Wow.
Hot take from Chase that many won't agree with.

Aaron Rodgers in 2023 will be 2.5 years older than Matt Ryan was this season. Other than pretending that Rodgers is Tom Brady, I don’t know why so many people seem confident that Rodgers is going to be a good QB next year, much less in 2024. You basically pray he has 1 year left.
I agree with that take wholeheartedly.
Likewise. Certainly he's defying the odds, both as to his health and production, and I think many if not most observers would say he's lost a step or 3.
Many more missed throws and missed opportunities than we're used to seeing. But even with a broken thumb and playing at 80% or so at most from his peak, he's still better than most. I think the Packers decided he was down to his last year or so in 2020 and then he reeled off two straight MVPs. But agree that anyone taking on that contract and the sideshow that comes with it is praying to the football gods for one more good season.
good post but I think the bold print is why you take a chance on him. he has
no one to throw to , no TE, no WRs worth mentioning outside of maybe Watson, and that is why there were so many missed opportunities/drops/ints/incomplete passes. GB has killed Rodgers slowly, year after year, with a continually lousy defense, aging offensive line, and no WRs outside of D. Adams. if you put Rodgers on TB he would absolutely kill it with those WRs. put him on the jets and he'll do really well. it's like the plight of danny dimes, he has no star WR to pass to, nothing but a bunch of decent players who might not even make it off the practice squad on other teams. it's amazing what a good group of WRs does to a QB. you think Jalen Hurts would have been so good this seasons without Brown and Smith? nope.
on another note I'm not sure that Rodgers didn't just sabotage the season on his own. seems to me he's been battling with GB front office for the better part of the last decade. a change of venue would rejuvenate him beyond belief. put him on the vikings and he'll win the MVP and probably go to the SB again. they're not getting anywhere with Cap't Kirk , never will.
If I'm the Jets I'm seriously considering a trade offer for Rodgers. He might also do well in LV, Raiders have talent and a pass-happy coach. just imagine Rodgers on the Commandos, with those WRs and RBs. danny snyder is a deal maker it makes sense for them to throw their hat in the ring for Rodgers.
