Aaron Rodgers is regarded as one of the greatest players in NFL history. When he was picked by the Jets, everyone was taken aback and had two thoughts. Either the legend will lift the squad to new heights or he will face a career setback. The Jets supporters were generating memes about it and despising their own team, which is just unreal. But what does the quarterback think about these memes?

Recently, Aaron Rodgers spoke with Kyle Brandt. There, the quarterback was asked how he is planning to make the Jets qualify, given that their own fans are not very supportive. A-Rod was aware of all of this, but he just stated that he could not accomplish anything on his own and it was his team’s fault.

The quarterback believes that football is a game in which the entire team, fan base, emotions, and so on are all extremely essential. The man explained, “I don’t know, I think it takes a collective effort. It takes all of us, including the fanbase, to just have a little belief. ” A-Rod even stated that right now the team is focused solely on one goal: winning consecutive games. They all now believe that if they remain focused, their ambition of qualifying for the playoffs will become a reality.

The QB continued, “So we have to keep our eyes on the goal and stay focused. That’s how you manifest the desires of your heart. I also understand what this organization has been through and we have to win consistently to kind of a start that turns that tide.”

If we look at the Jets’ Week 5 game, we can see how brilliant Rodgers was. He tried solid passes, but they were not completed due to the wide receivers. They failed to catch the throw, and it was caught by another Vikings player instead. If we look at the numbers then too, we can see that the quarterback tried 54 throws but completed just 29.

Fans are currently stunned by Rodgers’ blame on his team. But, his resentment stems from the fact that the supporters are blaming only him and another individual poorly. Do you know who is the other one?

Robert Saleh rammed by the hate train besides Rodgers

The Jets are hanging this season, as they have both great victories and bad defeats. Team players have been receiving a lot of criticism for their losses, but the scrutiny particularly falls on Robert Saleh. The HC is viewed as one of the primary reasons why the team is underperforming. His tactics may not be the greatest for the squad and do not fit them.

Aaron Rodgers’ comment also demonstrates how upset the man is with carrying the team on his own. He and Saleh can only manage the strategies, but the players need to execute them too. A few individuals can’t fix everything since they need help too. During this week’s game, everyone blamed Saleh for the team’s poor performance. At one point, fans even demanded that the head coach should be sacked.

One of the fan comments stated, “In all seriousness, now… You CANNOT start flat every, single game. The Jets come out flat every, single game and that is 100% on Robert Saleh. Even if the Jets somehow win this game against the Vikings, Robert Saleh MUST be fired. Midseason firing is necessary. This torture of Jets fans has gone on long enough. “
