Old Guy Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Just now, R T said: Technically true, but very easy to work around now. The Jets are not handcuffed by the Packers anymore after this injury. Please explain this to me. Not trying to be an *******, but we don't know the final number until the end of the year. I'm sure it will be an easier task than prior to the injury, but who determines when the 65% is no longer possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was suddenly going to stop? Yes. I don't think your question is genuine, but the answer is. Yes, Aaron should adjust his play style to reduce his injury risk. This seems so obvious to literally every person I've talked to about this, in real life and on here, except you. You're the outlier here, not me.

As someone else said, "live by the sword, die by the sword!" Many of us were tired of him years ago. The improvisation was a double-edged sword, as I stated. His aversion to the center of the field is something he should get phycological help for. I take no joy in Rodgers getting hurt. Said it earlier. Tough watching Favre's career end up wounded on the sidelines. If this is Aaron's last game, that too would be a shame. This is the same mindset I have.

Was reading up on it some new procedures allow a quicker recovery. Still 12 months give or take a few months. Really sucks. Was looking forward to watching him play for the Jets. 4 snaps and he's done. Who would have thought? At 40 man I don't know. Knowing Rodgers don't think it's the way he wants to go out. He'll probably attempt a comeback. Whether he can regain his form well? Man he's got to be bummed. Regardless he's done for the year so that 1st rounder is toast. Without Rodgers Jets will be a middle of the road team. That second rounder will be in the mid 40's. 4 snaps wtf??? I posted in the Gen forum saying the Jets' OL might be a problem for them keeping AR upright and sadly I was right. I feel for Aaron but this really sucks for us. No first from them this coming spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 His play style should've been curbed years ago. Yes, even when he won MVPs. He played way more in the system those years, mind you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're the outlier here, not me. There's an obvious difference between "should" and the reasonable expectation that he will. It needed to be accepted about 5 years ago that A-Rod was going to play football as A-Rod until he wasn't playing football anymore. The Packers accepted this fact until they realized that he needs WRs that have grown with him to be on the same wave length. The Jets traded for him and added those receivers and coaxed him to attend the offseason program accepting the same fact. Seems like this situation has been going on for centuries before you or I, and in all walks of life, perhaps the reason why everyone on the planet knows the phrase "hard to teach an old dog new tricks." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how their cap situation is though I suspect only NY media and Jets fans are mentioning this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any trade for a LT went down the toilet with Aaron's Achilles. This offseason they can likely get Bak as a free agent, if Rodgers is coming back.

Would you scold a sexual assault victim that you warned her before to stop going out dressed like that? Some sick people in here. Mods should grow a set an hand out bans to the usual trolls, tainting the entire fanbase and packer fan community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans didn't sign him. Fans didn't make the decision to live with his choices. Fans can reasonably want the guy to do more to stay on the field and earn the $100mil their team gave him.

He'd still be quarterbacking the Packers if such a fairy tale existed however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The receiver was wide open on the slant and was open way earlier than this was taken. But Rodgers wasn't looking for it. He was looking for the seam route and Lazard who was covered on the in route. There's no discussion to be had here about who was responsible for him getting hit. It was on Rodgers. The only discussion here is whether or not we're in bad taste for talking about it. We've seen this from AR for a few years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm glad we agree Jets fans are the real losers in all of this and that a big part of why they lost is because of Aaron Rodgers' play mindset. I think we also agree that nobody ever thought he'd change. And that that knowledge doesn't excuse the choice, the result or the fallout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
