How to evaluate Aaron Rodgers’ legacy after this Jets disaster
NY Post
Now that Aaron Rodgers has little to look forward to, how will we look back on his career?
He came to the Jets with an opportunity afforded to few legends, to end a beleaguered franchise’s 50-plus-year title drought, to become an immortal in New York, akin to Joe Namath, Willis Reed and Mark Messier.
Rodgers’ first season ended in four snaps. His second season has somehow been just as disappointing, as the future Hall of Famer has barely improved upon the efforts of Zach Wilson. Rodgers owns the 23rd-best passer rating for the league’s 26th-ranked offense, winning one of the past seven games and likely ensuring the NFL’s longest playoff drought will continue.
Even if Rodgers returns next season, it’s hard to imagine the soon-to-be 41-year-old consistently playing at an All-Pro level again. And it’s hard not to see how much more his career could have been.
