GREEN BAY, Wis. -- If the Green Bay Packers were thinking about holding out quarterback Aaron Rodgers for the rest of the season just to be safe with their franchise quarterback, it might be time for them to change their approach.

For the record, Packers coach Mike McCarthy said back on Dec. 3 that the possibility of shutting down Rodgers for the season had not even been discussed.

However, if the Packers wanted to do so without making it look like that was the approach, they could simply continue on the path they've been on with him for the last couple of weeks -- which is to let Rodgers keep practicing on a limited basis but not clear him medically.

Frankly I agree, although I'm more worried about the run D than I am the QB position.

I think Flynn's been adequate.

Sorry, but it is impossible to push the envelope with a broken collar bone. I find this article kind of stupid. IF the packers were going to do this, well, they never have even hinted at Rodgers not coming back to play EVER. Any speculation has been 100% fabricated by the media.

IF you wanted to make up something to write an article about, this is how it is done.

Its a collarbone, there is no way of protecting it, not extra padding or brace or club can be put on it. And until the break is completely healed, the risk of injury is very great. Once it is healed, there is NO greater risk than any other player.

Agreed 100%. Furthermore, do you think the Packers, the organization, the league, or a hobo living under a rock didn't already realize that when in the driver's seat for playoff contention, you should try to put your best foot forward?

As you said, very lazy journalism.

Yeah, it's a collarbone - just a collarbone, not career-threatening. If he plays, and heaven forbid, he does get it rebroke, he has the whole off-season to heal.

PLAY HIM! If he gets reinjured, it's no worse than losing out at some point by not playing him. This would seem obvious.

And as for that run D, let us get 2 or 3 touchdowns ahead with Rodgers playing, and just watch that run D improve.

On subject: I'm anxious to see what the scan shows this week. From what we've heard it feels like Rodgers was very close this last week. Let's hope this "push the envelope" talk is a moot point by midweek.
