Woody Johnson suggested benching Rodgers in September

[julian]

As much as I like to laugh at these ridiculous owners meddling in football operations and dooming their teams, I 100% know for a fact if I were an owner I’d name myself president, GM and HC

I dunno what I'd do. Anybody wanna spot me 7 billion so I can find out? For science!

 

Maybe they should run the Sabres by fan committee. They'd be hard pressed to be worse.

Venmo or Paypal?

[QB Bills]

He's not wrong. With that team, they're better off with Tyrod

[Big Turk]

How anyone thinks working for that guy is a good career move I will never know.

It compensates well.

Mrs. Pegula would love to help you enjoy Sabres hockey but she’s kind of busy recovering from a life altering event. One team at a time grasshopper. 

 

Oh did I touch one of Mrs. Fergy's nerves and injure you by proxy?   The unqualified architect of the current Sabres team was hired years before the life altering event to the wife of the hands-on owner of the Sabres.  He's working on his 5th straight playoff miss out of what will likely be 14 straight.   Try to keep up with the other team in Buffalo before you go off the rails with irrelevant and inappropriate jagoffery.

Woody should have pulled a Ralph and told Saleh he had to start Rob Johnson.

[GunnerBill]

Benching him wouldn't have helped. The problem with Aaron hasn't been his throwing the ball. It is everything else. It is the poison that seeps out of every pore of the man. The toxic, corrosive, self-absorbed attitude. Once they brought that into their locker room for a 40 year old past his prime, they were dead. 

 

I think Douglas and Saleh were, two years ago, a Quarterback away from being the men that made the Jets relevant again. I know this sounds mad... they'd have been better trading for Derek Carr. Because all that young team needed was competent Quarterbacking and Carr, while limited, would have given them competent play without disrupting the chemistry of that young group in the locker room. Instead they sacrificed all the culture they had built to pander to the ego of a poisonous individual. 

 

When the story of Aaron Rodgers career is written in years to come it will be the story of one of the most incredible Quarterbacking talents to ever play the game whose biggest rivalry was with his own personality. And sadly the Quarterback lost to the person too many times.

[shane nelson]

And to think the other team playing at MetLife is in even worse shape 

[thenorthremembers]

The team needs to be gutted.   Douglas and Saleh should have been gone when Zach Wilson failed.  They should have never thought a 40 year old quarterback would get them anywhere. 

 

It's almost like the owner of the team has never watched the NFL before.  The only way for sustained success is to hit on a young QB in the Draft and build around him.  Douglas was good at collecting talent and horrible at building a team.  Saleh was too cocky for having won absolutely nothing.

 

Call Rodgers anything you want but at the end of the day he still has a ring and will get the gold jacket.  The people in that organization were just too stupid to realize that Aaron didn't earn those things himself.    Football isn't basketball.  You need all levels of an organization being great to win.

This sounds like the sort of piece the owner commissions from... sympathetic...writers so that he looks less like a imbecile.

The main person who didn't and still doesn't realise that is Aaron Rodgers.

Ironically, woody Johnson was right.  Hasn’t Rodgers been old and terrible?

He’s been below average to say the least. He can still make some really impressive throws but it’s so few and far between he’s not really effective. 
 

He looks old, frail and he can’t move. I’m surprised he’s played every game honestly

Not Saleh who was still the coach, not the GM, the owner wanted Aaron benched. The coaching staff and the entire front office had to talk him out of it. 

 

Yeah. Jets gonna problem. 

 

Is this the Jets owner?
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

I dont disagree with that.  However, he doesnt control his employment status.

I mean, that's what he thought he was getting with Saleh and Douglas.   Football people from winning programs who had earned the opportunity.

 

It's not like he just continually hired the clowns and washouts that Terry Pegula hired in hockey in their mutual quest with the NY Jets to never again make their respective playoffs.
