Back in January, when the New York Jets' top brass had begun to assess how the 2022 NFL season spiraled out of hand for the franchise, it was hard for the franchise's decision makers to trace a finger down the schedule and not get hung up on the Oct. 23 win over the Denver Broncos.
GREEN BAY, WISCONSIN - OCTOBER 16: Aaron Rodgers #12 of the Green Bay Packers and Zach Wilson #2 of the New York Jets meet at midfield after the Jets beat the Packers 27-10 at Lambeau Field on October 16, 2022 in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
One way or another, the Jets were going to find a veteran quarterback who could seize on what many inside the organization believe is a young roster ready to be a prime-time team in 2023. A team stepping out of the crater and toward that window.That’s what this Rodgers trade represents to the Jets.
That doesn’t mean it’s unfair to question what Rodgers has left in the tank at 39 years old. Last season was one of his worst, and it’s undeniable that part of it was due to inexperienced wide receivers and a general regression in some of his decision making inside a motion offense that he seemed to loathe more by the year.
While the Jets may never admit it publicly, hindsight has taught them something about Wilson. He wasn’t ready to step in and start as a rookie. There was an adjustment that needed to take place and a larger element of confidence in play than many realized. And if the staff had it to do over again, Wilson wouldn’t have played a snap as a rookie.
