OT: Football thread (2024 season)

So interesting thought do his failures as a Jet hurt Rodgers's legacy or will it be seen in context of him being old?

Rodgers is old, coming off a major injury, and seems to be increasingly spending time and energy on non-football endeavors.

I remember the training camp of the year before Rick Nash retired, him saying how much harder he had to work each year as he aged to maintain his level of play. It was a nothing interview, and I don't know why it still sticks in my mind, but it's something I think about when older players start to drop off.

I think if his career were more on the margins between good and great or “hall of very good” etc it might.

But Rodgers resume and accolades are enormous so combined with an Achilles injury and age I don’t think it’s going to damage it too much.

This jets failure is the crown jewel in the criticisms thrown at him these past few years though in that he’s one of the most insufferable and annoying people on the planet lmao.

Jets (and most fans) concentrated on everything but THE main reason we can't win: the lack of an o-line.

Same issue with most losing teams.

He seems like one of those guys who has an IQ of 110 (above average) but thinks he has an IQ of 160 (genius). The Kyrie Irving of the NFL.

I’m ngl, I def think the last ~5 years have soiled the cult of Rodgers that used to exist.

His last 3 years in GB his average per game was 247 yards, 2.7 TD and 0.4 INT - he also won 2 NFL MVPs.

I never liked him because of the Ryan Braun incident but he was always a great player - until he came to play for the goat crushers. I think even Brady would have sucked on the jets.

Dude just needed to keep the crazy under wraps and keep cashing those sponsorship checks. He couldn't do that. Doesn't change the fact that he had a HoF career. One of the most effortlessly accurate deep passers I've ever seen.

Trash GM . Won’t be missed.
