It sounds like the Jets benching Aaron Rodgers is on the line again

Everyone has something to hold on to in times of need. A force for good in their lives that gives them emotional support in their hour of need. Believe. Family. Friends. Art. Entertainment. Mind-altering substances. Promiscuity. Your source of comfort may be different, but everyone needs something to hold on to when times get tough.

As for me? I suppose I draw on all of the above to varying degrees. (Okay, not the last one. No matter how many women throw themselves at me, I’m taken. My desirability is both a blessing and a curse.) But when it comes to caring, it’s about much more than just about Mentally, emotionally and physically healthy across a 3-10 team, there’s only one place to turn.

The New York Jets are my protection from the football storm. They always have been, and nothing has changed. If anything, this year has brought me the most joy when I was most in need. As long as the Patriots are fighting, I can always find peace and contentment in the warm, loving embrace of the failed Jets.

And just in case it wasn’t enough to squander the lead of 14:0, 21:7 and 21:19 with 5:31 minutes left in the game, they followed up with these tender reprieves. Remember the reports that said the owners wanted to bench Aaron Rodgers:

They’re back. And better than ever:

Source – Things have gotten so bad for the New York Jets and quarterback Aaron Rodgers that the future Hall of Famer’s job security may now be in jeopardy.

A day before his 41st birthday, Rodgers played one of his worst games of the season in a 26-21 loss to the Seattle Seahawks at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, prompting a lukewarm postgame endorsement from interim coach Jeff Ulbrich.

Ulbrich stumbled when asked to rate Rodgers’ performance, which included an interception in the red zone – a game-winning pick-six in the second quarter. Ulbrich said he had to watch the film before he could give a review.

It is highly unusual for a team official to give a “coachespeak” answer when discussing a record player. Ulbrich was asked if he was thinking about a quarterback change. Instead of ending speculation with a clear “no,” he replied: “Not as of today.”…

“Yeah, I don’t know. We’ll figure that out when we have those conversations,” Rodgers said of the possibility of a change, adding, “I’ll have a conversation with (Ulbrich) if that’s what he thinks.”

Rodgers declined to comment on his reaction, saying it was hypothetical.

Glorioski, does that ever feel good? Just what I need to help any Patriots fan through this vale of tears. There is a quote often attributed to Helen Keller, Shakespeare or Gandhi: “I cried because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet.” And I add: “I felt sorry for myself , because my team had three wins. Until I saw a team with three wins and no future because they wasted all their resources on a 41-year-old quarterback, fired their coach and their general manager.” . Then I cried and laughed at their terrible misfortune.

I mean, the more you look at it, the more angles you look at it from, the better it gets:

I mean, imagine if they benched him? I’ll say what I said when it happened to Eli Manning. Name me another Hall of Fame quarterback who ever lost his job solely because of ineffectiveness. Don’t quote me, Joe Montana. He missed a season with an elbow injury when Steve Young was inducted into the Hall of Fame. Eli was first. Rodgers could be just days away from finishing second. And he and the Jets swing that toilet bowl together.

If you’re a Jets fan (I feel for you), this is not the year to pursue a rebuild at quarterback, even if you have the resources. The 2025 draft is expected to have one of the weaker QB classes in years. On most consensus big boards, no one gets into the top 10. Only Jalen Milroe (Alabama), Cameron Ward (Miami) and Shedeur Sanders (Colorado) get into Round 1. And until the end of the 2nd round or no one at all 3. There definitely won’t be a Drake Maye at number 3. But there was last April, which makes the Patriots’ failure much more bearable than the Jets’ failure.

With that, let me express my gratitude to the entire organization for existing in this current state. From the ruthless empty suit owner, Woody Johnson, to the simplest, incompetent assistant and everyone in between. Thank you for just being you. I would add, “Never change,” but 55 years after the last win and nine straight losses, that will never happen. If Aaron Rodgers can’t fix you and just makes you worse, what hope is there?
