Aaron Rodgers’ first season with the New York Jets ended very quickly. He played in just four snaps before departing with a ruptured Achilles. It’s a big disappointment for the team and the fans who were excited to see him play.
Even though coach Robert Saleh felt concerned at first, he’s now focused on encouraging his team and saying that Zach Wilson is the leader. This might make some people worry about how well the Jets will do. But Saleh thinks that even though Aaron Rodgers can’t play due to his injury, he can still help the team in a big way by talking about his interesting ideas, like conspiracy theories.
“Oh, heck yeah. His presence alone, his voice, his words – shoot, his stories, his conspiracy theories, all of this is good, you know? He’s an unbelievable human being, he’s got such thoughtful insights, he’s a pleasure to be around. His presence is not only welcomed, but wanted” : Said Robert Saleh

Saleh’s wish for Rodgers to be present at the facility while rehabbing has raised eyebrows and sparked curiosity about the nature of the theories Rodgers might be sharing. Gone are the days of vaccine-related conspiracy chatter; it seems Rodgers has a more eclectic repertoire. Given that he now plays for a New York team, discussions about 9/11 may be off the table. However, one can only imagine the depths of his conspiracy theory knowledge, as he’s known for his diverse interests.
While the injury to Rodgers is undeniably tragic for the Jets, there’s an element of humor in picturing young quarterback Zach Wilson seeking guidance on pre-snap reads and receiving a lecture on CIA activities in South America during the 70s instead. It’s like mixing football with strange ideas, which makes the Jets’ season different and kind of interesting.
