There have been 36 starting quarterbacks for the Jets since Joe Namath left town after the 1976 season and none of them have hoisted the Lombardi Trophy with Gang Green.
The 39-year-old has gravitas that no Jets quarterback has had since Brett Favre was here in 2008. Since then, it has been young draft picks or old journeymen at quarterback with résumés that can’t compare to Rodgers’.
