See what the Jets players had to say about Aaron Rodgers during the preseason.

WR Garrett Wilson
"The guy is just so great and so us, as competitors and athletes, we want to match that greatness. We want to find a way to reach his level and he brings that out in us with just the way he is. He's the type of guy that makes you think at practice and it's good for us. It's not like that everywhere, it's not always like that with guys, so just knowing what he demands, he can make us all work really hard to reach that standard that has been set."

"We have a good standard here with the Jets, but with a guy like that he just demands greatness. I like to look at myself the same way and how I go about things, I like to try and think in the same way as him and I'm always learning. So, to have someone that is super valuable for me to just to take notes from and learn how to practice, learn how to go about my reps and my mental reps, all that, because he does it the right way and I think everyone is learning from that."

"It is truly enlightening for me every time we work together and have conversations. And despite how it may look. I am an emotional, passionate guy, so when we lose and it might look a certain way, but in reality, all those conversations are making me better because of Aaron. He can make me life really easy, so for me, it's my job to be on my details, and he's been on me about those details, so just making sure I'm checking in with him after drives, after plays, after I feel like I left something on the field because I want to fix it."

 

CB Sauce Gardner
"Just watching him and how he attacks the day. It is just something as little as him just picking different people to just have lunch, having breakfast with when he comes in the building, just little things like that. He really is a great dude and football is football. He's been around a while and played for another team. He knows how things should be run. He is a leader. When he is in the building, he has a standard and that is the standard we follow and it is not just that, his standard aligns with the standard that coach [Robert] Saleh has set, so we just all on the same page and we understand that the best teams are the player led teams, and Aaron is a true leader."

"I'm a competitor and I know he's a competitor. He is not one of those guys who wants you feeling a lot of sympathy for him. When he is on the field, he wants you to give it your all because he knows he going to give it his all. I'm sure y'all probably heard me, I was out there talking a lot and communicating, and he was out there giving me that look like I'm still going to go at you no matter what talk are you doing. So, it's great to just have him out there on the field."

RB Breece Hall
"Me and Aaron have a great connection and we're always talking to each other pre snap about what he wants, what I see, some of the route combinations and concepts when I'm the first read, so he'll ask me like what I want or what I want to run. Sometimes if he sees a look from the defense, he'll tell me to run a certain route, so just have that comfortability and that camaraderie throughout our offense, we're able to really communicate with each other pre-snap and get the best look that we want to put ourselves in the best position to be successful."

"Aaron expects us to be in a certain spot, he's been running this offense for probably longer than I've been alive so, it's just upholding that standard of perfection and that's being on the same page, that's the biggest thing. He's big on communication, we all got to be on the same page so we can reach that common goal."

LT Tyron Smith
"It's really fun being around him. You can feel the experience that he has when you're on the field with him. He definitely knows what he's doing. He makes everything a lot smoother and easier as you're going through everything. He is a big help and makes everything easy."

"It's been great being around him. He's one of the greats and anything he tells you, you listen, because there is always going to be something you haven't heard before. You just have to take it for what it is and learn from it."

LB C.J. Mosley
"On the field, in the building, he is an absolute leader, a lot of respect for him. Everybody has the same respect. Just observing him off the field, he's an observer as well. He doesn't say a lot. He doesn't talk a lot. Might sound a little surprising, but he definitely listens. He observes and he's a competitor. He wants to win. especially how the year went. Man is just an incredible story because you don't hear that a lot, especially with a guy that has been proven like he is - MVP, Super Bowls, going into whatever year it is and him still giving it his all, just says a lot about his character and who he is as a teammate and as a man."

C Joe Tippmann
He's been in the NFL since I was five years old. So just to even be out there playing with him, just him like even making recommendations to my game, how I can be better, how I can be a better player. I take everything he says the heart and I know that if I can incorporate that into my game, it's going to make me a better player."

DL Quinnen Williams
"He is here every single day putting in the work, grinding, showing everybody this is the way we're going to do things around here, this is the way I'm going to do things, this is the way I want you guys to do things, and different things like that. He's a very hard-working person on the field and off the field, and just does the things necessary to be a great person and the MVP, Hall-of-Fame caliber quarterback that he is, and to help us be the Hall-of-Fame, MVP-type players we can be."

TE Tyler Conklin
"There's just so many things that he does on the football field that I feel like a lot of people don't do. So, the biggest thing is just getting to know him and then trying to your best to see things the way he sees things. I think if you can do that and the more you can do that, the better off you're going to be. A huge thing is going to be watching film. Expecting what he expects, seeing what he sees for the most part. Then you get the opportunity to go make the play."

WR Mike Williams
"Aaron has really helped me a lot. If I need something, I ask a question. This is where I expect you to be when I do this. If I do this thing though, this is what I expect. So just communication, I feel like that's a huge thing. So just keep communicating so when I get out there, I don't miss a beat."

I guess this is what "disarray " sounds like. 
Exactly this .. if Dick Cimini was any kind of smart he'd see the value in posting the truth like this. Would garner a fair amount of clicks just for going against the current narrative.

Shocked nobody said anything about his trip to Egypt.  

 

If the Jet pull off an upset in Week 1 in San Fran every NFL GM will be sending their QB to Egypt next May.  It will immediately become the "cool thing" like adding a blacked out third uniform and hiring 19 year old head coaches.

That was practically all they talked about, but it was edited out by the Illuminati.

Jets have never had a QB like Rodgers 

Namath was immature and was hung over for a lot of games and in at least one occasion played still drunk from the night before according to Mark Kriegel. 
 

Vinny was good but not the Oppenheimer Rodgers is 

Pennington was smart , but not quite the arm of Rodgers 

Fitzmagic is super smart but not in how he played. He was a yolo guy that threw into coverage to see what would happen. 
 

then we got dumb young QB after dumb young QB

 

We’ve never had a QB like Rodgers. 
 

It can be hard for some of you to grasp, but that’s a good thing.

NFL teammates express great confidence in their starting quarterback prior to season beginning. 

Look at these sweet little petunia's, cant handle how this team adores their QB.
