Why didn’t Jets excuse Aaron Rodgers' mandatory minicamp absence? | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC 

Me too brother 😂

Facts!

Will this raise the price of beer?

No he won't he doesn't have all rookies who can't catch like his last year in gb lol

Oh this is bs. Il remember this comment when their 3-1

He has 1 bad year in GB and their spoiled fans forget all about 2 straight MVP level seasons.

Facts!!

Had me dying 😂

Problem is aaron only thinks he is intelligent nobody else

He's a smart a$$ 🤣🤣🤣

He’s one of those guys that is like slightly above average, but has no self awareness and thinks he’s a total genius because he’s been a sheltered athlete his entire life.

Same here 😂

Facts 😂

The organization sold their soul for him and this is what they get. When a team like the Packers is practically giving away a hall of fame qb, its probly best to stay away.

Why should they? Then they get the hate for it instead of Aaron? They did the right thing, unlike Aaron. THEY TOLD THE TRUTH. They made it clear it wasn't on them that a dude who has made it clear "it's all about winning".

Nah, he just wants to middle finger the jets. Jets need a franchise QB period. Aaron Rodgers is a washed conservative hippy clown show on wheels. He doesn't respond well to discipline despite being the HOF veteran in the building. I guarantee you if Saleh grows a pair and disciplines him with a fine, Rodgers will throw a hissy fit and retire on the spot.

You have just written a statement that demonstrates EXACTLY why people with any understanding of how the real world actually works spend their entire lives pretending that you actually matter while never listening to a single thing you say. Living your life without a functioning brain does not make people who think and understand the bad guys.

@@paulmartin2348 as a person who basically thinks for a living I understand the necessity of intellectual professions. But your statement clearly displays a lack of having ever had to work with lawyers. Some lawyers are fine. They're there to help and look out for their clients interests. Others are just there to make sure they collect as many billable hours as possible creating documents that are impossible to decipher without years of training.

Lawyers didn’t create the judicial system. A lawyers job is to learn that system and make it simple for their clients. They have no responsibility to the general public to simplify a system they didn’t create

@@midnightjay1343 I beg to differ. Most of the drafters of our constitution were lawyers. Most of our legislators are lawyers. The people who wrote the rules of the judicial system are lawyers. It's a system of lawyers by lawyers and for lawyers

The lawyers didn't create the Constitution, British Common Law, nor the Magna Carta. Also, there is no law requiring you to use an attorney. We can hate attorneys, but they are obligated by law in every jurisdiction to represent their client to the fullest extent of their knowledge and abilities. Please name the system lawyers created to enrich themselves? Cause that would be good ole Capitalism and it's litigious nature. Of course, most people either don't need an attorney or can't afford one, so they naturally hate from their couch......till they need one🤣🤣🤣

Salah wanted Carr, but the right-wing MAGA owner overrode Salah's decision and had him get Aaron Rodgers.

How do you defend him signing a 3 year $150 contract with The Packers and then after the 1st year of that contract he went off on vacation to decide if he wanted to play year 2? The Packers finally had enough and told him to leave so he has to think fast to get The Jets to ki## his a##. Then Jordan Love has a great year and damn near beat the 49ers in the playoffs.

RICH EISEN IS CALLING IT A 'NO SHOW' , AS A TEACHER THAT TICKS ME OFF. WORDS HAVE MEANING

Yeah they all think they're going to win the super bowl lol

@@velder22 well…that’s kind of the best part about the offseason…most fanbases feel that way 😆😆…minus the Panthers and Patriots

Rodgers is a loose canon and a crybaby. We already know what's going to happen, he would threaten to retire if Salah even thinks about disciplining him. Then when he bitches and moans about "being cancelled" or the radical left has corrupted by the Jets, it'll just be him throwing stones from his ivy tower. Salah doesn't have the balls to be the head coach of the NYJ. NYJ needs someone like Sean Payton to reign a guy like Aaron in. Aaron simply doesn't respect, Salah or the owner.

Good point. Maybe he'll get another MVP

@@TiffsGardenVariety - Rodgers has played a grand total of 4 plays with the Jets. He could get away with the vanishing act in GB, but he still hasn't established himself in NY, and now he's 40 with a repaired Achilles.

Arron Rodger is the man. (that destroy every team his is "part" of)

Rodgers is nowhere near the talent of lebron

​@@saidufofanah2210Well he plays QB? I'm pretty sure Mahomes or Rodgers don't have the talent of a Paul George. Basketball is more skill demanding while the NFL is more complex.

More like kyrie

The difference is LeBron is 100% focused on basketball

He better hope he doesn't make it to another episode of D!ED SUDD3NLY

Dude is lousy...ever notice he looks exactly like Xerxes in the movie 300?

You can't really compare the two though. Brady mistake one day out of his whole career where is Rogers constantly pulls these shenanigans. Also, Brady's work ethic was unlike anybody in the league. Gronk and Edelman speak about this all the time saying that he would constantly stay after practice studying defenses, running routes, Rogers never did any of that crap. That's what separates greatness from just good.

