“I think we’ve long since moved past the ‘positive attitude’ thing,” Rodgers said. via SNY. “I think it’s all about perspective. Perspective shapes your truth and your truth shapes your reality.”
“So the reality of the situation is what it is, but your perspective is what you can change every day. Therefore, what you focus on now is the most important thing. It’s not about changing the reality of the situation – being 4-11, eliminated from the playoffs and beginning an unknown offseason.”
Rodgers then talked about what the next two weeks will mean in building the future of the organization.

“You have to figure out what it means to be a professional,” he said. “This is an important part of the building culture. Over the last two weeks we’ve really been able to see who’s on board and who’s ready to get out. That’s just part of the game. I’ve been on a few teams that were eliminated.” It’s interesting to watch the practice habits and the preparation habits.
“Hopefully we do the right thing and that means a lot to us because everyone is watching and it’s a business where everyone knows who it is. There will be interesting conversations over the next few weeks, but just focus on the relationships we have with each other and try to finish things off like a pro.”
The Jets saw dramatic changes throughout the season, from firing their head coach and general manager to a major move by Davante Adams.
The team could see more changes as Garrett Wilson has remained non-committal about his future with the team.
