Aaron Rodgers is a fan

If there is one big complaint about McAdoo it’s was his handling of Manning in his last year as the Giants’ head coach. He broke the veterans’ streak of 210 consecutive starts in search of a spark offensively as the team was hit with multiple injuries, suspensions, and controversies in general.

However, the Jags won’t have to worry about McAdoo making any decisions in Jacksonville and he’ll be able to focus on being an assistant where he’s flourished at. In fact, Rodgers, a former two-time league MVP, endorsed him upon getting a job with the Giants, praising his ability to communicate with quarterbacks.

“I said ultimately I need and have always needed a guy who gets me prepared every week and can give me the opportunities to reach my potential,” Rodgers said of McAdoo. “And Ben did that every day the last two seasons for me and the other quarterbacks in the room. It was fun to see his personality even continue to come out this year as we became closer and as he just allowed himself to relax and be comfortable in those rooms.”

Gardner Minshew II praised the job that former quarterbacks coach Scott Milanovich did with him, so it’s a good chance he’ll mesh well with a coach like McAdoo if he’s truly the type of coach Rodgers says. The same applies to veteran Nick Foles if he is named the team’s starter.
