Are Aaron Rodgers' Jets 'Cursed'?

And with Aaron Rodgers’ second season in New York coming to a close, it’s apparent bringing in a (second) former Green Bay Packers legend and Hall of Fame quarterback isn’t going to do the trick.

Rodgers spoke about the organization’s unbreakable bond with losing after Week 14’s 32-26 overtime loss to the Miami Dolphins.

“It might be some sort of curse we’ve got to snap as well,” Rodgers said, via the New York Post. “Whatever the case, this team, this organization is going to figure out how to get over the hump at some point.”

New York has been privy to some bad football in recent years. But with Rodgers leading the pack, reinforcements up front, and stars on both sides of the ball, 2024 was supposed to be different.

Rodgers resembled the unreachable. The confidence of having someone who’s been there in the game’s biggest moments; the advantage of putting fear in an opposing defense. The Jets haven’t had that luxury in 15 years.

It seems the intangible has won.

Subsequently, New York will possibly be in the market for a rookie passer or bridge quarterback this offseason. The cap ramifications of keeping Rodgers work against the future Hall of Famer sticking around, and he’s put little on tape to suggest that another year will be what finally fixes the Jets under center.

He’s got four games to prove to the next head coach and general manager that he’s worth keeping. Good luck finding fans confident in that development.
