Rodgers is 41 years old, so it's fine that Glenn wants to start fresh. Would be much different if Rodgers were 31.
If that is the Mideast of the coach we hired, then we hired the wrong guy. There’s t a coach in the nfl that doesn’t believe they can’t win or they wouldn’t be in the nfl. Planning on a first year scapegoat is a joke.
Agreed if Glenn doesn't want Rodgers back then I would already start to question if he is here to win games or not or is looking to buy time. With that said I think Rodgers comes back
No, we finished 20th. You are talking about yards, which no one gives a shit about. Points is what matters, when the teams needed to score against us, they did. and we finished #20. On offense we finished #24. So, not great on either side, but offense was worse than defense, that is true.
Rodgers and the Jets offense lacked structure. It lacked creativity. It lacked good play calling. By the second half of the year, it basically became street ball with Rodgers and his best pal Davante. They were talented enough to make it work and even win a couple games against Jacksonville and Miami, but overall it was not up to NFL standards. In many ways, after the Colts loss, I did not feel like I was watching an actual NFL team each week. Can a new OC and Glenn fix that? Yes, but I can’t see Rodgers agreeing to it.
If they do bring The Legend back, they better hire an OC that doesn't mind being overruled by having his playcalls changed at the LoS. Rodgers learning a new system and playing within it? I doubt it. That Dog is waay too old to learn new tricks. It would be a tragedy if we get the Rodgers show on offense again in '25. All the goodwill the Organization built over the offseason will get flushed. The Circus will return for an encore..
You dont bring him back. Look at this from ESPN this morning, buried in an article about Sam Darnold: "While Rodgers' 2025 cap hit might look small at $23.5 million, a whopping $63 million in dead cap money accelerates onto the 2026 balance sheet when Rodgers' deal expires after 2025. It would cost the Jets over $90 million to keep Rodgers next season, whereas cutting him before the 2025 season would cost them only $49 million overall." $90 Million?! it would be stupid to bring him back. 2025 NFL offseason: QB market dominoes for Sam Darnold, more - ESPN
Rodgers compared to the rest of the NFL: 8th in passing yards, 7th in INT%. Fitz was 15th in yards and 11th in INT%. Fitzpatrick had one fluky good year and collapsed when it mattered most. Plus he had a 6 pick game in 2016, while Rodgers had 11 total in a down year. There isn't a better option. I don't see Rodgers getting worse with more chemistry and time removed from the injury. Darnold isn't coming here, Cousins is a shell of his former self. The only real option is to gamble on a young QB with potential, but wouldn't you rather have that guy learn under a seasoned vet? Rage baiting is LOLJets for clicks. They bait the rage of the fans with unsubstantiated rumors to drive up their ratings. It's been happening for decades. With Rodgers, it is a double whammy because so many already hate him, so in this case it goes beyond just Jets fans. They milked it this year, but can't blame them for wanting more money.
What's interesting is Glenn (a DB) will be a damn good judge of Sauce. If they want to sign him to an extension, that's a great sign imo as the player/person.
Not sure who wrote this but its incorrect. The 90 million is only if we bring him back in 2026. If we release him after next season it will be 35 million dead cap. Releasing him this offseason will save about 11 million in 2026, but cost us another 25 million this year. You don't bring him back because he is a destabilizing force and we don't need a destabilizing force with an entirely new staff.
Still less risky/cheaper then running it with Taylor in 2025, and then a rookie in 2026, a sophmore in 2027 before finding out if Glenn is a competent head coach or not. Do we really want to do the Saleh 4-year script all over again when we can find out in year one what Glenn is? Id rather not have excuses for Glenn like Saleh had for years. Lets see what Glenn is in 2025. If he cant coach then the leash is shorter and we can move on sooner. Id rather find out in 2025 that Glenn cant coach rather find out in 2027 or 2028 he cant. Throwing away 3-4 years would be a nightmare.
Again, your argument makes no sense to me. If they bring Rodgers back, it would mean it’s Rodgers’ offense, with Rodgers’ plays, and Rodgers forcing it to Devante Adams all game. That’s not finding out if Glenn can coach at all
Rodgers production was the best the Jets have seen outside of Fitzpatrick in the last 15 years If Glenn cant win more than 8 or 9 games with that then we know hes not it and we can look to move on sooner. Why would we play the Saleh script all over again and give a coach multiple years of throwaway years when we can find out in year one? The costlier option is giving him free years like we did with Saleh and wait until 2027 or 2028 to figure he cant coach. We CANNOT do that again. Lets find out in 2025. We didnt hire Mccarthy or Carrol, we hired someone who we have no idea can coach. Priority number one for this franchise now should be to find out if he can or not.
it seems like you had this response ready no matter what someone reponded with because it doesn’t address anything I said following the Saleh script would be literally letting Rodgers handpick the gameplan and play calls. We saw how that worked out. A change would be trying something different
Statistically cause of two garbage games (Jax and Mia) they ranked a little higher than a Jets offense from 10 years ago. So what. That doesn’t mean it was good shit did you watch the Jets this year? They had trouble getting the freakin snap off let alone putting points on the board
No the Saleh script is hiring a defensive coordinator and handing him a backup QB and have little expectations and then that is the excuse for 3-4 years as we slowly find out he is just not a good coach. Id prefer to hand him the best QB play this team has seen in 10 years and find out in year one if he can coach under pressure and win games with expectations. Im not waiting until 2028 to find out he is Saleh 2.0 Why would anyone want that after just experiencing it? (Hence why Carrol or McCarthy should have been hire but same old Jets).
2020: Darnold 9 TD / 11 INT 2021: Wilson 9 TD / 11 INT 2022: Wilson 6 TD / 7 INT 2023: Wilson 8 TD / 11 INT 2024: Rodgers 28 TD / 11 INT
