New York Jets: Bold Predictions For Aaron Rodgers In 2024
Ed Mulholland-USA TODAY Sports

Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets are looking to get revenge on the NFL after their 2023 season was ripped away from them on their first offensive drive. As everyone knows and remembers, Rodgers went down with a torn Achilles just four snaps into his tenure with the Jets.

Throughout the NFL offseason this year, the Jets have started getting the same Super Bowl hype that surrounded them last year. Rodgers is back to full health after attacking his rehab head on and he’s got a chip on his shoulder as well. New York has put together a loaded roster around their superstar quarterback.

Joe Douglas was very aggressive this offseason. It’s clear that the Jets have no other goal but to contend for a Super Bowl. They truly believe that they have a roster that can contend with Rodgers leading the way.

All of that being said, no one truly knows what to expect from Rodgers. A 40-year-old quarterback coming off of an Achilles tear is unpredictable. Let’s take a look at some bold predictions for Aaron Rodgers this season.

Bold Predictions For New York Jets QB Aaron Rodgers In 2024

Aaron Rodgers Plays All 17 Games

First and foremost, fans are hoping for a good bill of health all season long for Rodgers. That will end up being the case, as Rodgers will end up playing in all 17 games for the New York Jets.

Being able to keep him on the field is the biggest priority for the Jets. They were able to add multiple players to help keep him upright. Tyron Smith was signed in free agency and they used their first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft on Olu Fashanu.

If Rodgers can stay healthy, he will have a chance to get back to terrorizing opposing defenses. He’ll be able to stay on the field all year long.

He Leads The New York Jets To The Playoffs

Next up, the Jets are without question a playoff team this season with Rodgers under center. Their record didn’t look great last season, but they lost quite a few of their games by small margins. With Rodgers on the field, they wouldn’t have lost those close games.

We’re predicting that Rodgers will lead the New York Jets to the playoffs and that they will have an 11-6 regular season record. That would be the kind of leap that New York needs to make this season. If they can get into the playoffs, they’ll be a very legitimate threat in the AFC playoff picture.

The MVP Conversation Very Much Includes Rodgers

How good will Rodgers be this season in his return from his Achilles injury? The New York Jets’ franchise face will place himself very much in the mix to win the NFL MVP award.

We aren’t predicted that Rodgers will win the award, but we are predicting that he will be a top-five candidate.

When the regular season story is written and finished, Rodgers will have thrown for over 4,200 yards, 30 touchdowns, and will throw just seven interceptions. He’ll be back to the vintage Aaron Rodgers that has destroyed defenses throughout his entire career.

The New York Jets Get To The AFC Championship Game

While the expectations are not going to be easy to meet for the Jets, the leadership and play of Aaron Rodgers will help them make a run to the AFC Championship Game.

What happens in that game, we aren’t going to predict, but the Jets will get there. Rodgers alone will make that much of an impact on how the season goes for New York.

It will be a fun and entertaining revenge tour for Rodgers and the Jets. Fans should start getting excited for what is going to be the best season the franchise has had in a long time.
