Championshiporbust Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 He's the last of the old guard from the 2000s. Does he have another Super Bowl run at him or should he retire in the Mahomes' era? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawgX Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I say one or three more years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelersfan43 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 It's going to be hard for him to play at a high level because of his serious injury and his age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaddHatter Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I think he has the ability to play a few more years. Brady played till 45 and nothing I've seen from Rodgers has suggested he can't still play at a very high level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PossibleCabbage Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Rodgers will try to play this year, but it would be very funny if he called up the Jets and said "Just got out of the Darkness, I'm 100% retired this time." One of the differences between Rodgers and Brady is that Rodgers loves to pat the ball and wait for a better option to come open even if the easy read for a short completion is there. Combined with the Jets OL, I think that's a potential recipe for disaster. If he gets a major injury again this year, I think he needs to call it a career. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see his injury as one that is that serious that it would inhibit his play, especially a full season later. If he was Lamar Jackson, then maybe, but Rodgers is an elite pocket passer who has had good legs when needed, but would be just as good if he had Peyton-esq stone feet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET80 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I expect next year to be the final year - not because he can't play, but because he's got other interests that he'll focus on. He's got to be looking at the podcast game as a serious step in his career. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what Sirius is paying Brady (couldn't find the renewal) but I think ESPN is paying McAfee $13/m yr for the rights to his show and pulling it off Youtube and onto ESPN. I know Rogan is making $60-70m/yr for his, but his Podcast seems unique. Kind of like using Taylor Swift's income to justify becoming a musician. Anyways, I can see why he'd walk away if he can get a $30-35m/yr deal with ABC/NBC/FOX like Brady and maybe another $10-15m/yr for a podcast plus endorsement money and never have to get hit by a 300lb man from behind again.

iknowcool Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 (edited) I have a hard time believing Aaron Rodgers can stay healthy for 2 more seasons at 40 and 41 years old. He's dealt with injuries throughout his career and while some years he could play through it (the calf injury and the knee injury), that is only going to be more challenging at his age. You didn't have those concerns with Brady because he didn't have the history of getting banged up like Rodgers. And we're talking about a guy who likes to extend plays. There's only so much you can do to protect a QB like him. On top of that, he already looked like he might be on the decline in his final year in Green Bay. Hand injury and losing Davante Adams played a role in that but still. I think a lot of things are working against Rodgers having a great enough year to want to return in 2025, but we'll see. They can definitely make the playoffs with a regressed Rodgers, and maybe if they get the right match-ups have a great run in the postseason.

Perhaps I'm speculating here, but I can easily see Rodgers thinking he's an immediate peer to Rogan in the podcast game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GangGreen420 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I’d be shocked if he makes it through 2024. Healthy or not I think this is his final season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
