Aaron Rodgers needs a great offensive line to win a Super Bowl with the New York Jets
Now that Aaron Rodgers is a New York Jet (or at least he “intends” to be one), it’s time for Joe Douglas to ramp up his aggressiveness toward building a championship-caliber roster around the four-time MVP.
The Jets, who looked like the quintessential “just a quarterback away” team in 2022, do have a lot of pieces in place around Rodgers that can help him lead the team to a Super Bowl. Their defense is top-notch and the skill-position weaponry has the potential to be stellar when given the opportunity to work alongside a great quarterback.
But what about the offensive line?
It goes without saying that it is imperative for the Jets to provide excellent protection in front of the soon-to-be 40-year-old Rodgers if they want to have a serious chance of competing for a Super Bowl title this season. Everyone knows this.
What makes this point even clearer, however, is the stark difference between Rodgers’ performance when pressured and his performance when throwing from a clean pocket.
Rodgers’ pressured-versus-unpressured splits make it abundantly clear that New York should be pursuing at least one big-time addition on the offensive line, if not two. Hopefully, the Jets’ analytics staff has shown Douglas the staggering numbers below.
