I hated that trade from the beginning. Just a mess of an organization. Trying to always find a quick fix

Disagree. They were there and the Jets just decided over this offseason to strip down the defense (mainly on the defensive line) and Greg The Leg just declined out of nowhere after an all-pro year in 2023.
Hell, with a competent kicker, they'd have at least 2 more wins than they do now.

I mean I don't think it was crazy to look at what that team had going for it and think that the pieces were there for a top QB to take them to be a contender.
Thinking that Rodgers was going to be the right one (or that the Jets are ever allowed to have the right one) is another story.

Records are sometimes deceiving. They had a top 10 defense. Maybe even top 5 on defense. They also have a top 10 WR imo. Breece Hall is a weapon. Their line has been poor and the rest of parts are not adding up. They do have legit probowlers on offense and defense. I do think they have some guys that may have attitude issues. Ditto for my Giants. Losing so many 1 score games tells me they have the guys to win but its something else on that team that is the problem. That talented a team had no business losing to NE. None.

Honestly I disagree. Going 7-10 with one of the worst QBs in the NFL and upgrading to Rodgers makes a lot of sense to me. Even if Rodgers was merely average I can see the vision. I really do get it.
The problem is he tore his Achilles 10 seconds into the season and pretty much ended the “era” right then and there.

They also should have found a way to upgrade the Oline instead of getting Reddick. Rodgers might get mad but if I'm them I start stretching out the offensive sets and then giving Breece Hall a chance to break some 30-50 yard runs against some stretched out defenses. Could also try it via the pass. I view Hall and Wilson as legit game breaking threats. If I could turn the Evan Neal pick back in for Garret Wilson I would be thrilled beyond belief.
Two years ago they were talking about this 7-10 like it was a juggernaut. Really became a hater then. It was insufferable.

They went 7-10 with complete garbage QB play. The trade for Rodgers is and was the right move. The problem, as someone else said, was that he tore his Achilles 4 plays in last season.
I think we were watching different games. Maye did nothing except run the ball a couple of times.

I'm rooting against them as a Giants fan but I do respect their high end talent. If they miss the playoffs this season they could turn it around fast.

Even as a Giants fan, I don't root against the Jets. Only time I even disliked them was during the Rex Ryan Era when he went out of his way to try and shit on the Giants.
At this point, NYC football is in such a sorry state, I'd take either team having a little success. Rodgers is a very unlikable person, though. No real issues with the rest of the roster, though.
