Aaron Rodgers is one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history.
However, the 40-year-old is coming off a significant injury and is currently playing for a New York Jets franchise that has been unable to make the NFL playoffs since 2011.
On Monday evening, the Jets had a tough showing when they lost to the San Francisco 49ers by a score of 32-19 (in California).
Via New York Daily News: "Monday night marked the return of Aaron Rodgers, who tore his Achilles nearly a year ago during his Jets debut.
It was not a Hollywood return for Rodgers as the 49ers rolled past the Jets, 32-19."

Following the game, NBA legend Paul Pierce spoke about Rodgers (via FS1's Speak).
Pierce: "Aaron concerns me. He just does. Forty years old and an Achilles injury... And a guy, I'm not sure how heavily invested he's really into the team... Unexcused absences and we're talking about winning a Super Bowl?"
The Jets had a rough start last night against the 49ers but will they get better? Somebody at the desk believes so BUT someone else believes they don't have a winning culture. Find out who! 👀 pic.twitter.com/jag5jD1vg2
