When the Green Bay Packers first traded future Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets, he was lauded as that franchise\u2019s savior, who would lead them out of over a decade of mediocrity and onto the level of Super Bowl contenders.<\/p>\n

Jordan Love, meanwhile, was doubted by the national media and many of his own team\u2019s fans, just as Rodgers was when he took over for Brett Favre back in 2008.<\/p>\n

The trade happened a little less than two years ago, and a great deal has changed for both quarterbacks since then.<\/span><\/p>\n

Green Bay Packers Quarterback Jordan Love and New York Jets Star Aaron Rodgers Have Had 2 Very Different Experiences Since the Trade<\/h2>\n

Rodgers, of course, was lost for the entire 2023 NFL season after he tore his Achilles four snaps into New York\u2019s Week One game versus the Buffalo Bills.<\/p>\n

Love, on the other hand, overcame a slow start to the season in his first year as a starter to lead the Packers to a 9-8 record and a spot in the NFL Playoffs. He also happened to have the best first-season as a starter of any quarterback in franchise history:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Quarterback<\/b><\/th>\nCompletion %<\/b><\/th>\nYards<\/b><\/th>\nTouchdowns<\/b><\/th>\nInterceptions<\/b><\/th>\nPasser Rating<\/b><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Jordan Love<\/td>\n64.2%<\/td>\n4,159<\/td>\n32<\/td>\n11<\/td>\n96.1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Aaron Rodgers<\/td>\n63.6%<\/td>\n4,038<\/td>\n28<\/td>\n13<\/td>\n93.8<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Brett Favre<\/td>\n64.1%<\/td>\n3,227<\/td>\n18<\/td>\n13<\/td>\n85.3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

And while Rodgers has been healthy in 2024, the gap between the two is still staggering.<\/p>\n

Love and the Packers are currently 9-3 while he has completed 63.0% of his passes for 2,518 yards, 20 touchdowns, 11 interceptions, and a 95.8 passer rating.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rodgers and the Jets, on the other hand, are 3-9 while the four-time NFL MVP has completed 62.5% of his passes for 2,627 yards, 19 touchdowns, eight interceptions, and an 87.5 passer rating.<\/p>\n

The New York Jets Are Going to Stick with Former Green Bay Packers Quarterback Aaron Rodgers\u2026 For Now<\/h2>\n

Obviously, for a team to be 3-9, there needs to be a lot that goes wrong. While New York\u2019s woes are not entirely the fault of Rodgers, he has played a significant role in their struggles and late-game collapses. He played so poorly on Sunday in their loss to the Arizona Cardinals that many wondered if he had played his last game for the Jets.<\/p>\n

Indeed, the thought was that he would [finally] be benched.<\/p>\n

But interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said today that Rodgers is his starting quarterback, presumably for the rest of the year.<\/p>\n

According to Rich Cimini of\u00a0ESPN,\u00a0<\/em>Ulbrich said:<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, he\u2019s done amazing things. He\u2019s done legendary things, Hall of Fame things in this league, and I think that\u2019s always part of the conversation. Always.<\/p>\n

<\/span>\u201cHe\u2019s our quarterback.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s battled through a lot of things, regardless of your age. What he\u2019s had is something that some guys in this league may not play with, so he\u2019s a tough guy and he feels a high level of accountability to his teammates. It\u2019s why he\u2019s out there every week for us, and we believe, as he gets healthier and his mobility starts to improve, I think you\u2019re going to see a better and better version of him.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While Rodgers, who turned 41 years old today, may be the Jets starter for the remainder of the season, the same cannot be said for 2025. More and more reports are stating that the feeling around the organization is that he will either retire or be released.<\/p>\n

For his part, Rodgers has said that\u00a0if\u00a0<\/em>he decides he wants to play at all in 2025, he wants to play for the Jets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
