Justin Fields makes sense for the Jets. The NY Jets have been searching for an answer to their quarterback question for what feels like — and largely has been — decades now.

It's really as simple as this. There are tons of different qualities you can look for in a leader and a head coach. This isn't a one-size-fits-all business. Every organization needs something different depending on its context. Some great coaches may not fit certain franchises because it isn't what they need at the time. With all that being said, the current NY Jets need a very specific trait in their next head coach. A good "X's and O's" guy won't cut it.

Rodgers' quote shows that the Jets don't want him back. By Derek Praschak | Dec 6, 2024Say what you want about Aaron Rodgers, but throughout the seven-car pile-up that was the NY Jets car crash of a season, he has not lost his sense of humor. He's still able to laugh despite the organization's infrastructure burning down around him. On Wednesday, Aaron Rodgers was asked about whether anyone internally has expressed interest in bringing him back.

It's been 14 long years since the NY Jets have last appeared in a playoff game. That's 13 seasons, to be exact, and pretty soon it will be 14. It is currently the longest-running playoff drought in North American professional sports. It was January 23, 2011, when the Jets lost to the Steelers in Pittsburgh in the AFC Championship Game. This ended their 2010 season along with their second Mark Sanchez/Rex Ryan-led Cinderella run.

These are sad times in NY Jets land, but that doesn't mean we can't look back on slightly happier times. This past Sunday was the 22-year anniversary of one of the more memorable and comical Jets moments of the 21st century. Chad Pennington, the 18th selection in the 2000 NFL Draft, was always a solid QB. He didn't have the world's strongest arm, but boy could he thread the needle. His accuracy was elite — his running ability was not.

The season is over. It's over in November. This isn't new for the NY Jets, but it's still incredibly disappointing. This was a team with legitimate Super Bowl aspirations. It did not turn out that way. Head coach Robert Saleh was fired after a 2-3 start, and the franchise has melted down since. Now that we know Aaron Rodgers is likely gone, Jeff Ulbrich is likely gone, and Joe Douglas is likely gone, this offseason is the biggest for the franchise in years. It all starts with the 2025 NFL Draft.

The NY Jets brought in Davante Adams to make a real playoff push this season, but if that doesn't happen, the trade can still be a net positive for the Jets in the long term. It appears that his veteran leadership is already taking effect within the locker room, especially for the young Garrett Wilson. Ever since Adams joined the embattled 2024 Jets, he has made it perfectly clear that he intends to be a vocal leader in the locker room.

The NY Jets' loss to the New England Patriots represents the end of an era. The end to a very unique, baffling, surprising, unexpected, short, and ultimately sad era. The Jets, a franchise utterly desperate for a taste of success in any capacity, brought in one of the single greatest players to ever grace the gridiron. They surrounded him with all of his friends and as much young talent as you can possibly dream of.

Amidst all the internal drama, the NY Jets have a game to play Monday night. And it is one of the biggest games they will have all season. The Jets host the division rival Buffalo Bills, who are currently the only team in the division ahead of them. Following the firing of Robert Saleh, the subsequent promotion of new interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich, and the demotion of Nathaniel Hacket, it will be interesting to see just what the on-field product will be.
