I started to watch Monday night NFL football with the NY Jets VS the Buffalo Bills.

With all the preseason Hype of Aaron Rodgers leaving the Green Bay Packers to join the NY Jets to somehow make them a preseason Superbowl contender, and he plays four downs and goes out with an injury to his ankle leaving the fans a record sellout crowd and team deflated and morally defeated. I had to quit watching the game as the backup to Rodgers looked terrible.

This is what happens when a star dinosaur quarterback is hired for millions after their home team finds some younger cheaper talent with durability, and you hang your whole season on an elderly dinosaur. Christ sake develop the talent you have already, recruit better in the draft, hire a quarterback coach that will make your so so guy a star. But Nooooooo, hang your hopes on a dinosaur. Hey, Jet's fans and ownership I hear Tom Brady is out of work right now!

Okay my rant and disappointment of hoping to see a well-played good football game is over.

Let me say DragonFruit pointed out to me that the Jet's came back and tied the game up in the second half, so I turned the game back on and watched the Jet's win in overtime, so Jet's fans please accept my congratulations and forgive my half time rant.

Still feel the same now knowing it was a possible season ending injury?

@martyjay Yes, I still feel the same, I had to many injuries and got old in my job, and I was forced to retire. I see no reason a team hangs its entire season on hiring an elderly player that has had more and more injuries in his career leading to his last team letting him go. Not everyone gets as lucky as Tom Brady and even the Mannings knew when it was time to retire.

Now the injury he sustained I wish on no one in the league gets, but it is a violent sport. And the injury has no impact on how I feel about hiring a non-durable dinosaur that his previous team replaced thinking it will get them to a Superbowl. I stand by my conviction of drafting young talent and investing in coaches to build and to develop that talent.

And teams like the Bengals need to draft an offensive line to protect their quarterback before he gets beat up and used up before he is retired from injuries.

And again, the injury I do not wish on a single player.
