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.

wpr (10h) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
