Shelve Rodgers for 2018 Talk

Since Aaron Rodgers announced on Instagram/Twitter he has been medically cleared to play, there have been a plethora of thoughts. Most of us are excited for what could come and some are excited he's healthy but want to save him for next season. The latter mentality proves how we take reaching the playoffs for granted.

We don't know what next season will bring us. We could suffer even more injuries next season, we could lose Davante Adams, Morgan Burnett and Corey Linsley to free agency. Maybe the running game surge we've seen over last six games doesn't translate into success in 2018?

Point is, 2018 is full of unknowns.

As for 2017, we know we have three games left and if we win those three wins, it gets us to that 10 win total that Coach McCarthy believes you need before thinking about playoffs. The link posted below says winning those three games gives Packers a 93% chance of making the playoffs.

What team wants to face Aaron Rodgers with a running game and you damn well know Aaron has a chip on his shoulder. We also have seen a nice uptick in production from Clay Matthews and we get (assuming) Nick Perry back this week too. Damarious Randall has also stepped up his game.

And hey, if Vikings lose all three and Packers win all three, Packers win the Division!

GB most likely WILL make the playoffs in 2018 because they will be led by a healthy AR.

If Rodgers can play and sits; it will destroy our 2018 season.

There will be a mutiny; the spirit of this team will be killed!

At least half the players will come into camp in 2018 thinking, "it's every man for himself."

After elimination many will get pissed; but probably only a few will let it affect them in 2018.

So if Rodgers comes back and we get eliminated from contention anyway, do we then shut him down for the remainder?

Even if it is highly unlikely this team has a chance of going deep into the playoffs. Getting all the players experience in playoff games and atmospheres could help next year when we do go to the SB.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Packers are most likely in it as long as they keep winning. You never pass up a chance at a championship, and if Rodgers is playing they have as good a chance as anyone.

Zero2Cool (14h) : Lions are signing QB Jared Goff to a four-year, $212 million extension

Zero2Cool (18h) : I know we moved on. That tidbit just makes me a touch happier.

Zero2Cool (18h) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : I really don't know lol. I don't see him getting blown up.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : -3 buwahhhahaaha

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.

Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though

TheKanataThrilla (3-May) : Packers decline 5th year option for Stokes

Mucky Tundra (3-May) : @ProFootballTalk Jaylen Warren: Steelers' special teams coach has discussed Justin Fields returning kicks.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.
