I believe you’re overstating how good their roster is. Yes their defense was in phenomenal but that offense regardless of QB wasn’t that good. Let’s see what happens now
There are some pretty good players on the offense, just not a lot. What I was saying is, because of that phenomenal defense, the Jets will be in most games. If Rodgers can play better than Wilson played last year, the Jets might be able to win some of those close games.
The Jets were blown out in only 4 games last year. Do you honestly want to tell me that Rodgers will play worse than Wilson played in 2022?
Could Rodgers have done better than Wilson in those 6 one TD games?
Losing those 4 blowouts and splitting those one TD loses would have netted them a 10-7 record which is respectable.
The Jets overpaid (but not by too much) for the chance to improve the weakest, and most important, position on the team with a player who was one year removed from winning back to back MVP awards.
Will he bounce back from 2022? Who know? But I think it is a worthwhile risk for a team that wants get into the playoffs.
If Rodgers reverts to MVP level play, the Jets would certainly be in the conversation for Super Bowl champs.
If he plays like 2022, the Jets would still have a chance of being a wildcard team because of the defense.
