One of the biggest storylines going into this season is the New York Jets and Aaron Rodgers. Questions about Aaron Rodgers and the season that he had last year, because the numbers weren’t typical Aaron Rodgers numbers. People wondering, is he the same quarterback? Then there’s also the flipside…the excitement that if he IS the same quarterback that we’ve seen for so much of his career and with the talent around him, what are the Jets going to look like this year?! I’m excited to see the answers to those questions but let’s go back to last year and I’m going to pick a game that was memorable to me. The Packers were trying to make a run to the playoffs, playing against Miami. Everybody thought Miami was rolling into the playoffs and that they were going to be the ones that knock Green Bay out of contention for a playoff spot. I remember watching that game and thinking OK, Aaron Rodgers looks like Aaron Rodgers…so, is it the guys around him? Is it the lack of continuity, because a lot of the young guys? Has Aaron slipped a little bit in certain areas? Or was it just lack of comfort that caused him to play the game a little bit differently. So, let’s bounce into the tape and I think this will excite everybody about the upcoming season and it will definitely excite New York Jets fans…to say, okay, even though the numbers said something last year, Aaron Rodgers can still be that guy if we put the right situation around him.

I wanted to show some things like down in the red zone. Aaron Rodgers is so good in the red zone. He’s been good at creating opportunities in the past for his team. They were doing a lot of stuff last year, at least in this game, where they were trying to design specific plays to get a certain guy open…not giving Aaron a lot of options. Those guys weren’t open, so now it falls to Aaron to make plays and that was part of the issue that we saw last year. Some guys dropping passes…lack of trust I believe was part of what we saw last year. But, we see glimpses throughout this game and we’ll see it in part two, of Aaron Rodgers being Aaron Rodgers. So, he didn’t just fall off the face of the Earth or just forget how to play the game…that guy still there and I think if they put a situation around him he’s got a chance to get back to that MVP form. #aaronrodgers #nyjets #nfl
