New York needs to trade for Aaron Rodgers’s former favorite target to avoid further disaster.
Twice on the New York Jets’ final offensive drive Sunday, Aaron Rodgers and his wide receivers appeared to be on different pages. While this is not uncommon—in an NFL game where a team is attempting 25 to 35 passes, seeing a coverage or interpreting a hand gesture or signal differently is understandable—it becomes less tolerable as the season wears on.
To be clear, this is not to suggest Wilson or Williams were wrong by any stretch. Rodgers was as self-critical after this loss at the podium as we’ve heard him be all season and admitted that he was playing the game with a low-ankle sprain after momentarily leaving the field to get checked out by the medical staff. The way they understood both of these moments may have been perfectly reasonable.
Again, this is not passing blame to the wide receiving corps or saying they are not good enough. We all know that playing for Rodgers is like learning Mandarin after being dropped off via helicopter in mainland China. And a quarterback with two decades of experience will inevitably see and interpret coverages and situations differently than wide receivers who came up through a far more streamlined and simplistic age of offense, where a lot of the thinking has been removed from the equation.
