Shannon Sharpe launched a savage attack on Aaron Rodgers after the Jets’ season went from bad to worse.
New York fell to 2-6 after Sunday’s humiliating loss to the Patriots, which leaves Rodgers and company in last place in the AFC East.
The 40-year-old has failed to revive the Jets’ fortunes, even though the team fired head coach Robert Saleh and brought in Rodgers’ trusted ally, receiver Davante Adams.
Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich also removed play-calling duties from offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett in an attempt to turn around the Jets’ season. But New York is 0-3 under the new regime.
Quarterback Rodgers has come under fire in recent weeks, especially for his lucrative appearances on The Pat McAfee Show while his team struggles on the field.

“It couldn’t happen to a more cocky, arrogant, condescending guy,” Sharpe said.
‘Who else are you going to blame? You’re running out of people to fire and demote. You fired Robert Saleh, are you going to fire (Jeff) Ulbrich, the interim coach, now?
—You demoted Hackett. What are you going to do, demote the new offensive coordinator? Who else are you going to change for? Who else are you bringing?
The Jets will look to end a five-game losing streak when they face the Texans on Thursday.
