I should have really said I'm pretty sure he's messing with us and not said it like it was for sure. It's legit hilarious he'd mess with us like that. What a goof. Each bracket apparently takes 6 screws, but they usually put in 7-8 on the normal collarbone break. If he really has 13, it means he has a 2nd bracket which would mean a 2nd break. I hope that it's not the case at least lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanedorf Posted October 27, 2017 Author Share Posted October 27, 2017 Rodgers and the Packers play it real close to the vest on injuries - they never reveal anything more than necessary and I've read a fair amount of whining from fans here who demand to know more. When Rodgers had a covert surgery on his calf, they kept that completely under wraps as far as the media were concerned and that's the way the Packers/Rodgers prefer to handle it Rodgers knew exactly what would happen after he announced the "13 screws" on national TV ( during a comedy skit) and the speculation that followed is pretty much what anyone would expect. Maybe he chose 13 to mess with people and maybe because that's how many Championships the Packers currently tout. Could also be the Truth, hiding in plain sight as noted by others. Spriggs and then Murphy will both be set to come off of IR around Thanksgiving while Rodgers is rehabbing; those moves/ non-moves might be more revealing than the jokes on Conan.

Don't see them using the IR-D on two backup OT. One of them (Spriggs most likely) seems to get one of the spots. Until we get close to Rodgers' eligibility to return, we won't really have a good idea who will get that second spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeseheadinMA Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 (edited) Judging by most recent A.Rodg instagram post, it seems he may have trolled us all, including hashtags "relax" "13screws" "alltrue" among others. Edited October 27, 2017 by CheeseheadinMA Can't figure out how to embed instagram posts or if we even can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanedorf Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 Aaron Rodgers came in at # 1 in ALEX rating for 2017 season per Football Outsiders "For those new to this metric, it is called Air Less EXpected, or ALEX for short. ALEX measures the average difference between how far a quarterback threw a pass (air yards) and how many yards he needed for a first down. If a quarterback throws a pass to a receiver 4 yards behind the line of scrimmage on third-and-13, then that would be -17 ALEX. The most meaningful ALEX numbers come on third and fourth down, when it's really crucial to get 100 percent of the need yards to extend the drive." http://www.footballoutsiders.com/alex/2018/alex-2017-season-review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanedorf Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 Originally, the idea was to penalize the check-down charlies (like Bridgewater) who threw a safe 3 yard pass on 3rd and 10. But the game has evolved and maybe FO needs to as well It penalizes the WR screens, which are all the rage in the NFL. They may have to revise the formula Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighCalebR Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Listening to Danica Patrick on the JRE, lady is very into chakra's and spirituality. Hopefully Aaron found her healing stones and her scroll of protection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanedorf Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 From Andrew Brandt at SI last fall: https://www.si.com/nfl/2017/09/06/matthew-stafford-detroit-lions-megadeal-contract-richer-than-tom-brady Matthew’s Megadeal "In the frenzy of transactions leading into the season that happens every year, there was one contract signing that should make anyone interested in the business of football stand up and take notice. Matthew Stafford’s new contract establishes new standards for 1) average per year ($27 million); 2) total guarantee ($92 million); 3) guarantee at signing ($60.5 million) and 4) signing bonus ($50 million). And speaking of that eye-popping $50 million signing bonus, its payment terms— $17 million by Sept. 15; $16.5 million by Nov. 15 and $16.5 million by Feb. 15—ensure he has all of it within five months ! The deal locks in a striking $86 million by the beginning of its second year " AR's agent is pasting this blurb to his forehead during negotiations. Ball's balls are gonna be tested...and Das Gute has a chance to notch a big win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're paying Rodgers appropriate comparison kinds of cap hits, we won't be winning anything either. Brady's next two cap hits are 14 million and 22 million and even the Patriots are low on defensive talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jontat83 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) Is Aaron about to get a 100% fully guaranteed QB contract? Smith is guaranteed 75% or around there on his new deal with Washington. Cousins is going to get a big deal in FA, Garoppolo is going to get a big deal even with his very small QB sample size. Matt Ryan also looking for a new deal soon. Schefter reported in December that Rodgers is seen as the next priority for Green Bay and that a deal is likely to come this offseason. Whatever percentage of guaranteed money he gets its going to be huge. Edited January 31, 2018 by jontat83 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever percentage of guaranteed money he gets its going to be huge. Like I said earlier, I'd try to save money on a per year basis by offering him the league's first ever fully guaranteed deal. I'd offer to tear up the last two years on his deal and sign him to something like 100/4 fully guaranteed. 25 per year is saving you probably 4-5m a year on what he could get. However he'd break the record for most guaranteed money and be known as the first ever NFL player with a fully guaranteed deal. Worth a shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
