Today, the Jets report to training camp.
It is the first time in a dozen years that the team will begin a season with championship-level expectations. It is the first time since a four-year stretch from 2008 to 2011 — beginning with Brett Favre’s arrival — that no dream is too big.
Aaron Rodgers’ presence invites it. It is unavoidable when discussing a four-time MVP and former Super Bowl champion, who steered his way to New York after 18 seasons in Green Bay, who believes he is the final piece needed to end the NFL’s longest playoff drought (2010) and bring the franchise its first Super Bowl in more than five decades.
Favre felt the same when he joined the Jets after Rodgers took his job. He initially made magic, leading the Jets to an 8-3 record, but ultimately failed to reach the postseason in his lone season with the team.
