In a recent interview on the ‘Rich Eisen Show’, one of Rodgers’ long-term rivals reacted to his ability. During his career, he has had multiple encounters with Rodgers and holds him in high regard as an exceptional quarterback. However, he emphasized that several factors need to align for the Jets to become a contender. The Buccaneers‘ defensive tackle, Ndamukong Suh raised doubts about Aaron Rodgers. One of these is the strength of their division, which consists of formidable opponents such as the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins. Suh also raised doubt about Rodgers’ ability to transform the Jets into a Super Bowl contender.

Commenting on him, “To be able to reach a particular Super Bowl in my opinion and based on our division that division is very very difficult, I don’t even think if Aaron Rodger goes there well”.

Additionally, Suh pointed out that there are uncertainties surrounding the Jets’ offense beyond their solid defense.

The potential impact of Aaron Rodgers joining the Jets

Although Suh’s critique holds weight, it’s also important to acknowledge Rodgers’ impressive track record of accomplishments. If he were to transfer to the Jets, his exceptional talent would make him their most skilled quarterback in years and could potentially inspire his teammates to elevate their performance.

A quarterback’s performance is a critical part of a team’s triumph in the NFL. Assuming Rodgers remains fit and maintains his typical level of play, the Jets would undoubtedly improve from their previous season. However, it’s uncertain if this alone would elevate them to contender status. Nonetheless, Rodgers’ presence would undeniably have a substantial effect on the team’s overall success.
