they almost overstated his ability.

I remember Justin Jefferson during camp, it's almost like he slipped and went off script instead of being like, he's the guy, he's awesome out there.

Because remember, they just kept saying how good he was in practice.

He was like, I mean, it's a work in progress.

It's going to take time.

He's still really young.

And I was like, finally, someone's saying the truth.

So, look, I think they learned a lot about J.J.

McCarthy in the offseason and then how to make a decision as a team.

All right, we let Sam go.

We let Daniel Jones go.

And when I say we let them go, other teams obviously came in and paid them more money.

And they didn't want to invest that much.

And they believed in J.J.

The Aaron Rodgers thought was, can maybe Aaron Rodgers come in and help J.J.

McCarthy develop as well as a quarterback?

Because

Aaron, as you've seen now in the final years of his career, I think he's done a really good job with his teammates of being a bit of the mentor.

So I think that was the thought.

And then they pulled the plug on that.
