Aaron Rodgers' first full season as the New York Jets quarterback is drawing to a close, and it's safe to say it hasn't gone as planned. Following a recent loss to the Los Angeles Rams, where Rodgers managed 256 passing yards and a single touchdown, former Jets linebacker Bart Scott openly criticized Rodgers' performance, particularly his focus on reaching the 500 touchdown pass milestone.

Scott took issue with a lengthy Jets drive that yielded no points, attributing it to Rodgers' pursuit of this personal achievement. He deemed this focus on "sentimental records" and choosing who receives the touchdown pass "despicable." Former Jets offensive lineman Willie Colon echoed Scott's sentiments.

Rodgers himself acknowledged the team's disappointing 4-11 record and elimination from playoff contention. He expressed a shift in focus from maintaining positivity to emphasizing perspective and the importance of professionalism in the remaining games. Rodgers stressed the need for players to demonstrate their commitment and prepare effectively, highlighting that these final weeks will be crucial in shaping the team's future.

He stated that these final games will reveal "who's on board moving forward and who is ready to get out," emphasizing the importance of practice habits and preparation as indicators of commitment. Rodgers also acknowledged the scrutiny the team is under, recognizing that "everybody’s watching" and that these final performances will influence future opportunities within the league.

The quarterback's comments underscore the challenging situation the Jets face as the season concludes, raising questions about the team's direction and Rodgers' role within it.
