Nothing matters more in Green Bay this season than keeping quarterback Aaron Rodgers on the field. “Always,” said offensive coordinator Edgar Bennett. “Love to,” added associate head coach Tom Clements.

This injury issue is a polite euphemism for "he's beginning to age."

Why post this? What fan of NFL football doesn't know this?

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

In the strictest sense, everybody is aging all the time, but if the meaning is "beginning to show aging", no. I don't see it, and I'd be extremely surprised to see that in an early 30s conventional drop back QB.

Based on P. Mannng, Brady, Favre, Elway, Marino, a lot of others now, and a lot of others farther back, Rodgers ought to have a minimum of five more peak years - barring serious injury, of course.

True, age affects everyone. I don't think ANYONE is as resilient at age 30 as they were at age 24. That said, guys like Rodgers work hard to stay healthy and "limber". I agree with Tex that he has at least 5 more good years in him.
A bad injury can take out ANY player at ANY age. We have seen that with Packer players throughout the last several years.

Avoiding a bad injury is the goal of any person, but sometimes it's out of our hands.

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

beast (17-Dec) : Thanks Zero2Cool, looks a lot better now

beast (17-Dec) : Seems like someone has a crush on me, can't stop talking about me
