Speaking of which, who is the next coach that gets fired?
Pederson or Daboll would have my bet.

I don't think Rodgers is washed, he still seems to have a good enough arm, and vet QBs can get by in a lot of experience and savvy, in theory. Peyton did it in his final year as a pro with an absolute noodle arm.

The problem is he thinks he can be a de-facto OC, and while some great QBs have done that and been successful (Peyton Manning, TB12), Rodgers is actually legitimately *awful* at it. He needs to go somewhere with a good offensive coach or coordinator and play within scheme like he did with MLF in his MVP years.

Also, he chokes in the playoffs, so he's better for a team with low expectations like NYJ, where just getting to the playoffs will make him a hero, not a team that actually needs to win a Lombardi bc he can't get over the hump.

But which coach and GM wants to take on the drama in the hopes that they can make it work, at risk of their job? If the Jets don't take him back next year that's probably it for him.

Rodgers whole problem is that he thinks hes smarter than any and all of his coaches.

He eventually thought he was smarter than McCarthy, he would not submit to lafleur as they had to create a "Rodgers-Lafleur Offense Love Child" blah blah, then he wouldnt hug Selah because he wanted everyone to know "Selah had nothing to do with the td"

Well what players are elite near 40 just off their own talent? Brady liked to be coached, brees liked to be coached by payton, manning liked to be coached.

Rodgers thinking he is above reproach when he hasnt won a title since 2010 is why he sucks

Can’t see him back with the Jets as they are going full rebuild. Browns, Giants, Raiders, Titans, Pats and maybe Rams if Stafford hangs them up or Dolphins if Tua gets another concussion. Cowboys are stuck with Dak I think otherwise that might have some interest.

If this was a normal team and a normal 40+ year old QB, I'd do a 1-year draft and groom. AR's contract is built so that 2025 is meant to be his last season with the Jets, anyways.

Fat chance of that happening.

I don't see AR staying with a new GM and HC, who won't bend the knee to His Highness. Davante and Lazard will be gone. No more wish lists, no more building to with AR, it'll be all building to winning after AR.

The Jets went All-In. And when that busts, it's All-Out and a 15-year-long vicious circle of suck continues...

I would bet that he's done after this year. His heart isn't in the game. He believes he is meant for bigger endeavors.

This is what I think, too. At 42 years old, we should also probably acknowledge that is just fine. He deserves to move on to the next chapter of his life. Like Favre has said many times, though, it's hard to know when that's it. Can he play? Yes. Does he want to do everything it takes to play at an elite level next season? I think that answer is no, but only Aaron knows for sure.

:mob:
They were idiots for toying with bubble-wrapping him for the rest of the season as QB4. An honest demotion to QB2, or straight up cut probably woulda been understood, but not that public humiliation. Locker room essentially mutinied.

Now he will be in speed dial for playoff teams that suffer a QB injury.

It's after the trade deadline, so technically, we has to pass through waivers first. Shouldn't be an issue given his contract, but a formality, nonetheless. There are teams with less at the position that could potentially take a swing at him.
