**** Official Aaron Rodgers injury thread ***** (1 Viewer)

Yeah I don't see the point in IR'ing him now. There's what, 4 weeks left. They must think 1) He can't come back this year or 2) They can't catch the Lions or 3) They really want that roster spot for someone else.

You don't see the point in IRing him with 4 weeks left?How about it stops this media circus with a daily rodgers watch? How distracting that must be. Also, if they are out of it, why keep Rodgers active? Shut him down on the IR so he can focus on healing. If they are out of the race, which after this week they likely will be, why bring him back? There's no positives, only negatives to that scenario

I think the Rodgers watch would stop if they are eliminated. Maybe because I'm not in GB, but I don't think there's been a ton of talk about him on a national level.

They interrupted the Denver/kc commercials-might have been the game, not sure- in the Milwaukee market with" breaking news" that Rodgers might be IRed

Yikes lol. So yeah I guess I see your point then.

This wouldn't have even been a question with Lord Favre. They should retire his jersey next week after Erin announces his sabbatical. How fitting it would be to see the iron-man out there back on the field, with cutie pie over on the sidelines nursing his cowerbone.

How does someone "focus" on healing? Does the bone take longer to heal if Rodgers isn't "focused" on it?

These are professional football players, everyday is a media circus. They aren't going home at night glued to ESPN hoping to get some Rodgers injury update news.

Comes off as either weak shtick or base drivel more than anything, to be honest.

Focus on healing means rehab. While you cannot rehab a broken or fractured bone per say, you can use a bone stimulator to increase the healing time. Also, Rodgers has repeatedly said that there is no pain but there is flexibility and strength issues. So focus on those. Get yourself in the best possible shape so that when the season is over, he can go into his typical offseason regimen without waiting for healing.I concede that he could do all of those things and not be IRed, but I think if you aren't practicing and aren't preparing for each game, you can take time to get yourself mentally and physically ready for the offseason so that when it comes it is as if you are going into it as if you were never hurt.

That and , you know, not taking hits from 250- 300lb defensive players.

My whole means of supporting him was hope, i mean a fractured collarbone is bad, but to IR him not let alone not play this week with playoff hopes still alive, who cares about fantasy?

I know and understand he can suffer more damage, but its not a certainty that he steps on the field it will happen. you can scheme around getting the ball of quickly. A poor Oline in Denver did it for Manning, while manning is an elite talent, so is Rodgers.

I feel since he can walk his melon is ok and his throwing arm is fine, play. Call me heartless, but im a football fan, i like football players. football players have been playing through injuries regardless of risks since the game began.

A person can be completly healthy and get one hit and may never walk again or play again maybe in Finleys case, so yes Rodgers still and will always be one hit away.

So the risk of death which i cant believe was brought up as it is worse case scenario. Worst case scenario is a person can walk out there house and die from a heart attack or get shot, doesnt mean it will happen.

So by your logic:If you had a flat tire on your car, you would take your car out on the freeway and drive it anyways instead of waiting for it to be fixed because, "well there's a risk every time I sit in my car that I could get into an accident and die, so why is this any different?"

Or

You are on a plane and the pilot does his preflight check and finds that one of the engines isn't working properly. Well, according to Phenx, there's a risk for death every time someone flies, so why not just take off anyways?

Rodgers has a broken bone. It is a very fragile bone that can easily be broken again. If it is not healed properly, it puts him at INCREASED risk, more than normal. There is never an issue of initial risk. We understand that people can get hurt at any time. But if there is increased risk, then caution should be observed.

According to Phenx, players who suffer concussions should go right back out on the next play as long as they can see straight and feel fine. I mean, after all, every player out there is at risk for a concussion on every play.

Not sure why I'm feeding the troll, or why I even took Phenx off my block list to begin with. This type of logic makes me put him right back on. Smh...

You clearly didn't read my post. Can doctors read, we already know you can't spell? Take a look at the two bolded.

Since your statement of trying to argue with me was wiped away by me clearly saying to those who can read "if his melon is ok"

So I have some questions for you...

Do you just like to argue and feel that because you are a doctor you are superior?

Do you also feel you are the only one to have an opinion?

I can read better than you apparently. I stated, according to you, as long as they can see straight and they feel fine, they will go back out there. Forget at the cellular and structural level what's going on, it's about how a person feels

This whole thread is about you and what you claim to know and you really get upset when others talk about hope and have other opinions.

So in honor...

I don't think he's going to play this upcoming week. But I'd be surprised if they put him on IR, unless the healing is just going really slow. They have a very winnable game this weekend even without Rodgers. I wouldn't IR him unless they were mathematically eliminated.

