Joe Namus knows better than anyone what Aaron Rodgers brought to the Jets…54 years after Super Bowl III…Namus puts his finger in the air on Cloud Nine at Orange Bowl Field in Miami Busts in the ring and canton finally await him.
“It gives us a legitimate shot,” an excited Namas told The Post.
“He gives them a legitimate chance of making the playoffs and even better than the first two rounds.
“He’s making them Super Bowl contenders. I honestly believe that.”
Joe Namath then started talking about Aaron Rodgers like the NFL always talks about Joe Namath.
Asked him what caught his eye about Rogers, Broadway Joe said:
“His passing ability is No. 1. No. 2, I don’t know what’s going on in his head, but whenever we look at him, we see him confused. He always seems to know where he’s going, he can vary the speed of the ball, he can make tight passes, whether he’s running left or right or in his pocket. , change the speed of the path and know the trajectory.
“He’s great.
“Who said he was inducted into the Hall of Fame on the first ballot today?”
Only everyone.
Lights, camera… Aaron.
Star Town welcomed the biggest star the Jets have called their own since Broadway Joe himself.

“While walking around this morning, I noticed that the Super Bowl III trophy looked a little lonely,” Rodgers said with a smile.
Referring to the word legacy, Rodgers spoke of playing for a hungry city and die-hard Jets fans, a team he believed in, and his love for offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett. It sounded like as long as you were healthy, you would enjoy playing and inspire others.
“I’m not here to be a savior,” he said.
Oh yes.
“I’m fine with that perception. I’m fine with it. I know I’m expected to play great,” Rodgers said.
Don’t do one-offs in New York like Brett Favre did in 2008.
“They’ve definitely given up some picks for me to be here,” Rogers said.
Of course, that could all change. But the Jets are optimistic and Rogers will see the light without the necessity or urgency of a dark retreat.
