that was Aaron Rogers trying to temper expectations last year even though everyone knew the reason why you were brought over here you are the reason you are the missing piece to what we feel like is a in your words and sbob T there we go and so when I look at Aaron Rogers right now and I know everybody’s like oh he’s old but and he’s coming off injury I said all those things however we don’t need and they don’t need Aaron Rodgers to be MVP version of Aaron roggers what they need him to be is more than what they got and have had in the past they will get that out of Aaron Rogers my point they will get that out of Aaron Rogers and the fact that he is being truthful about what the situation is saying it’s on me this is solely on me he’s not passing the buck he’s not dismissing it he’s clearly stating the obvious of why this coaching staff still has a job and why this team is configured the way they are because it’s on me the expect I’m 10 toes down I own it I shoulder it we’re going to get this done I I agree and and that was a great clip from last year with Douglas and Salah but I when I started thinking ah the Jets might be pretty good was when Rogers with his opening press conferences before that with Salah and those guys when he was talking about that trophy looks lonely like he was he was embracing kind of the pressure even last year and so look I know he’s 40 years old old we all have to admit it it’s not automatic and most players it won’t be the case but we do have to admit that today guys can play be better longer all right so so it wouldn’t be shocking if at 40 years old he goes out there and actually plays well I’m not saying MVP level but if he’s 90% of that if he’s somewhere in between the Rogers we saw at the end of Green Bay and the MVP Rogers then this is a very good team you know so I I and and what he said about the press it is all those guys are probably going to be gone if okay but so that’s so there’s so first I my struggle is I’m yet to have anyone explain to me why he should be better than his last year in Green Bay I agree that’s the piece can I give a couple yeah sure please one he’s taking part in the offseason workouts which he didn’t do in Green Bay at the end he didn’t seem to have any really love for the young receivers so I would say that and I also think like Greg said he is is he seems more Allin and he’s embracing the pressure his thumb was Jack yeah thumb was broken yeah okay well the thumb I don’t know if the thumb was broken uh the thumb was I mean I know that that year I think I mean Dak broke his thumb and Miss six weeks Aaron didn’t miss any games so I don’t he had he had a thumb issue sure that’s fine I just I if the last time we saw him playing was MVP and then he popped his Achilles and it was just about the Achilles in the age I’d be a little more optimistic myc but we saw him play a year post MVP and he was mediocre but the other issue I have with the comment is so multi-layered first of all it is a wild thing to say it’s a can you I’m just asking how you two would feel I’m not Aaron Rogers of this show but let’s just say if I was doing an interview I’m like listen I just come to work every day and I know if I don’t perform we’re all fine like if I don’t if I don’t produce RW Greg Wild everybody’s looking for a job yeah it’s me I don’t I don’t think I hear you look I wouldn’t say that about Deon on the podcast he’s right rers is absolutely right we all know it so go ahead Greg to prior to him making this statement what we were saying about this coaching staff this entire coaching staff the reason why they did not get fired is because this experiment had had a chance to be laid out right so that then brings me why I said it’s multi-layer if what he’s saying is true then they are making a grievous error keeping those people in place if the only if it’s like well these guys only have a job because Aaron prefers it when we we think that they they’re going to be fired you know they’re on this close being fired then they should have been fired firing Robert Salah or Nat Hackett or both of them doesn’t cost you Aaron Rogers theoretically it shouldn’t he’s he wants to play he turned down the the opportunity to be the vice president of the United States in order to play for this football team the the it is you’re saying so you guys so what we’re saying is I just want to make sure I have it right is that we are going to believe in the Jets under the premise of that Rogers two years ago could have been better but wasn’t bought in enough this year is going to be better under the pre conditions of things that are not supposed to be in control of the quarterback he gets to say over like the full coaching staff GM and offensive coordinator as long as everything is laid out the way he demands then we think we have our best chance of getting decent to good Aaron Rogers if that’s the case I don’t think the juice is worth the squeeze personally I don’t and I’m going to stand here as the one that’s been in a huddle with that guy and tell you the juice is worth the squeeze I I I agree if they’re getting the guy you were in the huddle with I no but what I’m saying is they don’t even need that guy they don’t need the version of that guy they will have his brains the the the not sure if his brains is as good as it was 10 years it is I mean we we’re we’re not talking outside of football we’re focusing on football like he’s going to pre-nap get them in the best situations like you you don’t you don’t unlearn those things you improve you build on that you grow you advance like I’m excited about the Buy in and and when you talk about last year’s team that is the issue if you don’t have a group of 11 guys bought in let alone the quarterback he didn’t he didn’t believe in none of those guys he threw the ball to Christian Washington on the first play of their offensive snap against the Minnesota Vikings when he was there and never threw it to him again the rest of the game he didn’t believe in any of them so how are you going to get the best version of those guys if the guy that is supposed to be believing in you don’t believe in you and I guess my point is I if a guy if if if the biggest defense is well it’s a and it’s man jeie said it ended up being right or at least some people think like oh drafting Jordan love was smart because it put a chip on Aaron Rogers shoulder his play it tailed off because he wasn’t bought in but now he has something to prove it wasn’t that he wasn’t great in Green Bay it couldn’t been great but he didn’t trust the receivers didn’t do the work he needed to do in order to be get great but now he will be again my point is if if that if your whole season’s relying on someone that fickle and where that that it’s going to be as long as everything is laid out for me all produce I don’t think that is a smart season long bet I don’t think you are able to operate an organization to where all of those things are going to stay in line in order to appease Aaron roggers which it sounds like what we’re saying is as long as he’s happy and feels in control he’ll play great quarterback yeah I I think that’s a reason yeah we’re not saying all he he lost his o o or his quarterback’s coach in Green Bay and got a new coach in leflour and was great I mean I don’t think he has to be happy like that what was it’s been 23 games since he threw for 300 yards be a thousand in three days before he gets another chance and he’s not going to you’re never going to give him credit because you’re a patri I’ll give him credit but he hasn’t thrown for 300 yards in over a th000 days okay thanks for watching subscribe here to get more from the show and to check out clips from other shows on FS1
