Rodgers, Brady and Wilson struggles cause fans to think retirement is nearby

It takes a lot of hard work to become a successful NFL quarterback. Hours of film study, workouts, and body recovery consume the calendar year. Completing training is beneficial for athletes but does not guarantee success for the upcoming season.

Veteran quarterbacks understand what is expected during the regular season. Their experience places them in positions of leadership – guiding teammates to the next phases of their careers. Success on the gridiron raises the odds for championship contention but has been hard to find for Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, and Russell Wilson this season.

Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, and Russell Wilson embraced new challenges that will add to their legacies

Roster reshuffles convinced analysts that this season would add to the legacies of the league’s best gunslingers. A blockbuster trade between the Seahawks and Broncos gave Wilson a different setting for his newest chapter. In Green Bay, Aaron Rodgers prepared to part ways with Davante Adams – his favorite target on Sundays. While Rodgers and Wilson adjusted to their surroundings, TB12 decided to unhang his cleats – rejoining the Bucs after he announced his retirement.

New challenges were presented to each quarterback – most looked achievable. Building chemistry with their new weapons was a top priority. Without Adams in the lineup, the Packers were forced put their faith in rookie receivers.

In Denver, Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton prepared to work. Videos of their practice sessions with their new quarterback looked promising on social media and grew the appetites of anxious fans.

Meanwhile in Tampa, a trio of veteran receivers welcomes Brady back to the gridiron. Julio Jones, Mike Evans, and Chris Godwin appeared to be the best receiving core No.12 has had in his career. Anticipation for another year behind Brady encouraged fans to believe Brady would uphold his standard of excellence for an additional season.

Tom Brady, Russell Wilson, and Aaron Rodgers’ struggles are affecting their franchise’s position in the standings.

Adjusting to new settings has been difficult. Issues on the field, on the sidelines, and in the locker, room are more apparent than ever – leaving spectators to wonder if the legends hang up their cleats for good.

The Buccaneers, Packers, and Broncos combine for an 8-14 record – making it hard for fans to support their seasoned quarterbacks under center. Brady (11) and Rodgers (8) are ranked in the top tier of passer ratings– leaving room for Wilson (25) to catch up. Five touchdowns to three interceptions weigh heavy on his ranking – a direct reflection of his plight this season.

Expectations remain high for the best quarterbacks, and it is up to them to change the narrative of this season. Tampa Bay (3-5), Denver(2-5), and Green Bay (3-4) have experienced consecutive losses – diminishing their odds of becoming a contender for the Vince Lombardi trophy. After years of dominating, could the most experienced QBs miss the playoff this season?

Finishing the season strong will benefit Russell Wilson, Tom Brady, and Aaron Rodgers tremendously. Positive responses to adversity will add more to each legacy – while positioning their team to make a surprising playoff appearance.
