James has a sound level, although the identical deference would doubtless solely be given to somebody of Rodgers’ stature.
Jets followers know nicely that their hopes for a breakout season relaxation on their quarterback, and all bear in mind how a promising 2023 circled the drain the second he went down with an Achilles harm.
New York has a stout protection and notable offensive weapons to go with Rodgers, and after opening the season on Monday night time in San Francisco, the Jets have a schedule that would favor a quick begin.
If that seems to be the case, Rodgers shall be handed the keys to the Large Apple.
And if New York performs nicely into January, nobody will bear in mind just a little jaunt throughout the ocean.
