The New York Jets have struggled to find any kind of consistency on the field for what now feels like an eternity.

Last year was supposed to be the turning point for the franchise after it made a blockbuster trade the previous offseason to acquire superstar quarterback and four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers.

While the living legend was already in the twilight of his career, he was just two seasons removed from his fourth MVP, just one year after his third MVP.

Entering his 19th year in the NFL, expectations were high for Rodgers and the Jets, a team believed to be “just a quarterback away.”

After just four stoppages in his tenure with New York, all hope was gone for the team and its star quarterback, with a torn Achilles tendon ending his season prematurely.

The Jets have become accustomed to disappointments from their quarterback room over the years, although more on the performance side than the injury side.

In the 2018 NFL Draft, New York selected Sam Darnold with their first pick, a highlight reel from the USC Trojans.

The team saw ghosts early in his tenure as starter and quickly turned away from Darnold to take Zach Wilson with their first pick of the 2021 NFL Draft, a highlight reel over the BYU Cougars.

Wilson’s time as a starter would also be short-lived, although he is still on the roster, while Darnold now serves as the starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings, a playoff contender at this point in the year.

What’s most troubling about the QB Carousel the Jets find themselves in is the lack of scoring they’ve gotten from their quarterbacks heading into the 2024 campaign.

With his 10th touchdown pass of the year last week, Rodgers became the first New York quarterback to reach double figures in the stat line since Darnold threw for 19 in 2019.

Rodgers is now at 12 for the year with nine games remaining, and the team recently acquired one of its all-time favorite targets in Davante Adams, so 20 passing touchdowns for the year should come with ease.

The last quarterback to reach 20 or more touchdowns in a single season with the Jets, you ask?

Well, it’s none other than Ryan Fitzpatrick, who threw 31 touchdown passes for the team way back in the year of our Lord 2015.

Rodgers will have to step up his game if he plans to reach the 30-touchdown mark, but if anyone can do that, it’s Rodgers.
