“Aaron Rodgers could be a little bit toxic”: ESPN Radio host Chris Canty thinks Aaron Rodgers is the problem for the New York Jets

ESPN Radio host Chris Canty believes that the polarizing quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, is the problem for the New York Jets. Canty believes Rodgers is worse than a problem, and the Jets quarterback is a "cancer," which may be the most disparaging assessment of a player in their locker room. Canty discusses this on ESPN Radio's Unsportsmanlike with co-hosts Evan Cohen and Michelle Smallmon.

Chris Canty compared Aaron Rodgers to a cancer spreading through the Jets organization

Aaron Rodgers' situation with the New York Jets is not improving, as he has only won two games since being named the franchise's savior. His season-ending injury four plays into the season is considered rotten luck, but this year's situation is different. Chris Canty, a pundit who has been saying similar things after each Jets loss, compared the quarterback to a cancer spreading through the Jets organization on Unsportsmanlike Radio.

"The last couple of years in Green Bay, we suspected that Aaron Rodgers could be a little bit toxic, especially with a young team," Canty said. "I had no idea that it would be this bad. This guy is like a cancer that has metastasized within the New York Jets organization and I don't know how they fix it.”

Canty's metaphor is both apt and extreme, but the Jets have invited in all this, and they should not be surprised by Rodgers' assertive control. They should put their eggs in his basket, even if it's not working out right now, as there's no other option, as there was a healthy, robust culture before Rodgers came over. The Jets must play meaningful post-holiday football in just 10 games to turn things around and change the Rodgers segments, resulting in more glowing comparisons.

Rodgers, the four-time NFL MVP, was supposed to be the Jets' savior, but instead, he has contributed to the franchise's negativity. His polarizing appearances on The Pat McAfee Show and his physical appearance, resembling an old Aaron Rodgers, have been criticized. The Jets have been blamed for their struggles, and it may be time for Rodgers to be blamed as well.