 

[Da Gildz]

Yea i'd go the other way. Seems to me like he probably feels good and wants to play and they're waiting on the results to give him the green light or just delay him another week. This talk of shutting him down is crazy. They're right in the mix for the division playing a crap Atlanta team while Chicago/Detroit have tough games themselves.

Yes, a scan today earlier, medical staff evaluation, and then McCarthy has his press conference. I wouldn't read into it except for the fact that we will have an answer yes or no at least

Baloney Sammich, the Doc really does not want people to hold out hope, he wants us all to just say Rodgers is done. Even though that may be the case, he really wants people to listen to him.

But if you ask me, Hope away. Guess the presser is at 3:15 central so about 45 minutes. Should be on NFL Network I assume.

Rodgers wants to. Why wouldn't he? He's not a doctor, so he doesn't know all the intricate details. Look at this forum, those who think he should play are those who assume the know enough about the medical profession to form an educated opinion.

It comes down to what the franchise wants to do, Rodgers isn't going to like it, but they are going to do what is best for the franchise. Risking what's has become apparent as the glue that holds their team together for a few meaningless games is not smart football.

As an owner of the Green Bay packers I would hope they would look towards the long term, not short term

I agree with this, but the next two weeks do not qualify as meaningless.

I agree. Best case, Packers know this team isn't ready for a deep playoff run. It's not their year. They already had too many significant injuries. Rodgers was the backbreaker. Even if he's healthy, he can't throw this team on his back and take them very far. It would be better for the franchise to shut him down. He's basically the franchise anyway. Why risk it?

Usually I don't like people quoting him because I prefer to keep him blocked and not see his postings.

But not what I was saying at all. Apparently Phenx can't read. I should spell it out for those who are slower than others.

I stated that people shouldn't read into it: as in if it's a good thing or bad thing, that the scan was today and that McCarthys media conference was moved from yesterday to today. It could mean something bad, it could mean they are giving Rodgers an extra day to see if he's ready.

I also stated that either way, we would find out yes or no if he's IRed or playing. Which means exactly what it says.

So yes, there is hope. Yes, there is doubt. All of us can speculate or wish on a magic star that we get our way. In the end, it won't matter and we will find out in 30 minutes

I agree with this, but the next two weeks do not qualify as meaningless.

If they lose to atl it will. I don't expect Rodgers to play Sunday. That being the case, putting dead arm Flynn back there we might as well play BJ Raji at QB; we have no shot (would be AWESOME to see though). Therefore I expect GB to lose. Making the rest of the season meaningless

They'd be foolish to go back to Flynn. He gives the Packers zero chance. At least roll with Tolzien and let him run around a little, you'd have a punchers chance at getting lucky that the ATL offense steps on itself. Maybe? Better than zero percent chance right?

I'm surprised they have not sign someone else to take a shot on, bring Vince Young back, see if he has any Magic left.

For those that are still clinging for hope (Dr Doom and RaiderFan please don't read this)...

It was a hairline fracture and originally called a 4-6 week injury. Sunday at home vs. ATL will be exactly five weeks.

They are 1.5 games behind DET with 4 to go -

DET - @Phi / Bal / NYG / @Min

GB - Atl / @Dal / Pit / Chi

I see scenarios where GB is still alive, ESPECIALLY if they win this week and Det loses, which is not absurd, given whom each team is playing this week.

IF the scans and tests look good, I most definitely place a non zero chance on Rodgers returning this year as long as there is still some chance of making it into the postseason.

I believe Flynn is the starter this week. Or maybe McCarthy is going to announce the starter at 3:15. He announced Flynn as taking first team reps last week at his press conference. I assume that will be clarified today.

Tolzien is their best chance at winning a game, and he is auditioning for the backup role next year. Flynns days in the NFL are done

I think Tolzien plus a healthy dose of Lacy and Starks can win this game for you. ATL D is the suck.

I will give you credit for holding out hope. The way I see it, even if they do make the playoffs no way they go anywhere. When they face a good D like Seattle they can't out up points to counter the bad D.

However, I do admit that they shouldn't IR him unless he isn't healing as expected, or if they are still in the playoff race. If he doesn't play this week and they win, and Detroit loses, well then there's an interesting scenario. I have lost all hope in the packers, so I don't expect them to win. I fully expect Detroit to give GB every chance they can at taking the division back though.

Then why the delay? But you could be right too, who knows.

probably not. I could easily see it going the route of same story we've had the last few weeks. Prompting another week of "believe!"

No one gave the 2011 Giants a chance either because of their lousy defense and it was worse than the Packers.

My expectation given all the facts we know thus far -

1. Rodgers tests look good, but not ready to start.

2. IF they win vs ATL or Det loses @Phi, Rodgers starts @DAL week 16.

3. Tolzien announced as starter for week 15.
