Rodgers to the Jets - Support it, or Oppose it?

[Warfish]

Doesn't matter what your reason is, do you support Rodgers to the Jets, or do you oppose Rodgers to the Jets.

Feel free to expand in the comments, but the poll is a direct, simple "Yes or No" only.

[JetsMetsDevilsPA]

I support it.  I didn't at first but I changed my mind a while ago.  

[varjet]

I support it for now. 

The Jets may need a QB2.  Given the Jets started the last two seasons with Zach Wilson a QB1, maybe starting this season with him as QB2 is not a horrible thing-meaning that we will be terrible next year and draft another QB.

The Jets should not overpay GB for a 1-2 year expensive QB rental.  We can pay the money, but not too much in draft picks.  

[Long Island Leprechaun]

Under current circumstances, with expected salary numbers, why not? If a team is not doing everything it can to be in contention, why bother? Having the most cap space is not a victory except to the accounting department.

[section314]

No. Now back to getting ready for JN mock.??

[slimjasi]

I had my reservations about Rodgers early in the process and still do to an extent. But, all things being considered, I’m in. Reasons:
 

1) considering that the jets have no interest in Lamar, he’s easily the best option left. 
2) it will be fun. He’s Aaron Rodgers, a GOAT QB candidate and he’s going to play for my team. At the end of the day, watching the jets is supposed to be fun. 
3) I get the sense he’s going to have a chip on his shoulder and will be motivated to have a big year.

If you voted no, you're a masochist.

[ScarletKnight89]

What's to oppose really? I understand those who wanted Lamar Jackson instead but that was a long shot at best. 

Aaron Rodgers is one of the best QB's in NFL history. We currently have one of the worst QB's in NFL history in Zach Wilson.

We have made a massive improvement at the most important position. 

[Bocajetfan]

Support the move, it is dependent on my belief in Joe Douglas giving up reasonable compensation.

[Grandy]

I think Rodgers might be the most talented I've seen at the position with Mahomes and Manning right by him.

I might be a fan. 

[Arsis]

I don't have an opinion. Either way. I don't know enough to make a judgment. The trade might not even happen at this point.

[Barry McCockinner]

I support it under the assumption the compensation is reasonable. A 2023 first is not reasonable.

So you'd rather have Jacoby Brissett and the 13th pick?

Jacoby Brissett just signed with the Commanders

I know.   It was a hypothetical. 

[neckdemon]

i'm in and i really dgaf if it costs this years first

[peebag]

Zach bombing really did a number on this team.  The Jets won't recover for another 5 to 6 years, if ever.

eventually the Jets run out of hypothetical replacements

Who's left? Matt Ryan?

[JTJet]

If you oppose having AR, you should be forced to wear a scarlet letter the whole season on this board. 

Your user name should be turned red for the entirety of the season so we can all point at you and throw rotten fruit at you. 

[chirorob]

I was kind of against it, as they will incur a large cap hit 2 years from now.

But, with no QB, this year is just a waste year.  I don't like Jimmy G, Carr is decent and gets the team to 11-6 maybe, but they aren't a real contender.   Rodgers makes this team a real contender.

[Untouchable]

Support it tremendously 

Even us fans who have been around for 50 or more years have never gotten more than the occasional inkling of “good”, much less great QB play.

Even Namath’s last 4-5 years with the Jets were largely sh*t and fraught with injuries.

And since then, we’ve gotten only the occasional tease for a year once a decade with O’Brien, Testaverde, Pennington, Fitzpatrick and the 10 games we got out of Favre.

And everything in between has been a f*cking disaster.

Now, at least for a year, we get to watch a guy that is still up there with Mahomes as the best QB in the league if he’s on and healthy.

Glorious sh*t in store for this year and I’ll even splurge on the silly overpriced YouTube Sunday Ticket to make sure I don’t miss a second of it.

If he had been league average last year, with an ability to further improve, this team is massively different.  An average QB wins at least 3 more games last year, makes the playoffs, and this team is primed for a serious run.

Or, Zach could be the worst QB in the league.

run it back w/Zach

[Joe W. Namath]

We all should support it.  I dont think it is going to work out but I am going to root like heck that it does.

If Joe D can get Rodgers and still figure out a way to get a franchise qb, then everybody wins.

[slats]

Rodgers was always the best fit for what Joe Douglas is building. His primary bust? Zach. Even the Becton critics have been quiet lately as he looks like he’s on a trajectory to start this season. What JD wants to do is win with this young core in place, giving him a two-three year window before prices go up. Rodgers gives them the best chance to win it all out of all the available QBs, or at least go deep in the playoffs. That happens this year, JD will have bought himself some long term stability for himself and the franchise. I like that plan. Rodgers was always my first choice.

Wouldn't hurt Zach to sit behind Rogers....

Can't wait to see how bitonti's shtick evolves once the trade is finalized and the draft comp is reasonable.

[JustInFudge]

I'm the happiest of all the happy fans!  SUPER BOWL!!!!!!!!!

[nj meadowlands]

I'm kidding I don't care.

You did always say 2023 was when we would start winning multiple super bowls!

[freestater]

My most desirable outcome since the offseason began. Thought it was a pipe dream. I'm stoked.

If it's 3 firsts I oppose it. If he's injured I oppose it. If he's healthy and can play in between he did last year and the year before I support it.

 

The trade has to happen first before I can judge it.
