I have a sneaking suspicion he gets cleared tomorrow. Jordy Nelson owners rejoice!

I kinda have that same feeling. Might be wishful thinking, but other than the Vegas odds, the tea leaves seem to be pointing in that direction.

News coming at some point today. As I was watching rivers make me regret going with the "sure points", I was talking with a grad school buddy who works for the hospital/clinic group in GB that is contracted by the packers (Bellin Health). Kind of wish I had talked to him before kickoff last night.
Obviously he can't legally tell me specifics, and if he did I couldn't legally share that information either. All he could tell me is "from what I hear, it's looking good [to play this week]." I tried to pry a little more out of him, but that didn't work.
So take it for what it's worth, which could be not a whole lot to most people. To me, it's worth more than the average hunch,which is good enough for me. If I had known this before kick off last night I would have benched Rivers to go with Rodgers and fall back on Luck if Rodgers wasn't cleared (just to show what value this information is to me, don't need to get forum police involved)

Only hope was it was a smokescreen and he took more in the part after the 15 minutes that media was there.
McCarthy supposed to talk at 12:25.

Rodgers says he feels like he is ready to play obviously the doctors are putting a c*ck block on it

What are the chances the Packers are still in the playoff hunt after this weekend? Assuming no upsets. Why not shut him down?

Just gotta ask yourself WWSD (What Would Shanahan Do)? He would've been shut down weeks ago.

I know you really want to see Rodgers, but don't undersell your boy's first NFL game. It's gonna be great. You'll see. The game is almost sidebar. It's not gonna suck.####. As a Rodgers owner in FF semifinals, this sucks.
As a Packer fan taking his son to his first NFL game Sunday, this really sucks.

Downgrade Lacy and Nelson. ####.
LawFitz

Cowboys run D is awful and Sean Lee is hurt again, so they will be even worse. If Lacy were 100%, I'd have no fear about this matchup and would consider the QB news neutral b/c it would mean they'd likely rely on him with more (albeit lower quality) looks. That said, who knows how gimpy Lacy will be with the ankle, so this could be a disaster.
Nelson OTOH... #### is right.

It sounds like he wants to play and feels good - it's the medical staff holding him back - he might go next week.

I think if you go back the last few weeks in the thread, you'll see people saying the exact same thing.

He'll be disappointed by the news, but I'm sure Stu Jr will wear his Rodgers jersey anyway.

From the article: ""Frankly, it's been a difficult morning going through the conversation with Aaron and Dr. McKenzie," McCarthy said. "Speaking with Dr. McKenzie, this is the right decision."
The team's doctors did not clear Rodgers to play, and McCarthy said it was the right decision for the organization. McCarthy said Rodgers made progress during the week, but he did not receive a CT-scan on Friday."
It seems odd to me that they didn't even re-scan this week to see if there was enough healing to play. With that being the case, I think it's now pretty unlikely he is playing next week either. If he can put in first team reps in pads for two days, say he feels ready to go, and the medical staff won't even give him a scan to see where the bone's at, then I'd have to imagine his chances for next week are near nil.

While I don't expect it, if they are in the hunt next week, legitimately so, then that would be a good reason depending upon how much risk exists.

They didn't even give him a scan?!?! Ok, so all you people out there who have been killing me for in here the last 6 weeks for my staunch opinion that this has been handled poorly - please answer me this.... Why did they let Rodgers practice so much this week? He obviously passed the pain threshold test based on the fact he was clearly disappointed at not being cleared. So what is the Medical Staff basing its decision on? Without a ct scan, how was it possible all week that he could possibly play on Sunday, but then have this change on Friday morning? Do they have X-ray vision that was used this morning?Their season is on the line. Without Rodgers they are 7.5 point underdogs against the Cowboys. With Rodgers I'd imagine the spread would be almost even. So you've essentially made a decision that probably ends your team's season, and that decision was based on what again? Not only that, but I'm sure Flynn could have benefitted from the practice time that went to Rodgers this week. Ridiculously poor management. And where is the Green Bay media in all of this? Why are they not asking these questions?
Complete and total cluster$&@#.

They're basing it on a lot more than you are.
Almost certainly what happens with a collarbone at this point is, if it looks like there's union (it's healing), the doctors will say "you can return to physical activity, but don't fall on it." A collarbone can't be protected with a cast the way a wrist or hand can, and it's probably six months before it'll be back to full strength.

Then Mike "The Pillsbury Doughboy" McCarthy wouldn't get to mess with his opponents game-planning every week.

Yeah, I'm sure that really messed up the Cowboys this week. I mean, really. Once you prepare for Rodgers it's impossible to win a game against Matt #######g Flynn.

Dude, I hear you loud and clear, and I completely agree. But these NFL guys are funny, you know. These are the same dumbasses that would rather waste a timeout trying to ice Nick Novack then save it for the two-minute drive they need to score a TD. They obviously think this subterfuge works, even you, I'm assuming, and I knew Erin Andrews had a better chance starting at QB this weekend than Aaron Rodgers.

Props to you Bankerdude. And as an aside, I love it when a guy pimps his own posts ; )

So other than calling people idiots, what is your take on this issue and how the Packers have managed things? I always hear you take pot shots, but I never actually hear you take a position.
