Another season died an unceremonious death for the Jets on Sunday, and with it a compelling argument that the ill-fated Aaron Rodgers Era should end without the New York legacy he came to establish.

And if he does decide to continue playing, why would he want to come back to this?

He was naive about what awaited him, had no inkling about the franchise that buries quarterbacks, even future first-ballot Hall of Fame quarterbacks, and head coaches.

So there was Rodgers after Colts 28, Jets 27, so disappointed and frustrated that he could not spare interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich from a pair of backbreaking decisions.
