I don't see him getting rushed back in. I think the sighting is more gamesmanship than anything else. Flynn can handle the Lions.

He brought the Packers back from the dead in that game. He came in midway through the third quarter and lead the team back from a 7-20 deficit to a 23-23 tie. I think he leads the Packers to a 35-31 win on Thanksgiving.

I ####### hate rotoworld - while I think the chances are decent he plays next week, "all but certain" is far from how I'd characterize it.

I have been using Rotoworld to my advantage, posting info/emailing for others who listen to them like Gospel to start panic. One cut Rodgers and another traded me Manning worried about cold weather and his ankles. Thanks Rotoworld.

If I were a betting man (and I am), I'd say Flynn has no chance against DET tomorrow. Minnesota was a garbage dump with a terrible overall defense and nothing to truly play for. Not to mention they didn't game plan for Flynn to step in halfway through the game.
Detroit is the division rival with a playoff spot on the line and something to prove, has one of the best D-lines in the league, and won't be caught off guard. Furthermore, they have a much better offense than MIN, and GB's secondary is going to get torched. Detroit wins by 10 points at least. I'll be happy to return and eat crow if I'm wrong.

Detroit has the worst secondary in the league and they cant get any pressure on the QB.
The lions are really good at stopping the Run

But come on...the VIkings didn't game plan for a QB to throw the ball.
Because somehow Flynn's game vs. Tolziens is much different to game play for.

They study these QBs every move and tendencies to a tenth of a percentage point for a week, if not longer. No, Flynn and Tolzien are not worlds different as far as their playing style, but I do believe Flynn coming in and not having the advantage of studying his every move the preceding week did have some effect.

Yeah...at this point, put Tolzien in the rest of the year...see if you have a capable backup QB for the future.

I have a feeling that Rodgers will be feeling much better this week.

Eh, too late for me. Just like last season Rodgers let me down during the stretch run. The guy was a one year wonder from a fantasy standpoint. Nice QB, but in my FF League he's not a top 5 QB. And his stache is creepy and his commercials suck.

Who would've thought that Rodgers would only have 4 games this year with 2 TD's or more. People want to focus on the injury, but even when he did play this year he wasn't all that spectacular. Don't get me wrong, he's a great QB in real life. He limits turnovers just about better than anyone. But in Fantasy terms he's just not that great anymore. His team runs the ball like crazy, he himself doesn't run anymore, he's got some injury prone receivers, his O-Line sucks, and he plays outdoors in the frozen tundra. Thankfully I won't have to watch him anymore because I can assure you the only way he makes it on my team next year is as a #2 quarterback.

Oh, I forgot you are qualified and have examined Rodgers and his X-rays to know that he should "of" played today.

Was it you who tried this once already?
#2 overall qb just behind Bree's in 2011 and 2012.
That with the crappy line and in that same cold stadium.

I know he makes a lot of money and he knows the risks of the game and there is always risk of injury even if you are healed as Derrick Rose.

Not in my league's scoring system. Granted my league doesn't penalize for turnovers. I think last year he was ranked 4th and this year, prior to injury, he was 7th or 8th. But what's frustrating about the guy is the inconsistency. Last year he disappeared for about 5 weeks in the middle of the season, and like I said earlier, this year he had two or three of his 7 games that were mediocre.It's not a knock on him. He's a good QB. But he never turned into the fantasy monster that many of us thought he'd be after that unbelievable season a couple years ago. I think in most scoring leagues he has underperformed in each of the last 2 years based on where he was drafted. Hard to dispute that.

If you would have drafted better he would have literally won you a title had you made it to week 15.

And if my Aunt had balls she'd be my Uncle. It certainly didn't help that during weeks 11, 12 and 13 Mr. Discount Doulecheck spit the bit and only mustered 2 passing TD's total in those 3 weeks.
You're right about one thing, though. I made some very poor drafting choices the past 2 years. In both seasons I selected Rodgers with my first pick. Won't happen again.

If you're going to blame your losing on drafting the player who was #2 in points last year then I don't know what to say.

If he can't go next week, he probably won't play again this year. Packers might be out of it going into week 15.

So you are telling me no one has played football with an injury of these sorts? Think hard. I know of a story where a guy named Jack played on a broken leg and a guy named Ronnie had his finger cut off to play in a game. I assure those are more catastrophic than a broken collarbone, I think the heart is what clearly is the difference here. Not playing because of risk of reinjury is no excuse as you always risk injury. I remember when this game was played by tough men.water1 said:
If a guy can play RB on a separated shoulder, a QB can play with an almost healed collarbone. Stop defending Rodgers recovery and start questioning his heart.
Now tell me more about his non throwing collarbone and risk of reinjury?

As someone in the medical profession, it's obvious you guys clearly don't understand the physiology behind healing bone
http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/405699_6
To suggest its equivalent to playing through a separated shoulder truly shows your ignorance. A separated shoulder can't get any worse. In fact, if you separate your shoulder it will be separated forever. They don't heal and you don't fix it. That is why people with separated shoulders have that bump on top of their shoulders. It is the separation. (A separated shoulder is not actually at the shoulder. It's where the collarbone attaches to the shoulder blade)
It's not just playing through pain, although he has none. If he re breaks his collarbone now, he would be looking at potentially 6 months of recovery from a rebreak.
To suggest he should toughen it out and play is equal to telling someone who suffered a concussion to play through the dizziness and man up. There are long term effects that can happen if he re-breaks this bone.
You can be arm chair GMs, but leave the medical profession to the professionals.

The collarbone is the only spot in the body where the shoulder connects to the body by joint. A re injury there would be catastrophic