Lolol this is pathetic whataboutism. The two aren’t at all comparable

UNEXCUSED ABSENCES FROM CAMP IS ACTUALLY PRETTY COMMON. JUST NOT REPORTED.

@@wolfmanhat33 ABSENCE FROM CAMP FOR STAR QBS.

​@@patrickzdanek2681no rodger never misses, shows you actually dont know what your talking about

Nobody's going to hold it against him because he was screaming for a contract before they traded him, everybody expected him to sit out until he gets paid

That’s my guess.

Do you know what the NY media is? This is standard business for them, look at the other headlines they do

@@night_wolf6621 what you say is true. Do you think Rodgers regrets going to the Jets?

@@w00deey12 I have no idea so I can’t speculate, but he did the same thing in Green Bay. If he expected the NY media to treat him how the GB media treated him then it confirms that he isn’t the smartest guy in the room

@@night_wolf6621 all things considered, I do not recall any other teams being interested...

@@w00deey12 The Broncos were definitely interested but I don’t know if they were interested the second time around

😂😂😂

Florio is SO annoying

You do realize he is a QB who throws to someone besides himself.

No.

@@joshbeezley4158resume says otherwise, all that talent for nothing, Big Ben is better than Rodgers

@@THEROOSTER92420 If we're talking actual careers and resumes, you could certainly make the case that both Eli and Big Ben have a very real case where you can say they have the edge over Aaron Rodgers. They both have one more ring. This is true. But what you can't make the case for (or refute) is that Aaron Rodgers was the better QB/player. There's a distinction that needs to be made here between 'better resume/career' and 'better QB.' That's why I don't think the question of, "Who had the better career" is unflawed. It can imply to some that it means that because one may have had the better career, that must also mean they were the better player. And the two are not necessarily correlated, especially in this case. I respect both of these players. Eli was a contributing factor in beating Tom Brady in the super bowl, twice. And Big Ben, even though he played a part in losing Super Bowl 45 to Rodgers' Packers in 2011, he still made it to 3 Super Bowls with the Steelers, winning two. I get it. I am not going to just be sitting here, bashing these two accomplished players. The aim of this post is not to be a hate-post. The aim here, is to inform that there is a terrible misconception out there that is just flat out erroneous. The misconception being 'better career = better player'. As I said, again, the two are not necessarily correlated. And they're not here. The case for why Eli and Big Ben stems, primarily down to rings. I don't disagree that rings and SB championships are the biggest (and most impotant) accomplishments that players can achieve in their careers. They are. If you say they had better careers, I won't fight you over it. But if we're going to say they were both BETTER than Rodgers, then we need more context here. If your definition of "better" is "better career/resume," again, I said I don't have much of a problem with anyone saying that. But we need to stop our horses if we're going to say "better career" means "better overall player" and look at a few things: 1) Winning anything is a team accomplishment. And QBs, without a doubt, are the most influential piece to any football team in this day and age. But they're not the "end all, be all." A player can play their best game and still find themselves on the losing side. Anything can happen over the course of any game that will decide the outcome in an opponent's favor. And all it can take for that momentum to swing is ONE play. A HB can fumble with his team up by 2 points and 0:50 seconds to go in the 4'th at this own 35-yard line on a hand off for time-clock management purposes, or a newly-signed CB, coming off the practice squad in relief for an injured key starter can find themselves screwing up in a pivotal moment where blow coverage and fail to prevent a 30+ yard TD pass in the front corner of the endzone to one of the top WR's in the game, with :03 second left and they go up by 1. (Btw, both of these instances happened in high-scoring games in the Rodgers era even though he didn't have one turnover in either game and was lights out excellent, matching point for point with the other team.) Because it's so many guys that have to do their job right, at any given time, any of them (and all of them) do find themselves making mistakes that cost their team over the course of the game. But any one of the 24 starting players on the team can make that one back-breaking, game-ending play for everyone else. It's a TEAM sport. 2) A player is responsible for what HE alone does in his position and needs to be credited when he does his job well and held accountable when he doesn't. He's not responsible for what the rest of the team does. He doesn't coach the entire team (including the defense, for example). He doesn't go to combines and scout the talent and put together big boards. He doesn't go out and acquire talent. He can advocate to management to get certain guys. The top QBs such as Brady and Rodgers have in the past. But they don't run the organization or have the final say. A QB is a leader of the team, but he doesn't do everyone else's jobs for them. 3) Therefore, since QBs (like any other positional players) are responsible for what they do in their assigned roles on the team, we need to judge them for what they, themselves, did and not just look at box scores, even though that's easier. QBs make mistakes, too. Even if they carry the most weight in terms of the influence in a game. We shouldn't judge the final outcome of a game on one player if we don't have context of what actually happened. 4) Last, the best way to get an accurate idea of what the player was like is to take a look at their personal, individual accolades and statistics. There are two types of achievements in the NFL: personal/individual and overall team achievements. Personal would be things like a player's stats (game, season and career), awards exclusive to their position that they can earn from being the best at their position, and broader awards, accessable for most positions (except LS, for example), like ROY, OPOY/DOPY and MVP which are awarded on the basis for making the biggest individual impacts in the entire league in a given year, as well as Hall of Fame status. That's all what a player can earn for what HE does. Not his team. Team achievements are different. These are a reflection of the state of said team. Not just necessarily one guy. Any game outcome is a reflection of a team achievement, including, but not limited to super bowls. So let's be fair here and judge these three by what THEY did and pool all their stats and individual accolades together, and see, not who had the better career, but who was the best player to define who was "better." These are their totals over their careers. (Note: I did NOT include Regular Season or Playoff Win Totals. This is just a collection of individual-related stats/awards and metrics.) Aaron Rodgers STATS Regular Season: 65.3% completion percentage, 59,055 passing yards, 475 passing TDs, 105 INTS, 103.6 passer rating over 231 games played Playoffs: 64.7% completion percentage, 5,894 passing yards, 45 passing TDs, 13 Interceptions, 100.1 passer rating over 22 games ACCOLADES/AWARDS 10x Pro Bowler 4x All-Pro 4x AP MVP 4x PFWA MVP Super Bowl 45 MVP HOF All-2010's Team 2011 Bert Bell Award 2011 PFWA Offensive PoY Award 2x SN Offensive PoY Award Eli Manning STATS Regular Season: 60.3% completion percentage, 57,023 passing yards, 366 passing TDs, 244 Interceptions (including two seasons where he led the NFL in INTS, twice), 84.1 passer rating over 236 games played Playoffs: 60.5% completion percentage, 18 passing TDs, 9 INTS, 87.4 passer rating over 12 games ACCOLADES/AWARDS 4x Pro Bowler 2x SB MVP 2016 Walter Payton Man of the Year (not really an on-the-field play award but we'll add it, anyways, I guess.) Ben Rothlisberger STATS Regular Season: 64.4% completion percentage, 64,088 passing yards, 48 passing TDs, 211 INTs, 93.5 passer rating over 249 games played Playoffs: 63.2% completion percentage, 36 TDs, 28 INTs, 86.7 passer rating over 23 games ACCOLADES/AWARDS 6x Pro Bowler 2004 AP Offensive RoY 2004 PFWA Offensive RoY 2004 SN RoY As the stats show, you would be incorrect to suggest they were better players than Rodgers. Rodgers has more TDs, less INTs, better completion %, and a higher passer rating in both the regular season and playoffs than both. The only thing Rodgers doesn't lead in is passing yards, but he trails Big Ben only by 5,033 yards but Ben has played 18 more games (due in large part to Rodgers having two fractured collarbones in seperate years where he missed large amounts of time in those years), but he would only need, roughly, a llittle more than a year (18 games to be exact) of 280 passing yards to tie him. Very managable he would surpass Ben in two years if healthy. Accolades-wise, Rodgers has more pro-bowl nods, MVPs, all-pros than either of them and, unlike either, made an all-decade team. These are INDIVIDUAL achievements. The point is this: Big Ben and Eli Manning are both esteemed, established, hall of fame players who accomplished A LOT in the NFL. Neither is a bum. Both are going to Canton. But in their careers, and in their primes, at their peaks, neither was better than Rodgers in his. The numbers point out, he is the better PLAYER. Better CAREER, there is a discussion. But better player, there is no discussion. It's Aaron Charles Rodgers.

