Jets Fan Rich Eisen: Aaron Rodgers Shouldn’t Bother Returning This Season | The Rich Eisen Show 

"In 2 weeks Tommy DeVito has as many touchdown passes for the Giants as Zack Wilson has had all season" - Is not a sentence I thought I'd hear. Much less after week 11.

I'm always here for Rich's Jets breakdowns 😂😂

TJ with the "so you'd rather have Susan Boyle as your quarterback?" cracked me up.

The football Gods gave you hope Rich, which is the cruelest thing to give to a Jets fan.

I will say tho, I honestly don’t know how much better the team would be with Aaron Rodgers, something that’s getting lost here is just how bad the o line is, we have to remember why is Aaron hurt? And how did Aaron look on that first drive before he got hurt? Obviously I think they would be slightly better than they are now but if u can’t protect ur quarterback, especially a pocket passer like Aaron, what are we really expecting this veteran to do? I hope for jets fans sake they heavily prioritize the o line this off-season, otherwise I think we are in for another year of frustrating football

GREAT rant Rich! I feel for you, Steelers fan here

That would be best. Every injured QB just needs a speedy recovery and hope they come back strong for 2024

"Angry Jets Fan" Rich Eisen is my all-time favorite

Thank you, Rich. I'm not a Jets fan, but I was hoping for AR's success in NY. If he comes back this year, he's taking a chance of this being his 'last stand', especially behind that O line.

Browns fan here saying hold my beer with injuries. Gotta stop catering to Rodgers.

Rich is just dropping truth bombs, Rodgers will be better for the team next year.

The whole Jets team quit yesterday..

that devito stat is nuts

As a Niners fan, being reminded of the Mike Nolan years triggered my gag reflex a little. Those were some dark times. Probably the only good thing about back then was it made me truly appreciate how good the Niners were back in the 80s and 90s.

Should have immediately gotten a capable backup. Now they pay the piper

welcome to what us broncos' fans had to go through last year.

Bench Hackett until Rodgers comes back. Cause next year, Rodgers is gonna call his own plays anyway, but Hackett has to be there so Rodgers doesn't decide to retire. DRAFT AND TRADE FOR AN OFFENSIVE LINE!!!

Zach Wilson should never take a snap under center ever again for the Jets. Let Boyle take the reigns through the draft.

Let me tell you a story about a team with a great defense and a quarterback named Wilson and where the hopes could not have been higher that totally stunk last year. The only common factor was Nathaniel Hackett. The Jets are 4-6 and on their way to 4-11 which is exactly when Hackett was fired last year.

That was 100% pure gold Rich Eisen! As a Packer fan I was wishing the best for Rodgers and hopeful for the Jets but concerned about the OL. Didn't take long for those concerns to turn to reality. If AR is not fully mobile (hard to believe he could be) he will get steamrolled.

I have a theory that the Jets organization and fans are paying for Joe Namath making a deal with the devil to win SB 3 over the Colts. That pissed off the football gods, and they have been kicking the Jets in the nards ever since as punishment.

rich always knows how to lift us up on mondays

That breath at the end 😂 Like Rich exercised a demon or something

Am I the only that remembers that Jessie episode when Luke asks about the Jets 😂😂😂 I always remember that for some reason

All this suffering Jets fans have been through this season is 100% on Rodgers and Hackett. No sports media has brought up the idea that Hackett/Rodgers are forcing Zach on Saleh. They are terrified of bringing in someone experienced and losing the Zach Wilson excuse as to why Hackett's offense is so bad.

Another great Rich Eisen rant for my notebook of Rich rants

if rodgers comes back this season he has the chance to make history and be the first player to rupture his achilles twice in the same season

Absolutely outstanding analysis with a tad Hollywood flavor. Thank you so much, Rich. Brilliant stuff.

Rich you Rock! And very funny when you get worked up!

LMFAO with the triptifan comment. Love this guy😂

epic rant!

I love your passion, Rich!! :)

I can not wait for this offseason. What do the Giants and Jets do about their QB situations and their o-line issues. I do not understand why building a good 0-line is so hard these days. Giants, Bengals, Jets, Commanders, Steelers,

He needs the attention Rich.

you forgot that Wilson was also benched for Chris Strevler in that Jaguars game (the last game Zach played in the 2022 season.)

