Analyst makes bold prediction for Jets QB Aaron Rodgers for 2024

It’s hard to argue with Carton’s assessment.

We know how good Rodgers is when he is healthy. He has four MVP awards to his name and even won the award in back-to-back seasons as recently as 2020 and 2021.

Of course, Rodgers was showing some signs of a decline during his final season with the Packers in 2022, but he was also appearing to slow down back in 2019 right before putting together two of the best years of his career.

Basically, one would be remiss to doubt Rodgers, especially given all of the talent he is now surrounded with in New York.

The Jets went out and signed wide receiver Mike Williams to put alongside of Garrett Wilson last month, and they also added some significant pieces—such as tackle Tyron Smith—to what had been a miserable offensive line. We also already know how good New York is defensively, and it improved its defense even further by swinging a trade for top edge rusher Haason Reddick.

Plus, the Jets still have the NFL Draft to add more talent.

Obviously, Rodgers is coming off of a severe injury, and at 40 years old, anything can happen. But when it comes to identifying the best candidates for Comeback Player of the Year, Aaron Rodgers has to be at or near the top of the list.
