The Aaron Rodgers era with the Jets is not over yet.

While it appears more and more likely that the team will move on from the quarterback in the offseason, interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said Rodgers will be the starting quarterback this week when the Jets play the Dolphins in South Florida.

“We have great belief in Aaron. We really do,” Ulbrich said Monday morning. “We think he gives us the best opportunity to win.”

Rodgers went 21 of 39 for 185 yards with two touchdown pᴀsses in Sunday’s 26-21 loss to the Seahawks, but he also threw a costly pick-six to Seattle defensive lineman Leonard Williams in the red zone that flipped the momentum in the game.

Rodgers and the offense had a chance in the fourth quarter to mount a game-winning drive but fell short and the Jets lost their third straight game and eighth in nine games. The Jets are 3-9 and will miss the playoffs for the 14th straight season.

After Sunday’s loss, Ulbrich left the door open slightly that Rodgers might be benched in favor of backup Tyrod Taylor when he was asked if he would consider a change and said, “Not as of today.”

But Ulbrich shut down that talk Monday, which also happened to be Rodgers’ 41st birthday.

“After ᴀssessing yesterday’s game, I thought there were moments in the first half where you saw Aaron Rodgers,” Ulbrich said. “I thought there were moments even in the second half where you saw Aaron Rodgers. Then, there were moments that he didn’t play to his standard and he’d tell you the same. We believe that he gives us the best opportunity to win, so he’s our quarterback.”

Rodgers’ statistics are not terrible and they may end up being one of the best seasons for a Jets quarterback in recent history, but he has not looked like the Rodgers who starred in Green Bay and the losses have mounted. Rodgers has thrown for 2,2627 yards, 19 touchdowns and eight interceptions. He has looked unable or afraid to throw the ball downfield and his 6.3 yards per pᴀss attempt is the lowest in his career.

Rodgers dealt with hamstring, knee and ankle injuries in October, but he was off the injury report last week for the first time since Week 4. Ulbrich said he believes that injuries have hindered Rodgers this season.

“Obviously, I think injury has a lot to do with what his numbers are this season,” Ulbrich said. “He’s battled through a lot of things regardless of your age. What he’s had is something some guys in this league might not play with. He’s a tough guy and he feels a high level of accountability to his teammates. That’s why he’s out there every week for us. We believe as he gets healthier and his mobility starts to improve, you’re going to see a better and better version of him.”

When asked if the decision to stick with Rodgers is a week-to-week decision or the plan is for Rodgers to start the final five games, he was not clear, saying: “He’s our quarterback.”

Ulbrich declined to reveal whether owner Woody Johnson was consulted about the decision to stick with Rodgers. Ulbrich said Rodgers’ pedigree factored into the decision.

“That’s part of every conversation regarding Aaron,” Ulbrich said. “He’s done amazing things. He’s done legendary things. Hall of Fame things in this league. That’s always part of the conversation.”

The Jets believed a healthy Rodgers teamed up with their defense would result in a playoff run this season. It hasn’t happened. His teammates said Monday that they still believe in him.

“We still have all the confidence in Aaron,” linebacker Jamien Sherwood said. “I’ll never stop believing he’s one of the best players out there. We’ve got to do our jobs to help him be better as well. It’s a team effort. You can’t just put the blame on one person even though people might wa
