Charlie Batch, former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback, is predicting a huge season for Aaron Rodgers in 2026. Rodgers, who re-signed with the New York Jets this offseason, will reunite with head coach Mike McCarthy — the same coach with whom he won a Super Bowl in Green Bay.
Batch told TMZ Sports that Rodgers's deep familiarity with McCarthy's scheme will pay immediate dividends. "He has a PhD in this offense," Batch said, noting that Rodgers won two of his four MVP awards under McCarthy. Batch dismissed concerns about Rodgers needing time to gel with teammates, emphasizing that the veteran quarterback already knows the system inside and out.
The Jets, led by the 42-year-old Rodgers, are expected to be serious contenders for the Lombardi Trophy. Batch says the goal is clear: win a championship.
