Rex Ryan on Aaron Rodgers: “He’s a Below Average” QB

[JetNation]

Former New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan spent his career as a coach trying to find ways to get big shots on the quarterback.  Today, he used his platform on ESPN to take one at current Jets QB Aaron Rodgers.

In discussing his former team’s current struggles, Ryan put Aaron Rodgers in the crosshairs.

“Aaron Rodgers has played one good game all season and nobody says it.  Why”?.  Ryan, presumably referring to Rodgers’ win against the Patriots in which he threw for 281 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

Clearly unimpressed with what he’s seen from Rodgers in 2024, Ryan continued “I’m telling the truth.  I’ve been around this game my whole life.  He looks like a below average quarterback”.

Even despite the criticism, Ryan picked the Jets to win tonight’s game in Pittsburgh due to a “rusty” Russell Wilson getting the start for the Steelers.

Even Rex showing signs of Rodgers derangment syndrome?

[jgb]

By most metrics Rodgers is basically an exactly average QB this season

Ouch, my heart wants to punch him
In the face but my brain and eyes fear it’s true.

Didnt he get a Mark Sanchez tattoo?

[Green Ghost]

Tell us something we don’t know, Rex.

[PS17]

This isn’t a hot take 

[Green Ghost]

The Rodgers Stan’s here really need him to have a good game tonight. They deserve a week to “told you so” the board.

[Prodigal Syndicate]

Uh oh. The Rodgers clown brigade is about to be very upset someone stated the obvious.

Do they though?

You need the whole team in football rogers average would be the best quarterback we had in a while.

I would not say he's below average.That's BS that TV commentator requirements.

No offense, but this post sums up just how disappointing he’s been.

If only he could be a slightly below average GM and OC.

Well when you include the injury it's been a little disappointing.

That's nothing compared to the offensive coaching the last several years is beyond comprehension how bad it's been.

[Rangers9]

First it's idiotic and typical of RR. He's just looking for attention and trying to make controversy. He went after Geno a few years after departing the Jets for no reason at all. 

[Jetpain]

From a below average, past his prime coach to a below average, past his prime QB .   The difference is one is getting free ticket to Canton, the other needs to pay for his admission to look around

A certain poster comes to mind. Rhymes with rickety dam.

Rodgers was average his last year in green bay, two years older, coming of a really bad injury

Yeah big surprise to some that he is average AT BEST.

And we gave him the sun the moon and the stars.

Reminds me of my dating history.....I gave the girls the sun the moon and stars and they were all average at best.  (Tears streaming down his aged face.)

Haha some of his GM work is not bad he needs those big wide receivers the way he throws the long  ball .

As far as the OC he just has no time for that he probably did the game planning for the New England game though then complimented the former OC

[kdels62]

Wrong thread 

 

And Rex is right.

[funaz]

I feel like Rodgers has been everything he ever has been. What’s been really frustrating is his requirements for everyone else to be so precise. He can’t make throws on the fly he expects/needs everyone to be where he wants them to be and our team hasn’t been able to do it.

Our online is fine, our wrs are fine and our QB is fine but things just aren’t clicking

I thought he played well last week. It wasn’t vintage Rodgers, but it was very gritty performance  

[Arsis]

He's been pretty average

Opposite seems true for a lot of losers here too.  Many don't appear very interested in Rodgers continuing his good play from last week.

I see you rex

F*ck Rex and his dentures. He's an embarrassment like numbnuts Benigno and his Fu Manchu, bro.

 

[Integrity28]

Rex is a a clown, but he’s not wrong. The Pats are miserable and not the example you want to use to prove your QB is good.

[FidelioJet]

Unfortunately he is correct.

I would kind of prefer Rodgers to have a good game tonight so they get the win and the Jets season doesn't essentially die in October. Again.

Yeah, those teeth combined with a Klieg light would be a directed energy weapon. Definite Geneva Convention violation.

Rex said the quiet part out loud

This seems to have gotten the attention that Rex wanted.
