Remember this night... Aaron Rodgers 4 plays as the Jets QB are going to go down as an all-time bizarre NFL moment. So much hype around this, a 4 time MVP, joining a team that looks every bit a contender outside of their QB position... and he doesn't even make it through the first drive. Not only is he hurt but his career is likely over.

I can't think of a parallel.

In a generation people will look at Rodgers' career stats and see this "one game with one pass with the Jets" and assume it was a sad, washed up comeback attempt, and have no idea of the hype that surrounded the moment.

As bad as we are... I am glad I am not a Jets fan. Any Jets fan born after 1970 has known nothing but pain and suffering. I know our history is marginally worse over the last 50 years but ours comes with a lot less hype.

Wow. All that hype on the Jets winning the AFC and being super bowl contenders for Rodgers to do his achilles after a single pass. Incredible bad luck.

The Jets have always kinda sucked while I've been a football fan so I feel bad for the fans. Can you imagine? You got Rodgers and you put this good team together and now you have 16.99 games of Zach Wilson.

Wrong, but ok. You think the way you want and we'll just deal with natural selection.
How is it wrong? I got the vax like most did at the start because we were all told it would prevent infection etc.(turns out that was either a lie or they didn't know), and I live with a high risk person so it made sense. For someone like Rodgers it made no sense at all and now knowing what we know it turns out he was right. Now about all the holistic stuff, that doesn't make any sense, and he had no reason to lie about things as long as he did.

Jets QB position has been cursed for decades. I always feel bad for any kid that gets drafted there.

Think about what you feel about Mark Sanchez...then realize he has been their most successful drafted quarterback in forty years.

Their own version of the Pottsville curse. Probably came about when Broadway Joe came through on his guarantee.

Possibly more of a Cardinals curse. I remember we both tried (during the NFL-AFL war years) to sign Namath and the Jets won out.
