Aaron Rodgers has ‘a good sense’ of Friday’s answer· Page 2

You guys HAVE to click the link above in the first post and watch the video of Aaron Rodgers. He's deflecting all questions to McCarthy. When asked what needs to be seen medically for him to get clearance via medical, ask McCarthy. And then McCarthy says Rodgers looks ready to play.

I think this is all setting up as a poker face. Make Steelers believe Rodgers will be out there and then trot out Flynn for the win.

I hope that no one was surprised by the fact that this whole situation wasn't resolved yesterday. I think even if they knew already what the decision was going to be, they still would've waited until the last possible moment in order to keep the Steelers guessing. It may be a long shot, but I really hope he gets cleared and plays Sunday.

Yeah, for his stock to rise he would probably have to throw for 460 yards and 6 TDs against a divisional opponent in the last game of the season and we all know that is impossi...hey now there's an idea.

I'm not going to pretend to know how Aaron Rodgers' collarbone is healing. Everybody is trying to play doctor here. You can't do that. Ted Thompson is a very, very cautious man. It’s not surprising that he’d want a cautious doctor making medical decisions.

It’s not the olden days anymore. You can't compare the two. All those tough, older players are now suing the NFL for not looking out for their best interests. The NFL does not want any players 20 or 30 years from now to drop lawsuits on them. The Packers are following a precedent they’ve set along time ago. Are they rushing back Randall Cobb? Have they ever rushed back any player? This is business as usual. It’s only a bigger deal because it’s Aaron Rodgers and he means so much more to the franchise.

No retired player has ever committed suicide from lingering effects of multiple broken collar bones.

Yes, the Packers are more conservative than most teams, but that's just the nature of the current regime. Some praise them for their cautious approach to free agency. Some praise them for their cautious approach in handling injuries to Jermichael Finley and Nick Collins. Where is the Randall Cobb backlash? They take their sweet time clearing everybody. This case is just one of many in their opinion. Personally, I don't like it. I do believe in looking at things on a case-by-case basis, but it doesn’t surprise me to see Green Bay operating in this fashion.

Turns out you are right. Good post.

Why on earth would we get that "poker face" described, letting Pittsburgh think Rodgers will play, then having Flynn start? The other way around might make sense, although I doubt the Steelers have such delicate psyches that they are affected.

Hopefully Rodgers plays, the Packers win out, and this medical clearance nonsense is a thing of the past. If he is not allowed to play, I'd like to see (but would not expect) him to spend part of his $120 million to take out some ads criticizing the idiocy of the league (and you know who in particular) for being so ridiculously hypercautious. Protect him for the off-season? Come on!

I think we have found out why Rodgers hasn't been cleared.

Some injuries can be played with, some cannot. A collarbone is one that cannot be, not today, not 20 years ago. It only takes 7 lbs of pressure to break a completely healthy collarbone. If the bone is not completely healed, it only takes a fraction of that to re-break it. Any fall on that shoulder would be likely to re-break it, and have the break be even more severe.
