I’ll make the bold prediction that Rodgers flops\* this year in NY. Because of Brady’s remarkable longevity, it feels less remarkable for a 40+ year old QB to be elite, but I suspect that Rodgers’ best years are now behind him and last year was less of a fluke and more of a harbinger. Add to that having to learn a new system after nearly 2 decades in the same one, with mostly new teammates on a (let’s face it) historically dysfunctional franchise, and I believe he will struggle. Most analyses that I’ve seen say adding Rodgers makes the Jets instant playoff contenders. I don’t think that’s true, particularly in the AFC East. \*_By “flops” I mean he does not perform significantly better than he did last year, which is obviously still an improvement for the Jets, but way less than what everyone is expecting._ --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nfl-2023-off-season-thread/979801)._
