I think I figured out why I don’t have a warm fuzzy feeling about Rodgers

[Facts]

So many of you have embraced Rodgers and I have felt “meh” since the trade and I think i’ve figured out why.

It’s because he will never be “ours”. Everyone will always see him as a Packer, just like everyone saw Montana as a 49er, despite his time in KC. Just like everyone saw Favre as a Packer, despite his time in Minnesota. Just like Warren Moon will always be considered an Oiler, not a Viking.

There is no long-term future here. We are *hoping* for 2 or 3 years where we rent-a-hall-of-famer, who will never really be considered ours.

That not sad to anyone else?

If he wins a SB here he will have as many rings as he had in GB.

He wins 2 here he eclipses that.

Think he wouldn’t be as much “ours” as GB’a in either of those instances?  Like….who cares.  

This team clearly can’t draft a QB of its own so this is the next best thing:  An adopted son who succeeds.

are you the type of guy who will only marry a virgin?

[KRL]

OK, ask TB what they think/feel about Brady?  

[SomebodytoAnybody47]

I don’t give a ffffffffffff

[PS17]

This is dumb af. Brady is a lifelong Buccaneer legend now. Manning has literally dissociated with the Colts and become a fixture in the Denver community and Broncos organization. Rodgers hates the Packers and if he wins here will be a New York icon. Not to mention he’s in love with our organization, which is bizarre, but I’m not complaining. 

[JiFtheOracle]

We've tried the, "our own" thing and its netted us Mark Sanchez, Geno Smith, Christian Hackebberg, Sam Darnold and Zach Wilson.

If "theirs" helps "us" win a chip, I could not give a single **** what team Rodgers will be remember for, instead, I'll laugh at the Packers fans who almost unanimously didnt want him. 

[Green Ghost]

Stick to facts, OP and avoid your feels. 😉

[BeaconJet]

Dont care. Its really hard to draft and develop a QB thats "our guy".  So I'll take the rental of a HOFer, thanks.

I don't think many think of Peyton as a Bronco.   @PS17 But maybe, I don't see it however.

I do.  Mostly because the Colts org is trash.  They drafted John Elway, Peyton and Luck # 1 overall and got just 1 ring out of the deal, and only got that 1 because Rex Grossman was on the other side of the ball.  Completely overrated org.

PS17 is spot on here:

I see Rodgers as a jet.  Open your eyes!

[St Louie Jet Fan]

I would take 1 year of Rodgers over 3 of Zach. If we get 2-3 years of Rodgers? Hot damn! He is a Jet now. Thats all that matters.

[Dunnie]

I understand your feelings ...

But AR will be a legend if he brings the Jets into relevance single handedly.

I'm hoping that the Zach mentoring works out, and if it does his legend will become indelible as Zach leads the team for the next decade or so to more playoff seasons and maybe another SB.

One can dream.

Don’t care in the least. Deserves a statue at Lambeau.  If he wins a SB for us.. he’ll have one at MetLife too.

And Stafford will always be a Lion.  I'm sure the Rams fans are crushed about that, or the Broncos fans about Peyton.

I don’t agree about Stafford or Peyton.

They both went to new teams in their mid 30’s and we’re presume to have 5-7 years left when they signed with new teams.

Not so much with Rodgers.

Brady is probably the better example.

I do a lot of business in Tampa. I’m literally 30 minutes outside of Tampa right now. No one gives a crap about Brady anymore. 

They removed his banner from the stadium the second he retired.

What a surprise another thread about himself and his feelings... How self indulgent can you be

The disease.  You cant be happy with anything the jets do.  98% of this fanbase has it.  Unfortunately there is no cure.  We will be hoisting the lombardi and you will be opening bash zach threads.

At least your takes are consistent in their awfulness.

What if he plays here 3 years wins 2 SB’s? 1 more then he won in GB, then who’s is he?  Jets fans shouldn’t need approval from the outside.  Enjoy the ride (if there is one).

[Saul Goodman]

I felt that way when the trade rumors started.  But it went away pretty quickly once I saw how genuinely happy Rodgers is to be here.

Hated the Favre signing from day 1 until the day his contract ended, but this is a different situation simply for the fact threat Rodgers wants to be a Jet and has fully, 100% embraced it. 

[GangGreened]

Terrible thread. No one cares.

[Integrity28]

Thank you for telling us about your emotions. That said… Who are you?

[bonkertons]

I assure you, if he wins here, he'll feel like one of "ours".  Same as if Favre had done it.  We look at Favre as a blip on the radar because A) he never really wanted to be here, and B ) his run was a flop.  If AR wins a SB, he's a NY legend for life.  Fans will lose their minds for him every time they bring him back, and he'll basically have free reign to do whatever the hell he wants in NY.  

 

Also what a sh*tty take that Tampa fans don't care about Brady.  You mean because they aren't talking about a guy who is retired, that he isn't a TB sports icon?  Mets fans aren't talking about Mike Piazza right now either, but guess what....when he shows up, he's a god who can do no wrong.  The same will be true for Rodgers if he brings one home here.

I suggest you start taking Viagra before watching Jets games. That should get your blood moving to the proper places.

I think you are brave to admit this. Thank you for sharing.

I just spent a month in St Pete and I think you are way off.  The number of times people mentioned Tom Brady to me when they found out I was a Jets fan was mind blowing.  Not one person mentioned Todd Bowles.
