First, let’s address the one positive development: Aaron Rodgers played the first game of his sophomore season in a Jets uniform without creating a massive sinkhole on the field in Santa Clara, California, that swallowed the quarterback whole.

Rodgers said last week that he “expects greatness” when he steps onto the field. Jets fans expect nothing less than the return of the bubonic plague — and given what happened on the fourth play of last season, that’s perfectly understandable. Rodgers tore his Achilles tendon on this same stage a year ago Monday night, ruining what should have been the year before it even started.
