Where Would Aaron Rodgers Rank Among the Best Quarterbacks to Switch Teams?

If you have a great quarterback, you’re not letting them go. It’s the most valuable position of any team sport, so if you have one, why lose it? There comes a time with everything in life, where it’s time to go for something new, no matter how great it is. New job, new home or a darkness retreat gives you a certain vision. Based on career numbers and the three-most recent seasons before switching teams, where would Aaron Rodgers rank among the biggest quarterbacks to change horses midstream?

How Has It Fared When the Jets Bring in a Veteran QB to Start?

More likely than not, the Jets will be bringing in a veteran to help the team under center. They went the inexperienced route for the last half decade and it’s safe to say that path has not worked out. Time is vicious flat circle for Jets fans, so how has it worked out when this team has done this before?

Where Did the Jets Make Mistakes in the Draft Since 2011?

If you don’t draft well, you don’t succeed. Those are words the Jets know but haven’t abided by. New York has the longest playoff drought of any team in the NFL.

The last time the Jets were even in The Big Game, the United States was months away from putting a human on the moon. Let’s not get started on that one.

Where Does Zach Wilson Rank Among Rookie to QBs to Start Most of the Season, but Win 3 or Less Games?

If you live in New York, you’ve heard nonstop praise about Zach Wilson in recent weeks. He didn’t throw an interception in his last 5 games! He looked pretty good for someone with a team filled with players that’d be on most practice squads! We found our new Joe Namath, how could you not be excited! It’s not like we say this about a quarterback every 4 years! In Wilson’s rookie season with the Jets, he won a mere 3 games, the lowest of any Jets rookie quarterback to start for a full season. Many will point to Peyton Manning, who also won 3 games in his initial NFL season, before emerging into an all-time great. Based on where they rank among categories like passing yards per game, touchdown percentage, interception percentage, QB rating, adjusted yards per pass and approximate value against each other, is Wilson the best rookie QB to win 3 or less games?
