As the New York Jets try and figure out who should be their quarterback next season, not everyone is convinced that Aaron Rodgers would be the right choice.
Hall of Fame defensive lineman Joe Klecko joined The Zach Gelb Show on CBS Sports Radio Wednesday and raised some concerns about Rodgers, particularly how he could disrupt the chemistry of the team.
“He’s a great player — MVP three times — [but] when he didn’t have the perfect arrangement with the receivers and gameplan and line, his attitude is condescending so much to the player,” Klecko said. “He didn’t wanna come back to the huddle and all.
“I can’t see like [Garret] Wilson – he won Rookie of the Year for offensive player – I can’t see him coming back to the huddle and Rodgers is lambasting him for running the wrong route. It’s not going to fit. I don’t see it.”
Rodgers certainly does not shy away from controversy and can rub people the wrong way, but the Jets do have plenty of talent offensively that could allow Rodgers to dip into his MVP-caliber level of play, even at 39 years old.
But Klecko sees a better option for the Jets in free agent Derek Carr.
“A guy like Carr, he was an All-Pro. He hasn’t been an MVP but he’s had some great years,” he said. “But I can’t see them going after a guy who has had all his years and had his way and when it doesn’t turn out his way he goes dark? I can’t see it.”
