's true.

The problem is not as much his ability (although that has diminished a lot), the problem is his personality and attitude and I don't think you are changing that at this point.

The parallels are pretty similar.

Aaron would do well on the little giants

Except Minnesota had a great roster that just needed a QB. The Giants have a lot of other problems.

Giants are instant contenders with Rodgers.

 

Shouldn't we root for Schoen and Daboll to be successful? They are our staffs only tree branches

Rogers is a douchenosel. I would lose respect for the Giants if they get him.

I'm in the minority, but I actually thought Rodgers was decent to finish out the year. 

 

In an NFC where you have the Eagles superteam and then a bunch of teams with meh QB's or the hope Jaden Daniels doesn't pull a Stroud, it's not the worst idea if they can't get in range for Cam Ward or Shadeur Sanders (assuming they like either of them).

Rodgers on field last season showed he can still be a decent starting caliber QB. The issue is he comes with so much off field baggage. 

He will not make a bad team into a SB contender so what’s the point Imo. Just wasting a year. And it’s not even like the NYG or Browns could draft a guy too and sit him behind this quack to learn.

Except Favre could actually still move as i recall. The thing I hate about aaaaaron the most is his addiction to blaming everyone but himself. It’s like maybe that flew when he was an mvp even though he was still a massive jerk back then but now that he’s washed it ruins teams 

[TheFunPolice]

Favre had a pretty serious biceps injury when he was on the Jets too. 

 

Either way, I don't think either guy (Favre or Rodgers) really wanted to go to the Jets, regardless of what they say/said. They wanted out of GB and GB wanted to control where they went. 

 

GB even put it into the deal that if the Jets traded Favre to the Vikings they had to pay extra picks. Of course, releasing him ended that.

Literally I cannot see why the Giants have interest in staving off their ultimate need to draft a QB other than the best they have is Danny DeVito lol...  the only thing more strange is why would Aaron Rodgers want to go to a tire fire and get killed for his last year in the league, unless its just he doesnt want to move houses... stay tuned this could get good LOL.... 

[stuvian]

The Giants sat on their hands when they drafted high enough to make a move for a QB in the very good classes that brought us Stroud, Daniels, Penix, Richardson, Williams, etc. If they sit on their hands again, the Daboll - Schoen era will pass with Big Blue never having taken a swing.

 

The whole point of hiring Daboll was that he is a reputed QB whisperer. I don't give the Mara family a pass either. They would be better served trying a reclamation project like Zach Wilson, Carson Wentz or Jameis Winston. How ironic would it be that the QB whisperer coach would be pared with an aging veteran long past the point of refining his game.

Malik Nabers and Davante Adams (if he followed Rodgers to the Giants) would instantly be the best 1-2 duo in the league. Add Slayton in the slot and that is some serious fire power. If the Giants add a few nice pieces in free agency and have a good draft then it’s not too far-fetched to think they could put together a good season. The planets would have to align, but this is what I’m doing if I’m GM. At the very least it would sell some seats.
