The Jets need to get away from Aaron Rodgers as fast as they can
Look, I get it. I've been a Detroit Lions fan my entire life and I've covered the team for 10 years. I understand what it feels like to want your team to win a championship so badly. I know that this is how Jets fans feel and I know you want to win. But is […]
Look, I get it. I've been a Detroit Lions fan my entire life and I've covered the team for 10 years. I understand what it feels like to want your team to win a championship so badly. I know that this is how Jets fans feel and I know you want to win. But is this how you want to do it?
Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers' time in New York has been just about as bad as it could possibly be. It's not just the torn Achilles on the opening drive of his tenure there. It's not the reported trouble within the building either. It's everything he's said and done while having "Jet's quarterback" put by his name on the chyrons.
In January he went on live television and accused late night host Jimmy Kimmel of being a pedophile and being involved with the actions of Jeffery Epstein.
In March he's been apparently tapped to be the running mate of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in his presidential run in November. Rodgers has mentioned Kennedy and his claims multiple times on TV when he's spouted of Covid-19 conspiracies and antivaccine rhetoric. Kennedy has also made multiple antisemitic comments in relation to the holocaust.
On Wednesday another story dropped that claims that Rodgers has, on multiple occasions, told people that Sandy Hook school shooting in 2012 was a government orchestrated event and that the children who were killed, along with their parents, were "crisis actors." Rodgers has since disputed this report.
This also comes after former Packers quarterback Deshone Kizer claimed that Rodgers discussed 9/11 conspiracies theories with him in the locker room in Green Bay.
Enough is enough. This is all coming from the guy that got in front of the Jets' locker room and said this:
“Anything in this building that we’re doing that has nothing to do with winning needs to be assessed,” Rodgers said. “Everything that we do has to have a purpose … the (expletive) that has nothing to do with winning has to get out of the building.”
Rodgers is right, but what he doesn't realize is that he's the (expletive) that has nothing to do with winning that has to get out of the building. He's a walking and talking distraction and he is a cancer to the Jet's franchise, name and fans.
This is like the butt fumble turned up to 11. The world isn't laughing at the Jets for being a bad team, they're cackling at the Jets for selling their souls and bending to the wills of man that has clearly left reality behind.
Everyone that is affiliated with the Jets is now unwillingly attached to this. The Jets best hope is to get out of this as fast as they can and try their luck at quarterback in some other fashion. This is a very talented team that's being held down by their once very talented quarterback that's mind is on everything but the game.
