One of the main reasons that some New York Jets fans are skeptical of pursuing Aaron Rodgers is his drastic production dip in the 2022 season. Rodgers was a below-average starting quarterback in many statistical categories, which represented a steep nosedive for the back-to-back reigning MVP.
Among 33 qualified quarterbacks in 2022, Rodgers ranked 15th in passer rating (91.1), 27th in QBR (39.3), 23rd in EPA per dropback (-0.07), and 21st in passing DVOA (0.3%).
Those are worrisome numbers for a guy who will turn 40 years old later this year.
However, there are a few reasons to believe the Jets have the right supporting cast in place to facilitate a return to prominence for Rodgers.
