Jets Fan Rich Eisen Lays Out His Expectations for Aaron Rodgers: “Play Until He’s Brady’s Age”

it was right around a year ago next week how about that uh when we had Joe Douglas to the Jets general manager on the show and I turned into Chris Farley from the Chris Farley Show remember that time he took sauce Gardener that was awesome that was awesome and then remember you got Gary Wilson that was awesome that was awesome remember you you traded back in for Jermaine Johnson that was that's awesome and then you drafted Brees Hall second round without those picks maybe Aaron Rodgers isn't as interested in coming to the Jets as he clearly was just throwing it out there just spitballing he's not just coming to go to New York it's a pretty damn good option so my favorite general manager of all time yeah go for it well Del tufo has been playing the other options the other option all day long on the general manager of the New York Jets that's the floor yeah or wait a minute that's the scene in many ways all right it's a struggle oh gosh honestly John isek's voice is is a chalkboard to me we won't judge job status in the season oh God and Mike Tannenbaum obviously could be sitting there going well wait a minute what are you talking about so that's the Isaac is the floor at any rate Joe Douglas he gave up a lot for somebody who's pushing 40 and said I don't want to play anywhere else and I'm definitely not going back to the team that's uh that that has me he did give up two spots in the first round and he gave up a second round pick in my estimation that I didn't even pay attention to I didn't think they were using that thing period and then it's next year it's rolling the dice you want you want to perform as well as you possibly can this year so a next year's first round draft choice is easier to swallow certainly it's very easy to swallow when you're staring at something very shiny in the case that said when Zach Wilson was clearly struggling last year and clearly exiting the season as in my mind non-viable as an option to start the season for the Jets in year three why Rogers out of all the other options as we all know they told Derek Carr you could be a first battle Hall of Famer if you come here and we all know there's Lamar still sitting out there eager I would imagine if he signed an offer sheet instead they go Rogers why is that I mean obviously uh Aaron's one of the one of the best quarterbacks to ever play this game and um to have an opportunity to to add a player of that that caliber you're always gonna you're always gonna look into it and how it how it fits within within our culture within our team and um you know obviously um it's it it goes back to something I said to you guys in Phoenix it's a it's a real it's a real credit to Robert his staff and what he's been able been able to implement um with our players and with with everyone here that that a player of Aaron's caliber would even want to come here and so um you know we're just we're all excited to add someone of of his character and his ability that's right he wants to go there you know what that's the offensive Rookie of the Year that's the Defensive Rookie of the Year that's an All-Pro Quinn and Williams grown ass man in the middle that's brace priest Hall hopefully coming back from a knee uh injury and by the way Mike apropos of nothing you're the Rich Eisen Show Audio expert strong mics or just really heavy fingers on the type right on the keyboard strong mics and heavy fingers so it's both somebody's somebody's a very heavy typer yeah every now and then you can hear Mike my goodness well I mean you're a very heavy typer and a breather as well do I breathe heavy yeah I'm sorry but I wish I wish Joe Douglas could use a visual aid because I would have helped him why Aaron Rodgers put it up why are Rogers the rest of the 10 years look at this list stack one on top of the other and what do you got you got one Super Bowl ring from over a decade ago with Joe Flacco and a whole lot of warning somebody like Aaron Rodgers to show up Fitz was good so goodies on Amazon a couple years later and they didn't even make the playoffs and I love Ryan Fitzpatrick get out of here and I I don't imagine Aaron Rodgers is going to throw how many how many interceptions did Fitz throw in Buffalo in that last game where they needed to win to make the playoffs I'm sure Mike Hoskins must know 72 because he probably remembers that gift of a of a game for against his beloved bills now here's the last question what about Zach really that was ass today it was yeah um I feel like this is going to be a a great thing a great thing for for Zach and you know I've spoke to you guys at the combine and you know um Zach Zach ceiling is unlimited and uh no one works harder no one loves Bob Moore than Zach Wilson and um him having the opportunity to really Shadow and and be be with a first battle Hall of Fame quarterback um every day uh every hour he's in the building that's uh that's a great opportunity and a great experience I'll say this is distinct succinctly and respectfully as possible for two reasons one we only have a minute to go and two it's it won't take much very long Zach appreciate what you did for the last two years if we find out that you still are of a viable quarterback in the NFL for the end for the Jets then something's gone wrong with the Aaron Rodgers he's got to play two years to make this trade work and they're not going to make some decision on picking his fifth year option up based on having him back up Aaron Rodgers I don't want to see Zach I want Aaron in there and I want to make the playoffs and I want to win the big one that's what this is about with all due respect to Zach Wilson we better not see him play for the Jets in his first contract again and I don't know how you sign him to a second one I want Rogers play until he's Brady's age how does that sound here endeth the show catch the Rich Eisen show every single day on the Roku Channel 12 to 3 Eastern for free
