n an unexpected twist of fate, the New York Jets, a team that once held dreams of Super Bowl glory in the palm of their hands, have found themselves in quite the predicament. Their star quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, whom they had hoped would lead them to their first Super Bowl win since, well, the first Super Bowl, found his Achilles tendon as shattered as the team’s hopes when his foot contorted awkwardly beneath him during a fateful play.Jets’ fans everywhere dropped their hotdogs and beers in shared agony. Their social media feeds were awash with grief, memes of crying Jordans, and gifs representing the collective soul-crushing despair of witnessing their team’s potential glory fade into the distance.
As the dust settled and fans came to terms with a season without Rodgers, speculation began about the next step for the Jets. Who could possibly fill the shoes of the great Aaron Rodgers? Young Zach Wilson, the once-backup and now involuntary starter, is undeniably talented but might need a seasoned veteran to back him up.
