To say that Aaron Rodgers’ tenure with the Green Bay Packers ended on a low note could be a bit of an understatement.
The legendary quarterback wanted no part of the organization anymore, and it seemed like they felt the same way about him.
After years of back and forth and shortcomings in the postseason, both looked primed for a new path away from the other, and that’s what happened.
So, ironically, while that might raise some doubts about how much he has left in the tank or how he’ll deal with another team full of young players in a big market with ruthless media, NFL analyst Jason McIntyre is actually excited about this new version of Rodgers.
“Aaron Rodgers is geared up for a monster season with the New York Jets.”

McIntyre explained that Rodgers seems like a whole new person.
He’s talked about being more patient, and it just feels like he’s really embraced his new team and this next step in his career.
McIntyre also pointed out the fact that the Jets won seven games despite having the worst quarterback in the league last season, so the fans should obviously feel quite excited about what’s to come with a future Hall-of-Famer at the position now.
Rodgers has been a bit of a character lately, and there are valid concerns about his ego and the way he’s handled himself over the past couple of years.
But at the end of the day, this is all about football, and there’s no one who can deny Rodgers’ greatness and impact as a quarterback.
