His awareness and decision making still seem pretty solid but I’m starting to wonder if that is enough.

Most analyses th… Obviously, Rodgers’ year last year was nonexistent, so not everything applies, but yeah, I never thought he would be the savior that Jets’ fans were craving (and that all the pundits were predicting).
