Isn’t it week 13?
Rodgers is now the Thanksgiving turkey with the built in thermometer, and it just popped out.
Time to take him out of the oven. He’s finished.
Jets coach was asked if he's contemplating making a change at QB. "Not as of today". Which might just mean he knows it's not his decision.
Which franchise is sadder: The Jest or the Brownies? Or the Gints?Quote:

And these are the guys who weren't all that great begin with. That looked like a cluster, so I picked Seattle. Still, New Jersey put up a fight and like 5-6 other losses, almost won. Rodgers is throwing shorter, faster, and trying to get runs going, but it's a slog (only three QBs in the top 30 have a shorter pocket time - 2.3 sec). O-line matters, just ask SF (Williams) and the Vikings (resurrected Sam Darnold likes the time he has to throw - longest pocket time of any QB at 2.7sec average). Not to mention competent coaching. Rodgers has more yards than Love, but has almost no completions over 20 yards.

I was thinking of a slight different question. Which made the biggest mistake at QB? Probably the Browns BUT all the shitty roster and coaching moves that came with Rodgers make it a closer call.Quote:

Rodgers turned 41 today and sure looks finished. Hasn't cracked 300 yards in 3 years and is struggling to crack 250 with Adams and Wilson and Hall at skill positions.
QBs get washed up because their legs go before their arms do - can't move well in the pocket or outrun those 23 year olds trying to kill you anymore.
The word is that the Jets don't want Rodgers back, even if he says he wants to be back. My guess is at the end of the season he makes some mysterious comments about his future, but with a new GM and HC coming in you can bet they will want to start over.
They went from Super Bowl aspirations to out of the playoffs by week 13, and they didn't have 49er bad injury luck as an excuse.
Watch Mark Davis throw money at Rodgers to play (poorly) for LV, maybe they can give back the pick to the Jets and take Adams too lol
Honestly, there aren't many good landing spots for Rodgers and I have to think most GMs (and sane owners) aren't going to want that mess.
Yeah, that's why I asked that question. All three messed up. I think Jones isn't as bad as the other two, but a case can be made.Quote:

If Butte is truthful about his ego death, he’ll sign with the Packers to backup the Lovemaker. I bet Packers could get a 2nd rounder for Good Willis Hunting.
He hasn't had an up year since 2021. Every HOFer also ages out.
Came here to say this. The numbers don't lie. He's done. (Thankful for the Lombardi run, though. He was amazing in his heyday. But then....)Quote:

Any team lining up to sign a 41 year old QB is asking for trouble and a future top 10 draft pick.
As for who made the biggest mistake (NYJ, CLE, or NYG), I'd go with CLE. They gave up a lot of draft capital AND then gave a sex pest a fully guaranteed contract while litigation was ongoing. His injury history also wasn't great. Just a bad move all the way around, handicapped and handcuffed that team for a few seasons.
Next I'd say the Jets - they gave up a couple picks to get Rodgers and then doubled down by signing his buddies and trading for Adams. They'll take some cap hits to get under that contract.
The Jones contract was bad at the time it was offered, at least they didn't give up any picks to sign him. That they chose him over Saquon or McKinney is kind of hilarious and sad. I can't help think the owners and GMs are in such a media fishbowl in NYC that it impacts their decisions.
Trading valuable picks for the privilege to sign a player to a lucrative contract is generally bad process. QBs contracts are bonkers also, but this is the game the NFL wants -- if you have a QB, you have to pay them, otherwise you overpay for a bad one until you find a good one.
Poor Aron is just taking hits from all sides lately :lol:. Never thought there would be one of Rodgers chicks to dislike more than Yoko Munn…

It is a convoluted read. Not sure if she is has all her timelines in the correct order. It seems like she might not even be saying it was because of ARon. The boy sure can pick the crazy hot ones!Quote:

Woodley seems like a nice girl but also a handful….all that emotion is just too much for a lot of men.
Rodgers broke his streak of non 300 yard games.
He and Love now both have 1 to their credit this season. Rodgers with more yards, one less TD and a few less INTs but worse QBR and of course the only thing that matters - Ws
Finally LOLQuote:

Rodgers-Love advanced stats comparison is pretty interesting on pro football reference.
Rodgers is basically a statue who throws short at this point. His pressure rate is almost the same as Love but has 20 more sacks on the year. Surprisingly he has a higher rate of "bad throws" whatever that means.
Rodgers was an amazing player at his peak, but he's far far away from that now. IF some team pays him to play next year, I wouldn't count on a bounceback year.
The only way that could work is if Rodgers landed with a team that has a Detroit Lions-like offensive line. That’s why Goff is playing well - he’s pretty immobile, but with time to throw he can still look good. I think of Goff and Rodgers as being similar in that regard.
Well you're not wrong. Goff is 11 years younger though, less prickly about ... well, everything, and at least occasionally targets the middle of the field. Goff looks like a dweeb and he went to Cal, so they have that in common.Quote:

Rodgers leading a drive w/ <2min to get into either long fg to take the lead or for the dagger. A meaningless game between 2 three win teams but imagine it could be one of his last games.
Ok - so they decided to score the TD with a min left instead of making Jax more time and timeouts. They can score a tying TD with a min and 2 timeouts. Kinda odd
Looks like the farewell tour for AaRon with the way other teams are shaking his hand.
I'm assuming he's not going to be a Jet next year. Is there another team that would be a logical landing place? Or is he gonna retire like this? Man, father time... It really sucks we never got the proper revenge tour. I think the injury stole his mobility.
I don't think there is. It would have to be a good team in need of a QB. I don't think that team exists unless Stafford retires. Vikings will likely bring Darnold back.Quote:

I could see him at veteran-minumum Flacco duty, if needed, but I can't imagine a sane and well-balanced GM spending the salary-cap space and young-QB development time to pay Rodgers anywhere near what he's earned in any season.
So you are saying he's going to the Bears.Quote:

He's got Tom Brady on one stat - most QB sacks.Quote:

I have a hard time seeing him being open to being a backup. The QB draft class looks not great, but there will be several QBs hitting the market (Darnold, Cousins, Justin Fields, maybe Derek Carr and Daniel Jones?) It could be a case of musical chairs and Rodgers is the one without a chair. He could just sit tight until summer when some team has an injury or gets desperate.
Most of the country will be getting Miami at Jets on Fox late. Probably a meaningless game. Fox billing it as maybe Rodgers' last game?
I definitely will watch at least some of it. Hard to make time for games these days at this stage of life, but I don't want to miss the last chance to see Aaron Charles Rodgers play. I think he's gonna be done.
They will speculate and speculate and speculate, which is what much of modern sports coverage consists of.
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Former New York Jets coach Rex Ryan, scheduled to interview Tuesday for the team's head coaching vacancy, is convinced he will land the job.
If it happens, he says he will put an end to the Aaron Rodgers "country club."
Ryan, appearing Monday morning on ESPN New York radio, ripped the future Hall of Famer for skipping the team's mandatory minicamp last June to take a vacation to Egypt. He also criticized the organization's "abysmal" leadership for condoning it.
"Clearly, when you have a guy that doesn't show up for mandatory minicamp -- and, by the way, he's your quarterback, coming off an injury -- I think that's an absolutely ridiculous message you send to the team," Ryan said during a spot on the "DiPietro & Rothenberg Show."
"If he comes back, things would be different. If he's back, it ain't gonna be the country club, show up whenever the hell you want to show up. That ain't gonna happen. I'll just leave it at that," Ryan said.
Rex Ryan is really putting his foot down.
