Oh, I wasn't predicting anything. Just suggesting a likely answer to your thought of 'what will the narrative look like if Rodgers has another down year'...

But he certainly could rebound if fully healthy.

But I think the other thing against him is: to run an offense the way he really wants to (get to the line, look it over, then suddenly signal or something where he wants a particular receiver to go, or maybe not even signal - just recognize and expect the receiver to automatically see it the same way), I think it takes YEARS to develop that kind of rapport with the receivers. When he first came into his own (2010-11 time frame), he had Jennings-Driver-Jones - guys who had already become stars under Brett Favre. Then, about the time those guys were gone, he'd already had a few years with Nelson. And about the time Nelson left, he'd already had a couple of years with Davante Adams. So there was always a lot of overlap - he had guys that he had that kind of relationship with, while he was also developing it with the next round of guys. Whereas in NY, he's had a grand total of zero snaps with their receiving group (except for Lazard, who's pretty much a nothing burger of a WR anyway). So IF (notice: I said IF, not predicting anything) things don't work out, I'd expect that's a big part of the reason - his style of QB/leading a team is not conducive to coming in and hitting the ground running from day 1.

And the problem for him is, he probably doesn't have enough years left to develop that kind of rapport with the receivers on the Jets to get back to that level of play/offensive success before his physical ability starts to deteriorate (back to the first point: Father Time is still undefeated...)

Which, by the way is, why I was so adamant that the second Adams was gone, Rodgers should have been on the next train out of town - he didn't have anyone left on the team to enable him to run an offense his way, and he doesn't have enough years left to develop those kinds of relationships...
