Aaron Rodgers would hate Armand Membou's first NY Jets comments

Armand Membou hasn’t even put on a New York Jets jersey yet, but his first public comments are already bringing a new energy to the building in Florham Park.

Describing new head coach Aaron Glenn as “a cool-ass dude,” Membou wasted no time embracing the culture and energy of the new regime. It’s a simple, feel-good quote, but in the context of the last few weeks, it reads like the exact opposite of how Aaron Rodgers would have described his final days with the franchise.

While Rodgers was busy torching the Jets, particularly Glenn, on national TV and airing his grievances about his exit, Membou came in smiling, praising his new coach, and sounding like someone eager to go to work.

Rodgers accused the team of disrespect, made a spectacle of his release, and continued his now-familiar pattern of placing himself at the center of a dramatic narrative. That's just what he does.

Membou? He called his head coach “cool” and moved on. Sometimes the subtext says everything.

It’s hard not to see the contrast as symbolic. Rodgers represents the mess the Jets left behind. Membou, like Justin Fields, represents what they’re building toward — something younger, quieter, and more team-oriented.

The Membou pick is everything the Jets needed. It is smart, foundational, and drama-free. It fills the team’s most glaring need with one of the cleanest prospects in the draft, giving Justin Fields the protection Rodgers never truly had.

More than that, it reinforces the Jets’ commitment to building through the trenches and creating long-term roster stability. After two years of noise and indecision, this pick feels like a statement. The Jets are focused, intentional, and finally doing things the right way.

As for Rodgers, he continues to make headlines even in the wake of his departure. While the Jets turn the page with a new quarterback and a new regime, Rodgers remains fixated on how things ended.

Combine that with his frustrating indecision that has essentially held the Pittsburgh Steelers hostage, and it's safe to say the Jets are happy they moved on.

Jets fans and Armand Membou seem to be on the same page in thinking that Aaron Glenn is the right man to lead this new era. Aaron Rodgers can disagree all he wants, but there’s a reason he’s no longer in Florham Park while they are.
