Jets gonna Jet. Tough break though. On the bright side he is 1-0 as the qb for the Jets, #undefeated lol.

    If he needs surgery will he require his surgical team to show up unmasked? Bet after his own research he just takes some ivermectin and walks it off.

    Completely torn achilles tendons aren’t real. He should be ashamed to be promoting a fake condition.

    So he’s basically an extra QB coach they paid $75M for. But if he makes Zach competent, maybe it would be worth it.

    I’m a Bils fan and I’m embarrassed that Zach was the most successful QB on the field last night.

      That’s a good point. An expensive qb coach but hey if he can turn Zach around… I’m not a Jets fan either. Just here for the chaos.

          Maybe the NFL is different from the NHL, but players on LTIR in the NHL don’t count towards the cap. I have to imagine there’s something similar in the NFL.

            Nope. Anything you pay (except one year veteran minimum deals that get an exception to be counted at a slightly lower number) hits the cap.

            You can manipulate timing with contract structure, but there is no way to pay a player without it counting to the salary cap

              There is always the Don Muhlbach option. Rodgers retires, it lowers the cap hit to just this year for a prorated amount, they get to re-sign him as a coach/assistant, and they might get a compensatory pick out of it.

    He didn’t immunize himself against that? Seems like a mistake on his part to me.

      Heroic dose of acid and a couple peyote buttons and he won’t even need his legs. He can just float around under center

    I’m sorry for all the jets fans. You had the team and the coaching staff to be competitive. You’ll have to improvise now. Hope you get a good season.

        Fellow Dolfan here. This sucks. You want to beat the Jets on their best day, not when they’ve got a replacement QB.

          Exactly. Nobody wishes for an injury, especially to someone as hyped as Rodgers to the Jets. I wanted to see him crash and burn while completely healthy

    That sack looked very routine too, no huge blindsided hit, just a regular takedown with a slightly weird angle on his legs. Real bad luck.

    That’s a fucking awful injury to get. My mom get it a few years back training for a marathon. Took her a year before she could walk again. She’s back training now but her doctor says its mostly scar tissue holding the tendon together now.

      I hope he gets introduced to Canton with the iconic 8 jersey. Such an amazing career with the Jetes

    He’s gonna go live on a farm where he can laugh and play and drink ayahuasca and spread dangerous laughably false medical advice.

    Ouch, that’s rough.

    As a dolphins fan it’s hard not to think that gives is a great chance of the division now, but, would have been far more fun going head to head with the Jets than this happening.
