When it comes to the New York Jets offense, quarterback Aaron Rodgers has to endure scrutiny and backlash from fans. Whether be it the team’s losing production or offensive collapse like last season, the veteran quarterback is the one targetted by the angry fans. 

Though there are many finding this unjust, Bart Scott called it out openly during his appearance on ESPN’s Get Up. He believes the ten-time Pro Bowler deserves to rank among the top signal-callers. Irrespective of the critics’ belief that his performance will be affected due to the injury at the age of 40, Scott firmly believes in Rodgers’ capabilities.

Name me five quarterbacks that's better than Aaron Rodgers right now. You take that same Aaron Rodgers from 2022 and you put him on the Jets with the talent he has around him. Come on, [Chris Canty], who hurt you? ...You talk to any of those reporters. I've been to camp three times. You talk to any of those reporters that was out there against the Giants, and I know it's the Giants. He's been electric. He's been unstoppable.

After how the season collapsed for the Jets last year, the veteran quarterback has gotten a fresh opportunity to get back to the football field. He and the Jets firmly believe that they have the weapons to make a competing position in the AFC and reclaim the contender status.
