The NFL Players Association has annually asked its players to grade their team on numerous categories. These categories include the quality of the locker room, the quality of the training staff, and the quality of the weight room among others.
Another of the categories is owner quality. A year ago, Jets owner Woody Johnson was the only of the league’s owners to receive an F grade from his players.
After a disastrous season where Johnson was the driving force behind some of the most destructive moves,
fans might hope the owner would be self-reflective and vow to improve. Johnson went in another direction, calling the grade “totally bogus.”
He proceeded to take things a step further, pushing for the abolition of these report cards.
In this endeavor, Johnson has evidently succeeded.
This report card had been around for years, and Johnson took no interest until he received the F grade a year ago.
If Johnson put half as much effort into actually improving the team as he did in trying to block the NFLPA from releasing grades that make him look bad, the Jets might not be the league’s least successful franchise.
In any event, Johnson should savor his success. It isn’t often he actually has any sort of success on anything NFL related.
