Don't jump to conclusions. It would be stupid of them to have him out there winging passes around on Wednesday after a shoulder injury no matter how good it felt.

Why would the Packers let Rodgers throw in front of the media?

I wouldn't put a lot into that.

Although I do have my doubts on whether or not he can throw with a sprained shoulder.

i don't think it's going to be up to Rodgers regarding whether or not he plays. I think he'd play no matter what. if mccarthy doesn't think he's healthy enough, he won't play.

I know some if not all will say I'm being naive or idiotic with this theory, but here goes nothing...

I've listened to what coaches would do to trick other teams. Things like hiring 'spies' to watch the upcoming teams practices or practicing out in the cold and letting the media know it trying to psyche out the other team. Just lots of things like that. Coaches do whatever they can to get an edge, thats the name of the game.

Word on the street by the national media is Aaron is injury prone. Why not use that to your advantage? Play into that! Have Rodgers throw some passes, see how he feels and YANK him saying he couldn't finish.

How does this benefit the Packers? Remember I said that you never show your enemy you are in pain? BINGO. It's a mind phuck! When you ARE in pain, you hide it. If you can parlay pain into an advantage, you do it.

Don't think for a second that teams don't know that Flynn and Brohm won't win games for us. They seen them play in the pre season. You can't fake BAD.


With an opposing defense thinking our QB is hurt they are likely to come STRONG so you plan for that. Just like you plan for it against teams like the Eagles who you know blitz a lot. You use that to your advantage.

Of course, this could backfire because you're showing blood to essentially an animal and we all know that once an animal senses blood they go hardcore.



What it comes down to is... after listening to McCarthy the last few years and putting things together... Aaron will play. I said that he would be limited in practice and would practice Friday, not a full practice though. It wasn't exactly a BOLD prediction, but its coming true and you will see.

Aaron Rodgers WILL play against the Falcons and he WILL throw for TWO TD's and we WILL win the game. Mark my words. Bookmark this thread and come back to it in four days. 🙂

Zero,

I don't think he was yanked because McCarthy and company are trying to create the idea that Rodgers can't play through pain as a trick.

I think Rodgers is hurting right now. He's only a few days removed from the injury and only a day removed from rehabbing. I don't think McCarthy wants Rodgers out there in front of the public showing his pain. Teams could see that and if they feel this shoulder is as bad as I'm sure a lot of Packer fans are having nightmares of, teams could take a cheap shot.

I'm not saying Atlanta is like that, but it's football and in the moment you do what instinct tells you.

My guess is he'll play. He'll throw 15-20 passes and the running game will have to prove it's worth this week.
