Yeah I mean I don't care for Rodgers but would never wish this on any player. Even for a much younger player, this is a very serious injury. Kevin Durant had the same injury and missed one full season with the Nets and part of the next season I think, and he is much younger than AR. He did, of course, return in fine form.Being a fan of both teams, I've been on the Jets boards, too. Some want to hang themselves from the MetLife rafters; others (like me) take it as more evidence of a curse. It was an amazing game in the end, but it's hard to see the Jets as being anything more than competitive this year. And now there's another number one pick to think about....
It's hard to see Rodgers continuing his career after this. This was the year when all the pieces fell into place for the Jets, much as they did for Tom Brady and the Bucs. Eventually, having great draft classes becomes a cap nightmare. For the Jets, this must be a curse.
Then again, that defense looks very, very good - and they have other talented players on offense. I don't think Wilson is the guy, but maybe someone else could come in. It doesn't require an MVP year from the QB for the Jets to have a great year.
