The New York Jets lost again on Sunday, this time to the Arizona Cardinals by a score of 31-6. The Jets defense struggled mightily to stop Kyler Murray and Co. Murray had three touchdowns of his own, one through the air and two on the ground.

The Jets acquired star wide receiver Davante Adams a few weeks before the NFL trade deadline in hopes that reuniting him with his former Packers quarterback would help the passing game. While Rodgers and Adams have a good relationship on and off the field, the offense itself has not improved.

Rodgers threw for 151 yards Sunday and only 31 of those went to Adams despite his six catches. When asked after the game how Rodgers was handling another tough season, Davante didn’t mince words.

That analogy doesn’t make much sense, but we can (sort of) understand where he’s coming from. Rodgers is used to winningespecially in the regular season. For the past two years, he’s been forced to watch the Jets struggle. Last season, at least he had an excuse – everything would change when Rodgers returned, or at least that was the narrative we were fed.

Conversely, the Jets are just as bad despite a healthy Rodgers and added weapons on offense. The Jets are the Jets and will always be the Jets. I have no other analysis.

Maybe it’s as simple as father time catching up with an aging quarterback. Rodgers is over 40, of course, and like his predecessor in Green Bay (Brett Favre), he was always destined to hit a wall, especially less than a year after a season-ending injury. No amount of former teammates can save Rodgers and the Jets from the inevitable.

If Rodgers knows what’s best for him, he’ll move on this offseason.
