The preseason and training camp were closely followed, especially with the spotlight from Hard Knocks showcasing behind-the-scenes actions at the Jets facility. However, the pertinent question remains: Has the perception of the New York team shifted post-preseason compared to earlier summer sentiments?

The consensus? Not really, and for a valid reason. Aaron Rodgers has always been expected to excel as a quarterback, and his addition to the team has only amplified the soaring expectations in the Big Apple. Punters might wonder about the team’s total with such a significant acquisition – perhaps 12.5? But the fact that they only needed a quarterback of Rodgers’s caliber underscores the impending challenges of the Jets’ schedule this season.

It presents a two-fold scenario: If the Jets bag 11 or 12 victories, they would undoubtedly be the team to watch out for in the playoffs. Conversely, even if their record hovers around 10-7, qualifying them for a wild card, they remain formidable playoff contenders. Even a single game could alter the playoff dynamics with Rodgers in the mix.

For the Jets, the objectives are clear. With Rodgers onboard, the aim isn’t just playoff qualification. It’s a spirited chase for the Super Bowl. And given the current state of affairs, such high aspirations aren’t just dreams—they’re the expectations.
