“A consummate professional”? Holy mother of stupid. Homer Simpson is about the level of professional Aaron Rodgers is. Arod happens to have elite athletic skills. Which have been deteriorating for years.

I've been looking at Detroit this year, and they regressed quite a bit. A lot of talk how they turned things around, etc, but they made play-offs twice in 5 years with Campbell. And they did win the division and went once to conference finals, while losing right away the other time, so it's good of course, I will take it for the Jets, but still, is this the best example of a successful franchise that now should be replicated by everyone? Maybe, but I wanted to look at the numbers a little from last year. Offense 2024. Points 1st (by a wide margin). Yards: 2nd. Offense 2025. Points 4th. Yards: 6th. Defense 2024. Points: 7th. Yards: 20th Defense 2025. Points: 23d. Yards: 19th Detroit always won with their offense, we know that. And even last year in play-offs they scored a lot, but conceded 45 and lost. And on offense it is easy to see, they basically went from clear #1 offense to #5. Still very good, but maybe not good enough to win with just offense any longer. On defense the picture is a little muddied. They dropped from 7th to 23d in points, which is massive. But they are actually slightly better ranked yards. The difference is TOs. Last year they got some TOs. This year not so much. Is it because Glenn left and now they cannot take the ball away. I highly doubt it, given that Glenn is here and we are the worst in the League in that category. If you look at Glenn's entire tenure in Detroit, all 4 years, in both points and yards he is ranked pretty low, with the lone exception being last season in points, where he is #7. He is in 20s or 30th for both points and yards every time aside from that #7 last year in points. I think we have more evidence now to conclude that #7 may have been an aberration. The most logical explanation is that Detroit got more fortunate in takeaways in that specific year, which impacted the points number but not so much the yards conceded. This year Detroit got less fortunate with takeaways and also downgraded its bread and butter: offense, which explains the decline. If you look now at Glenn's body of work including the Jets and even Detroit's body of work, I think it is fair to conclude that Glenn is a below average/bottom 3d when it comes to defense. He is clueless on offense as well, we are at the bottom there too. We don't have a QB, but he is not an offensive guy anyway. He is a below average/bottom 3d defensive guy and has always been. Someone needs to tell Woody to get his head of his ass and rectify this situation without wasting a year.
I know the Lions have been a good story recently, but I just find it amazing that the Jets were bad long enough that they ended up trying to emulate the Detroit fkn Lions.
OK!!!!! This 1,000 times... I mean, factoring in the entirety of the NFL historically speaking, the Lions were bad decades BEFORE the Jets were even thought of. And THIS is the team we choose to "model" ourselves after?? Crazy...
He's not here. And what about next year? And who are those coaches who wanted him here? Your opinion is one man wide.
No, you are not! Within the next 191 minutes of writing this you went back and referred to Rodgers three more time on this thread alone; who knows how many times on others. I'm sure a bright guy like you can go find a Steelers forum for you to post on about your obsession with Rodgers.
Yeah, I mean two play-off seasons out of five with 2 play-off wins is nice and all, but to serve as a model franchise, and on top of it to model after their DEFENSE, even though any success they had, however short lived, was on offense... It's just some surreal shit when you think about it. Also, given the year Glenn just had, if he does not get fired, which he should, at the very least he is on a hot seat. And typically people on a hot seat make short sighted moves since they know they may not have another year. For example, say we do trade up for #1 and have a shot at Mendoza and Moore, and think Moore has significantly higher ceiling and better long term prospect, but Mendoza is more ready to play now. We would then draft Mendoza, just because we think he can start right away, while Moore needs more seasoning and cannot help as much next year. This is just an example where if you think someone's seat is hot, better be a year too early and move on than a year too late.
That is the #1 reason why Glenn should be fired now. Glenn is now in survival mode so his moves and decision making will be short sighted, while the Jets are set up here for a long term play with the draft picks. My fear is Glenn will be willing to do whatever it takes to get a QB now if the Jets don't get one in the draft. There is no reason to bring Glenn back other than the money. If the Jets start off say 1-7 next year, he will be fired mid season. Just get it done and move on now.
But wait, Campbell started slow too in his second year, and look at the turnaround! I have a feeling if Woody keeps Glenn this year, Glenn will find a way to fool him again for the next year too. Maybe win a few meaningless games at the end and say something like, see Detroit also didn't make play-offs second year, but showed progress. Woody is stupid enough to fall for that too. He set the bar so low... I mean Bob with much shittier roster did better. And Bob sucked! For every unicorn like Campbell (and btw, let's see how Detroit does going forward without Ben Johnson - so far they are not off to a great start) there are numerous epic failures.
Glenn isn't going anywhere. That said, he better start showing results next season or he'll be firmly on the hot seat. I've said it on here many times before and I'll say it again: Not all candidates are the same just like in any industry/field, and until they start shooting for the stars and out paying for the top candidates (Ben Johnson, Sean Payton, etc), they will continue this failing circle jerk. It happened in Denver, Chicago, and New England in short order. Get an elite head coach and we'll contend within 2 seasons.
Amen, it is paramount. Glenn is bad because he is not ready even thought ego driven arrogrance belies it... What a fool...ust look in the mirror Arron, you'll see a loser just like the last three HC for the JETS. Fire his ass but I know Woody doesn't have the balls....