That's sad when the punter looks better at Qb than Zach Wilson smh😢

If the Jets are relying on Rogers for a second year in a row then it's a classic case of fool me once... Why would the Jets want to rely on a 40 year old QB when other QB's a little more than half his age are being knocked out left and right? If the NFL isn't paying attention to the growing injury problem and not connecting it to the extra regular season game, Thursday games, and other scheduling shenanigans then the NFL will continue it's downward spiral of team with the least amount of injuries wins by default. Player safety? LMAO.

"Carson Wentz? I want no part of that!" -R. Eisen, Jets fan

Rich, sacrifice something to the Football Gods. Pour a shot of Jobu's rum and light a candle.

Why not have an extend preseason for him to get in sync with his new team mates. I don't think medical professionals make decisions based on team performance

That may have been your best one yet, Rich.

As a Dolphins fan hearing that Tim Boyle is starting against us Friday makes my day.

Rodgers would be out of his F mind to come back and play behind this oline. Him talking on Pat shows and talking all that mess is just for publicity.

I feel for Jets fans with such promise for this year. But being a Bills fan with all the hate for my QB and Buffalo in general……..not really.

I respect Rich for two things. His charity work, and his willingness to go down with the NY Jets' ship as a diehard fan.

Rich’s pain is palpable and its so weird. I feel genuine sympathy for Jets fans but I can’t stop laughing 😂

As a Broncos fan who watched Hackett's offense last year...it was AWFUL. In Denver he kept running an offense out of shotgun with a line that was AWFUL with pass protection. He never changed the offense when it was obvious it was not working. I know people blamed Wilson for the offense, but when the backup quarterback played (who is no longer in league), he still kept throwing the ball vs running the ball. When the ownership group fired Hackett, the temp coach who has a special teams background changed the offense and had the team focus on running the ball which led to a close lose to KC and a win over the Chargers (when the coach from the Chargers played his starters). Hackett is a nice guy, but how he has a job in the NFL is crazy. His best season was with the Jax when they went to the AFC Championship Game...and he focused on running the ball. The Broncos feel your pain because the team hired Hackett to get Rodgers and then Denver didn't get Rodgers and Seattle took the Broncs two premium first round picks and two second round picks....so it could be worse. At least the Packers don't have the Jets first round pick.

Wilson can always do better, but watching the game, what happened to the O-Line? Run game could not function as the O-Line could not block, or create the openings for Hall. How can Wilson get the ball out quicker if he does not have anyone open, or no-one blocking? Add to that the fumbles, drops and penalties, and you have a perfect storm. Would AR do better in this team? Probably, but it will be interesting to see if he plays with the same O-Line or it gets upgraded

I agree, Rich is right. Right now Zach's the scapegoat, you wouldn't want Rodgers to come back only to get injured again because of this swiss cheese of an oline. Let's not shift the blame at all and keep it all on ZW.

The Rodgers arc colliding with the Jets arc is literally the plot of The Music Man.

"This bunch of gnard kicking" ! 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😅😅😅

Haven't the Jets only won their division title 4 times in their history??

Rodgers should be back, and do an Andrew Luck retirement right after the first snap 💀

I love how when Rich is making his plea to the football gods, he looks right into the camera instead of towards the sky. Feels appropriate.

Zach wilson keeps getting so many chances it's hilarious to watch. Soo bad. Makes my raiders look like a playoff team

Zach Wilson: "So you're saying there's a chance..." "Yeah!"

Dear Jets GM & Head Coach - You dropped the ball not signing Josh Dobbs or someone else to take over for Wilson when you had the chance. I’m no Jets fan, but my bro-in-law is. Thanks for snuffing out his hope for the playoffs and wasting Aaron Rodgers’ incredible comeback/rehab effort. Happy thanksgiving and enjoy your next job.

I just hope the Jets really go after Devante Adams and give the Raiders a kings ransom.

all typos on purpose .have to give you back yalls respect

Pain.

