Matt LaFleur’s Respect Grade Falls — Should Packers Fans Be Concerned?

The NFLPA report cards weren’t supposed to be public. They leaked anyway. And the Green Bay Packers didn’t fare well. In Hour 1 of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, the crew reacts to the Packers dropping from 7th to 21st overall in the annual NFLPA player survey — with notable dips in: Head Coach (B-) Offensive Coordinator (C) Training Staff (C) Respect for players (second worst in the league) 📌 Based strictly on 022626 JGC Hour 1 022726 JGC Hour 1 🏈 The LaFleur Drop Matt LaFleur went from an A- to a B-. Is that noise? Or is it telling? The most surprising category? “Respect for Players.” The crew debates whether: NIL-era players are more sensitive Accountability feels harsher when losing Or something internally shifted during the five-game skid Jason Wilde notes that outside Wisconsin, many are stunned Packers fans are even debating LaFleur’s job security. 🎯 Stenovich’s “C” Grade Offensive Coordinator Adam Stenovich receiving a C jumps off the page. But what exactly are players grading? Play calling? Communication? Position development? Playing time distribution? Chewy raises the key question: How many disgruntled players does it take to tank a grade? The methodology matters. 🧠 Are Today’s Players Softer? Chewy doesn’t shy away from it. He argues today’s players may struggle more with hard coaching compared to prior eras. Jason counters with nuance: Grades reflect emotion — especially during losing stretches. And when you survey in December during a skid? You may not get objective feedback. 💰 The Cap Dominoes The hour also pivots to roster decisions: Rashaun Gary’s $28M cap hit Elgton Jenkins’ uncertain future Aaron Banks restructure possibility No roster bonus forcing immediate moves Jason highlights a key quote from Goody: “For the first time in recorded history, he said ‘if he’s still on the team.’” That subtle phrasing matters. The Packers may be publicly supportive — while privately calculating. ⚖️ The Bottom Line The Packers aren’t in crisis. But something changed. Whether it’s: Culture Accountability Losing fatigue Or just survey timing A drop from 7th to 21st isn’t random. And when coaching grades fall while cap cuts loom, it raises a bigger offseason question: Is Green Bay still aligned internally? 🎧 A sharp, honest breakdown of leaked NFLPA grades, coaching perception, and looming Packers roster decisions — only on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.
