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.

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."

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.

With age comes decreased resiliency to injury, having to work harder to maintain muscle mass which leads to increased strain, etc. I don't think his age is a major factor in his health, but it's more of a factor than when he was 23.

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.
