Then you have situations like we did in ATL where Guion was playing OG and that's a risk to both himself, his QBs/RBs and the guys he's blocking because he has no fricken clue what he's doing. I'll never understand the NFLs roster restrictions. You can dress 100 guys in college. it's actually meant to maintain fairness for teams that are injured. So one team can't have 53 healthy guys and one can have only 46. There are way better ways to do this though, 7 is too small of a number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Fussnputz Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 The IR rule is outdated. Why not do away with the practice squad and the two player IR recall, and just increase the roster to 75? Any 50 could be active on game day. The other 25 or so healthy players could play some b squad games (5 maybe?) to develop their skills. If someone has a season ending injury they could still be IR-ed, but not recallable. With the injury rate in the NFL, 50 game day players with 25 more on the roster being developed for backups seems necessary. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire12 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Roster limits are a $$ thing as a small part. Roster bonus and such. NFL PA wants to split the pie among less players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could place a new league minimum for the bottom 10 guys on roster or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not? what the hell is the harm? Don't believe so but I'll not sure. No idea. As long as they make original 53. It's archaic and stupid.

What if they think there is a chance that its a 6 week injury if everything goes well with surgery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do they gain by placing him on IR today? Likely waiting to see the extend of Rodgers injury after further tests, 2nd opinion, etc. Also need to see what other injuries at other positions to sort through the best addition for roster needs. Not that Rodgers to IR changes who they add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All will be avenged. If the surgery is to fixate the clavicle fracture, Rodgers is likely not throwing for 8-10 weeks minimum. He will have lost a lot of arm strength, accuracy and touch during that time with no throwing and very minimal strength work. Not to mention the high risk of refracture if landing on his right shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets go with Hundley and see what we have here and allow Rodgers to completely heal for the 2018 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jontat83 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 IIRC Romo re-broke his when he came back to early. I think the best choice for the franchise going forward is to end his season and come back 100% healthy next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packerraymond Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 The first playoff game isn't for 11 weeks. If Rodgers can throw after 8, take him off IR, have him practice for 3 weeks and see what happens. The goal should be for Hundley to take us to wild card weekend and Aaron to pick up where he left off there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
