Previous Modern York Planes quarterback, one-time Most Important Player and current NFL examiner Boomer Esiason clarified amid Tuesday’s version of the WFAN “Boomer and Gio” program why Unused York QB1 Aaron Rodgers had “way better not” have a say in who serves as his reinforcement amid the 2024 season.
“The Planes got to do whatâs within the best intrigued of the group, not within the best intrigued of one particular player,” Esiason said, per Ryan Chichester of Audacy. “â¦Aaron Rodgers isn’t a 25-year-old making $50M a year. Heâs a 40-year-old coming off (a torn) Achilles. You superior have somebody back there merely believe. It doesnât matter whether Aaron Rodgers likes him or not. You gotta get a genuine fellow in here in case he needs to play three or four recreations.”
Rodgers’ relationship with Zach Wilson coupled with Planes proprietor Woody Johnson apparently needing to keep long-term Lobby of Famer upbeat come about in Wilson starting this past campaign as Modern York’s QB2. Rodgers at that point endured his torn Achilles four hostile snaps into the regular-season opener, and Wilson eventually floundered before he was benched amid a blowout misfortune in Week 11.
It has since been detailed that Wilson’s sentiments almost Rodgers “soured over the season.” Johnson specifically recognized final week that the Planes “require a reinforcement quarterback,” the most recent sign that the club apparently will attempt to induce anything in return for Wilson either before or without further ado after this year’s draft.
In the mean time, Robert Saleh has gone 18-33 as Planes head coach and likely held onto the work this winter since he gotten Rodgers’ support. Esiason fears that the 40-year-old who played with a broken thumb on his tossing hand amid the 2022 campaign and after that managed with a harming calf final spring won’t be able to provide the Planes 17 begins another season.
“I donât truly care what Aaron Rodgers considers in this specific situationâ¦they require a authentic reinforcement,” Esiason included. “You’ve got to expect he gets harmed some place along the line. Ideally not genuinely. But to form it through 17 diversions, man, particularly coming off an Achilles harm?”
Esiason’s takes make bounty of sense, but history recommends Johnson and/or common supervisor Joe Douglas will, at the exceptionally slightest, reach out to Rodgers some time recently a modern confront is included to the club’s quarterback room. For superior or for more awful, the 2024 Planes likely will either flourish or fall flat based on Rodgers’ wellbeing and play.