Lamar is a certified playoff choker

Do you spend lots of time thinking about the sexual preferences of other men because that has not been a part of this story at all.

Who made you the spokesperson for ALL Jet's fans ... did you poll them all or did you just equate you not caring with all Jets fans not caring ?

They also didn't prove they could win WITH him. He hasn't earned shit in NY yet.

@@christopherweise438 He will have too or they will not be any good. For better or for worse (*and I am betting on better) he is the guy that can best get you wins.

@@richardprescott5939 - He can win alot of games.....and then fold up like a cheap lawn chair in the playoffs. I've lived it for many years here in Wisconsin.

@@christopherweise438 First come to NJ. The Jets have had one home playoff game this century. And that was the 4-5 Wild Card game. Second, one of the benefits of not having the team you watch in the playoffs, is you focus on the other games. So I have seen Green Bay. I never once thought of blaming Rodgers for any of the losses that I saw. I remember vividly watching him drive his team down the field and score 7. get the ball back and have his TE with no one within 5 yards drop the perfectly placed pass for a fumble instead of at least a FG. The weather was brutal. They went conservative the rest of the way against an excellent defense and lost on Special teams and a blocked punt late in the game.

Rodgers said everybody must ne there for winning mentality, everybody must ne on board and work, that's why

"Meaningful football" DOES NOT, by definition, include Arron Rodgers. That guy is cancer.

There is no meaningful football played in new york.

You got your popcorn yet ? Cause I’m getting mine ready 😂

You even went the extra mile and commented. Me? I think AR is a wackadoodle.
