Life After Rodgers
Certainly life with Rodgers never really got off the ground. But we ve already seen what this Jets team looks like with Wilson under center. Last year in nine games Wilson was 132/242 with a 54.5 completion percentage to go with six touchdowns and seven interceptions. Including last night, Wilson has 16 TDs to 19 INTs in his career.
The Jets struggled to move the ball with Wilson at QB last night again as Wilson went just 14/21 for one touchdown and interceptionm with 140 passing yards.
The Jets defense allowed 18.6 points per game last year, good for second overall. But the defense could only do so much. Offensively, New York scored an average of only 17.4 PPG to rank a dismal 29th. They finished the season 7-10 and missed the playoffs.
The defense is solid and the Jets made improvements elsewhere, but an offense led by Wilson is just not a Super Bowl team. It may not even be a playoff team. The Jets are currently priced at +215 for the yes and -280 for the no at DraftKings.
Jets Look to Add Rodgers Replacement
There s no real way to replace a four-time NFL MVP and previous Super Bowl winner. But the Jets will at the very least need QB depth and at the best, find someone to take over from Wilson.
Atop the NFL free agent list, are veteran QBs Carson Wentz, Matt Ryan, Colt McCoy, Joe Flacco and Nick Foles. None of these options scream Super Bowl contender, but all have plenty of experience. Ryan, Flacco and Foles have all played in the big game and Flacco and Foles have Super Bowl MVP awards on their resume.
Flacco also has experiecne playing with the Jets, while McCoy has proved to be a capable backup throughout his career.
While some Jets fans were clamoring for Tom Brady to come out of retirement to save their season, that s just not a viable option. Brady has stated he is retired for good this time, has a minority stake in the Las Vegas Raiders and has a lucrative broadcasting deal lined up with FOX for 2024.
Past that, the Jets could look to trade for a competent backup from someone else in the league. The current candidates could be Andy Dalton (CAR), Jacoby Brissett (WAS), Sam Darnold (SF), Taylor Heinicke (ATL), Teddy Bridgewater (DET), Gardner Minshew (IND), Tyler Huntley (BAL), Tyrod Taylor (NYG), Jameis Winston (NO), Mitch Trubisky (PIT) and Marcus Mariota (PHI).
Three Interceptions By Whitehead
There were some positives for the Jets. Obviously they prevailed with the win to take a share of the AFC East lead at 1-0 with Miami.
Breece Hill rushed for 127 yards, Garrett Wilson pulled down an incredible catch in the endzone for a score, and the Jets defense had five sacks and were led by a standout performance by Jordan Whitehead who had three interceptions. In fact, Whitehead just cashed a season-long incentive bonus of $250,000 for finishing the year with 3+ INTs.
