Jets fans have waited decades for the “next Joe Namath” — as if anyone could ever fill those big shoes.
Now that they have traded for the Packers’ Aaron Rodgers, could he finally be the quarterback who leads them back to the Super Bowl?
Maybe so. But he won’t wear Namath’s retired No. 12, according to ESPN.
Namath gave Rogers permission to wear the number, which Rodgers wore in Green Bay. But Rodgers is going to wear No. 8, which is what he wore in college at Cal.
