Keyshawn Johnson: Aaron Rodgers Quit, Took His Ball and Went Home

Keyshawn Johnson didn't like Aaron Rodgers taking himself out of a 40-0 game. | Speak on X

Aaron Rodgers's second season with the New York Jets, like the first, did not go expected. Gang Green is 4-12, leaking oil and sputtering to the finish line in a season that's been heavy on drama and light on winning. Rock bottom may have been last Sunday, when Rodgers instigated his own benching in the fourth quarter while trailing 40-0 to the Buffalo Bills.

Some might suggest Rodgers is 40 years old and doesn't necessarily need the reps in lost cause garbage time amid a lost cause season. Others might view that is abandoning the team on some level and not the type of action a team leader should take.
