The focus of fans’ frustration within an NFL team usually lands on one of four people — the general manager, the head coach, the quarterback or the offensive coordinator. I have always thought of it as a moving bull’s-eye.
For Jets fans right now, the bull’s-eye is on owner Woody Johnson.
When Johnson fired Robert Saleh in October and Joe Douglas in November, he left himself with nowhere else for the frustration to land but on him. The fans are not invested in Aaron Rodgers in the long term like they would be with a first-round pick. It feels like Rodgers is just passing through, even if he does return next year. We’re way past the offensive coordinator shouldering the blame for the Jets struggles.
That leaves Johnson, who bought the Jets 25 years ago this month.
