Aaron Rodgers Believes Jets Must Break ‘Curse’ to Resurrect Struggling Franchise
NEW YORK, N.Y. – Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has weighed in on the New York Jets’ prolonged struggles, suggesting that the franchise may be under a “curse” that needs to be broken before they can turn things around.
History of Woe
The Jets have not had a winning season since 2015 and have only reached the playoffs once since then. Their most recent postseason appearance ended in a humiliating 41-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Wild Card Game last January.
The franchise has been plagued by a litany of issues over the years, including poor draft picks, coaching instability, and a lack of leadership. Rodgers believes that these problems may be rooted in something more than just bad luck.
The ‘Curse’ Theory
Rodgers has long been a believer in the supernatural and has often spoken about the importance of spirituality in his life. He recently suggested that the Jets may be cursed due to some unknown transgression in the past.
“I’m not saying they’re cursed in the sense of a voodoo spell or anything,” Rodgers said in a recent interview. “But there’s definitely something holding them back. They can’t seem to get out of their own way, and it’s almost like there’s some unseen force working against them.”
Breaking the Cycle
Rodgers believes that the only way for the Jets to break this supposed curse is through a combination of hard work, determination, and a change in mindset.
“They need to believe that they can win,” Rodgers said. “They need to go out there and play with confidence, and they need to start winning games. The more they win, the more their confidence will grow, and eventually they’ll be able to break through that barrier.”
Jets Respond
The Jets have not officially commented on Rodgers’ comments, but some players have expressed their own thoughts on the matter.
“I don’t know about curses or anything like that,” said Jets quarterback Zach Wilson. “But I do believe that we have the talent to be a good team. We just need to put it all together and start playing better.”
NFL Experts Weigh In
NFL experts have weighed in on Rodgers’ comments, with some agreeing with his assessment and others dismissing it as superstition.
“I think Aaron Rodgers has a point,” said NFL analyst Cris Collinsworth. “The Jets have been through a lot of turmoil in recent years, and it’s possible that they’re carrying some psychological baggage that’s holding them back.”
“I don’t believe in curses,” said former NFL coach Herm Edwards. “But I do believe that teams can get stuck in a negative cycle. The Jets need to find a way to break that cycle and start winning games.”
Conclusion
Whether or not the Jets are actually cursed is a matter of debate. However, there is no doubt that they are in need of a major turnaround. If they can find a way to break their losing streak and instill a winning culture, they may finally be able to shed the label of being one of the NFL’s most cursed franchises.
