Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers has remained silent on his true views on owner Woody Johnson’s rash decision to fire coach Robert Saleh after just five games. Beyond protesting (perhaps too much) the suggestion that Rodgers caused the firing, Rodgers never said whether or not he agreed.

Appearing on Pat McAfee’s show Tuesday, Rodgers made some comments about the firing of offensive coordinator Shane Waldron in Chicago. The things Rodgers said, whether he meant it or not, apply to Saleh’s firing in New York.

“Unfortunately, that’s the nature of our league now, isn’t it?” » said Rodgers. “It’s the coaches and refs on both sides of the ball that are failing to get through the season. . . . There is but there is not much patience left in the championship. It’s, you know, “Get this guy out of here.” “Unfortunately, what’s happening – and I mean it – is largely ‘rinse and repeat’ under the guise of a whole new pattern, a whole new approach. And that’s how the league goes too often. There is no patience to say, “I believe in X. This person, this scheme, this coordinator, this player. And we will weather these storms because it will make us a mentally strong group or person. And we’re going to support these people and that’s — I don’t care what you have to say outside the building — that’s what we’re going to do.

Hmm. Uh. GOOD. ALL RIGHT.

“The consensus of all the fans is: ‘If we don’t win now, then everyone needs to go,'” Rodgers said. “And look, there are places, I’m sure, that are broken. Locker rooms that may not fit together or staff that need a shake-up from time to time. But I would continue to preach patience to players and coaches.

“But you know where it starts? Possession. Owners need to come out and make strong statements. “That’s the plan, that’s what we’re doing. We’re going to trust the process or trust the guys that are in place. Unless there’s a major problem, arrest, or something that disrupts plans.

Rodgers added that he thinks the opinions of the “social media world” and “the incredible pundits who talk about football really impact decision-making in billion-dollar organizations.”

Very good, Aaron. Let us know what you think, then. What had happened in New York? Were you preaching patience when Saleh was fired? Or was there a “major problem” or “major issue” that threw off the plans?

Rodgers has never been pressed on this point by the New York media, which apparently reserves its venom only for those who dare to question whether they have deserved their reputation.

Tomorrow they’ll have the chance to ask Rodgers if what he said on the McAfee show about Chicago applies to New York. And, more to the point, if Rodgers would have preached patience with Saleh or if he thought there was a major problem that would derail the plans.

Folks, he put the ball on the tee for you. During his media availability on Wednesday, will you give him a shot – or will you come after me with a nine iron because I dared to point out that you may not be willing to hit the ball?
