Aaron Rodgers he’s essentially built the team around him since he entered the New York Jets organization in 2023, and the team has added pieces in the offseason and into the 2024 season that should have benefited the quarterback and the team in general.

However, as Rodgers settled into his first healthy season with jetsit didn’t go according to plan. The 10-time Pro Bowler has 2,258 passing yards and 15 touchdown passes. New York is 3-7 this season and ranked 26th in scoring and yards gained.

Boomer Esiason, a former Jets and Cincinnati Bengals star quarterback, didn’t mince words Monday after the team’s 31-6 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.

“I hate to say, it’s like Aaron Rodgers completely sucked the air out of the building,” Esiason said on WFAN. “Boomer and Gio”. “And I think so many guys expect it in their minds. In their mind, in my mind, he’s a first-ballot Hall of Famer, one of the greatest quarterbacks we’ve ever had in his prime. seen.

“Very few people throw the ball like him. And I used to say Dan Marino, Joe Namath and Aaron Rodgers threw the ball significantly different than everybody else, like I’ve never seen anything like it. And I will go to myself. Grav still thinks that those three players were so special when they were throwing the ball and how they looked at throwing the ball was so natural and amazing.”

Esiason pointed out the situation with Mike Williams.

The veteran wide receiver and Rodgers didn’t seem to connect on the field. It led to the Jets trading for Davante Adams and sending Williams to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Sunday, Williams made the touchdown grab for the Steelers in their win over the Washington Chiefs.

“Since he’s been here the last two years, every player on this team, I feel like he’s put everything on hold for him.” Esiason added. “And the reason I say that is because Russell Wilson said something about Mike Williams yesterday. And it was reported during the game that when Mike Williams showed up in Pittsburgh, he showed up with such a big smile — and he was so happy. For example, he was so unencumbered by playing for the Jets, with the Jets, for Aaron Rodgers that he makes the game-winning touchdown catch over his left shoulder in an amazing sequence of events.

“Because the reason he’s on the field is because the guy who was supposed to be there on the field is hurt the previous game — and that’s the only reason he’s there. And Russell Wilson is trusted to throw him the football, and he was a game-winning touchdown pass and what Russell, Mike Williams was talking about basically gives you a real insight into what’s going on in the locker room in there for the Jets.
