Shannon Sharpe rips Aaron Rodgers after Jets latest loss: 'Smug, cavalier, condescending guy'
Chris Broussard explains why Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets are finished after dropping to 2-6.
The New York Jets' disappointing season reached a new low this past weekend.
The Jets suffered a 25-22 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 8. Aaron Rodgers finished the game with 233 passing yards and two touchdowns, but he has largely fallen short of expectations since he joined the Jets.
The four-time NFL MVP suffered a season-ending injury in the first game of last season. However, the Jets entered the 2024 season with a roster many believed was strong enough to contend for the playoffs. During Monday's edition of ESPN's "First Take," Pro Football Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe took aim at Rodgers, describing the quarterback as a "smug" and "condescending guy."

"Let’s make it the trifecta because it couldn’t happen to a more smug, cavalier, condescending guy," Sharpe said.
Sharpe then placed the blame for the Jets issues squarely on the shoulders of Rodgers.
"… Now, who else are you going to blame it on? You running out of people to fire and demote. You fired [now-ex-coach] Robert Saleh, you going to fire [Jeff] Ulrbich now, the interim head coach? You’ve demoted [offensive coordinator Nathaniel] Hackett, what are you going to do? Demote the new offensive coordinator? Who else you gonna trade for? Who else you gonna bring in?"