Between this and michigan it’s been a rough week for rich

He’s right 💯

Coming from a Washington fan, we are used to getting our nards kicked too :(

Felt this in my bones

Can't really say the Jets made every move to make sure Wilson wouldn't start a single game. When they decided yea hey are offensive line is good enough. We really don't need to address that issue with a 39yr old QB play behind it with a history of getting injured to some degree for the last handful of seasons.

Eisen almost using the meme “this is what I ordered - Rodgers; but this is what I got, Boyle.”😱

"Danny Boyle?" Hahahahah, I had to google that one, YIIHAA!

Steelers offense is worse, i feel ya

Not a massive Rogers fan but he would make the Jets so much better, even if its just getting 3 or more first downs a game it helps the position battle and gives the defence more rest as they have to be gassed every game. Then a few more opportunities may open up. But you got to shore up that OLine next year.

Absolute truth. Sure it makes for a good story that Rodgers comes back this season…………..right up until he gets hurt again. That o-line still exists; he needs to stay on the sideline until next year.

He was also benched for Chris Streveler

Amen and Amen. Let Rodgers come back next year. Let's hope the Jets finish no better than 5-12 and gives us a chance at a QB. Also, let someone else make the pick. I like Joe D but the most important picks he had -- QB and OT -- he totally blew.

We’ve been saying this since week 6, welcome to the party

I'm a lifelong Bills fan 4 superbowl losses! I feel your pain we just can't have nice things lol

Rich as usual putting on a Master Class on how to be a great and professional media personality but also showing pain as a life long fan. Also, he didn't say one thing that's wrong lol

As a Cardinals fan I feel you Rich.

I agree on AR coming back this season. Don't see the point with their record and it's just risking another injury.

I do feel for Jets fans. Rodgers was never a long term plan anyways, and they lost him immediately and who knows if he’ll be 100% next year. But they still need to find a great young QB to develop, and that could take a while. They better hope Rodgers takes them to the SB next year because they’ll probably be back in rebuild mode soon

Could have had everyone from Joshua Dobbs to Phillip Rivers, to Teddy Bridgewater in the offseason.

Oh Rich you speak for all us Jets fans. Just Endure The Suffering !!!!! The Football gods will never stop 🥲💔

I'm pretty sure Aaron did said he was coming back as a morale booster to get the team to do well and didn't really have much hope of coming back this year.

Idk rich......even as an eagles fan.....I'd take Wentz over Wilson 8 days a week....

It would give you guys hope for next year if he plays a few games

Of course Aaron Rodgers should. It will keep him from showing off in the middle of someone else's game. Just look at how good he is now. How good is Nathaniel Hackett? You can't be good with only one QB. Just look at Josh McDaniel. How does Allen Lazard look?

All those stats and the bills still managed to give up the TD to blow my first half under with less the 2:00 to go in the half

He was also benched for chris streveler

Was wanting to hear Rich rant because I know he feels just like me

@richEisen I have always said that the JETS would have been much better as in season @HRRDKNOCKS. Could have seen who wanted zac to play and who wanted him benched. I have been watching the JETS since 1980 and I don't think will ever get it done

Honestly it’s on the owners for the injuries. Switch to grass turf

As a Packers fan i am just sitting back with my popcorn, laughing, thinking "I told ya so". There is a reason we got rid of him. Its not his on field play, its his need to control everything behind the scenes when he doesnt have the answer. 😂

This felt a lot like the scene from The West Wing where Bartlet yells at God in Latin. “You get Boyle”

Time for the Golden Boyle 😅

Rich you are the man! We all have had these rants before .

Rich Eisen, Joe Benigno, Evan Roberts, no matter which one you listen to after a Jets collapse you can hear the pain and despair in their voices. To repeatedly be kicked in the nuts when you let yourself believe for a second that maybe there's a glimmer of hope. Maybe that's why Chris Berman long time converted to a Bills fan.

Nice to see Rich finally seeing things real. The sell out and letting Rodgers run the team should be the final breath of the Jets. Almost as bad as selling the team to Watson like the browns.

It mest be great being a jets fan

Why make a change Sunday afternoon, and give Boyle just until Friday to get up to speed?

Everyone from Rodgers and Saleh said, they need to do something about the O-Line. Nothing was done to upgrade this vital position.

😂😂 Greatest Fn Rant Ever🏆🏆🏆

The line that folded on a sack that got him injured in the first place
