Part 2/6:
Quinton, a key player for the Jets, visibly struggles with the mental toll of previous seasons. Experts note that he is one of the team's prominent leaders, yet the shadows of past quarterbacks—namely Sam Darnold and Zach Wilson—have left him feeling broken. This sentiment is amplified by Quinton's experience with the various struggles throughout the Jets' quarterback carousel, making the prospect of moving on from Aaron Rodgers particularly jarring.
Rodgers had been viewed as a potential savior for the organization, and his departure has raised questions about how the team moves forward. Many express disbelief that a franchise would abandon a quarterback who, despite being in the twilight of his career, still represented hope for an improved offense.
