The Jets are absolutely right to want Aaron Rodgers, one of the best players in NFL history, and Rodgers was wise to choose the Jets, who would have won at least 10 games with competent quarterbacking last year. I love this fit. Now all the Jets have to do, after they consummate a trade with Green Bay, is move the team.
Rodgers in New York will be a science experiment designed to test the limits of human nature, and not in the way Rodgers seems to enjoy. This will be the opposite of a darkness retreat. Controversial stars in New York are forced to stand under a bright light 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Everything they do gets scrutinized.
Rodgers could be the best quarterback the Jets ever had and the least suited to play in New York. He hears everything and bristles at a lot of it. For this to work, one of two things has to happen: Either Rodgers needs to completely change his personality, which is not realistic (or fair to ask), or he needs to play so exceptionally well from the first snap that nothing else seems to matter.
