Doug Gottlieb: "No matter how well-made a car is, you get a hundred thousand miles on a gas engine, things are going to start to go - that's what happened with my car. We've become so accepting of a new reality that you can play into your 40's that you don't realize it's really hard. It takes a very unique player. Tom Brady played into his 40's, but athleticism was never his thing. Kirk Cousins is not in his 40's, but he's coming off the same injury as Aaron Rodgers - he's not as old and athleticism was never his thing. Athleticism was Aaron Rodgers' thing. I don't know if it's a movement thing, a timing thing... and then you know what happens is you start overcompensating. And then there's the confidence element of it, and other people's confidence in you. What a disastrous trip to London for Aaron Rodgers and the Jets. When Aaron Rodgers doesn't get all his reps, this is what it looks like. When you have an older quarterback, this is what it looks like."
Doug Gottlieb reacts to Aaron Rodgers' poor performance in the Jets loss to the Vikings in Week 5. Doug explains why Jets fans may need to get used to these sorts of struggles being a new normal for Aaron Rodgers.
