Reports: Aaron Rodgers Is Annoyed With Jets Offense

As the quarterback of the New York Jets, Aaron Rodgers faced a different club for the first time, and he got a taste of what it was like for his predecessors to hold the position.

Reports: Aaron Rodgers Is Annoyed With Jets Offense

At the end of a shaky day for the Jets offence, Rodgers, who was pushed by the Carolina Panthers’ pass rush in a joint practice on Wednesday, threw a terrible three-and-out in a two-minute drill.

Aaron Rodgers’ importance to the New York Jets was largely discussed in the first episode of Hard Knocks, but reports from the team’s training camp suggest that the 39-year-old quarterback had some issues this past week.

The teammates of rookie quarterback Aaron Rodgers may have detected discontent for the first time.

“I sensed frustration from everybody — everybody on the O-line, Aaron, the coaches,” center Connor McGovern said. “You can’t go three-and-out in a two-minute drive like that. … I think there was disappointment from the whole team.”

Rodgers, though, claimed he noticed some “good things” and didn’t seem overly concerned about the offensive unit’s difficulties this week:

“I thought we maybe didn’t have the same type of energy [as Carolina], for whatever reason, at the start of practice,” Rodgers said.

“But I thought there were some good things — a lot of learning tape out there. I thought it was good to be out there against a different defence. I thought we handled the front pretty well in the run game. Pass game, there were some issues.”

According to players, since his arrival in April, Rodgers has been kind and supportive of his new colleagues as they attempt to understand a new playbook. He is one of just four players who has knowledge of Nathaniel Hackett’s offense.

However, Rodgers’ endurance could eventually run out.

“I could see that changing, yeah,” wide receiver Corey Davis said. “He’s been real patient, real lenient with us, and working with us and making sure we get everything down, which is what we need. But I could imagine it going the other way if it doesn’t pick up.”
