The Puppetmaster
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.
As a Bills fan I welcome the new Jets GM!
But seriously this was my reaction to the Davante Adams trade
“The Jets will offer a third rounder, conditional 2nd”
*”Well I could have lived with the Bills paying that, I mean there is a ton of cap space the Raiders would need to eat-“*
“And the Jets will be paying the entirety of his salary for the rest of the year at ~$13 million and will have him on the books for two more years for $36 million per”
“Also the Bills just acquired Amari Cooper for a 3rd and will pay $800 K”
*Doubles over laughing*
Strictly speaking, the Bills are paying the remainder of Cooper’s salary, it’s just that the Browns already Brownsed things up in the offseason when they converted $15 million in salary to a signing bonus to push the cap hit to next year.
But yeah, the Bills absolutely destroyed the Jets on the WR trades, and I’m here for it.
I don’t care who he’s got at WR when Rodgers’ record when trailing after three quarters is 1-49. You’re supposed to be elite for 60 minutes, not just the first 45. This changes nothing except screwing the Jest even harder and for longer.
It will be hilarious when the Jets improve just enough to miss the playoffs by a game.
His body language is so easy to read. Whenever he gets hit or mistimes a throw, you can see from miles away just how annoyed he is. The way he threw Mike Williams under the bus was particularly disgusting. “No, I did MY job, he has to do HIS job” you’re the one who threw the ball me guy! I bet he threw him under the bus for his terrible throw at the end of the Vikings game too.
Maybe the the most frustrating bit is he just plays so innocent all the time. He never said what he said, and if he did he didn’t mean it, but if he did then it was completely justified…He thinks he’s so smart, but everybody sees through him. There are few things more annoying than a spoiled brat acting like the got one over on you when they signed their name in shit on the walls.
I’d compare Rodgers’ annoyed face to Jay Cutler’s DUI mugshot from last night. Twinsies!
(I really don’t have much to add here — just wanted to publicize Cutler’s mugshot somehow…)
Rodgers *tried* to throw Williams under the bus. but it was short and he was hit by a car instead.
Rogers actively conspiring against his teammates and coaches isn’t hypocrisy or irony. Conspiracists will actively conspire against others if they feel they can get away with it. They just presume anyone else would do the same.
Come to think of it, I’ve never seen Aaron Rodgers and Joe Douglas in the same room. I can totally imagine two sitcom characters simultaneously blurting out “Joe” and “Douglas” as fake names and suddenly the myth of Joe Douglas springs to life.
Lol I feel targeted by the J E S T
i hope mike williams goes somewhere he can catch the winning TD over the Jets. Please. Please football gods
