The Draw Play

It’s amusing to me that a guy famous for having major conspiracy brain has had to defend himself for the past two weeks about jokes and conspiracies that he is in charge of the New York Jets personnel decisions. He hasn’t done a very good job convincing us!

The firing of Robert Saleh was quite a surprise and I do think that Rodgers probably wasn’t the main reason why Woody did it, but Rodgers is fooling himself if he expects any of us to believe that team does not revolve around him and his wishes. Of course it does! By design! It has been Aaron’s team to mold since he first expressed an interest in going there! Woody might be in charge, Joe Douglas might be the GM forced to make these moves happen, but this is Rodgers’s team. That was the contract. Tom Brady did it in Tampa. When you get a player of such importance and caliber of course you are going to use him as the cornerstone and build the team around him.

If Rodgers ever comes into political office (god forbid) we can probably expect his cabinet to be made up of Randal Cobb, Allen Lazard, David Bakhtiari, Jordy Nelson, Mason Crosby, Davante Adams, Clay Matthews, AJ Hawk, and John Kuhn. Speaking of Davante Adams, the instant he demanded a trade from Las Vegas we all knew where he was going, right? Was it a surprise to any of you to see him as a Jet literally the day after Rodgers loses a primetime game when his WR falls down on a route and causes an interception? Does Rodgers really expect us to buy that he had nothing to do with that? That all he did was lobby for him? He may have well held Joe Douglas at gunpoint, what is Douglas going to do, not go all out for the team specifically built to make Rodgers as happy as possible?

By the way, Mike Williams? That WR that fell down? He’s on the trading block now. Of course he is. Rodgers threw him under the bus saying he ran the wrong route on that final pick. I’m honestly surprised they didn’t just ship him off to Vegas in the Adams deal. Rodgers might not have any official power in that building, but he has all the influence. He has all the real power. Nobody is standing up to him. There’s no point. This team lives or dies by what Rodgers wants and does now. This is like when a director casts themselves as the lead in their own movie.
