A broken thumb doesn't make a difference? How does that work? Is he trying to insult himself by saying he would suck with a working thumb?

If he can't get the ball to the flat on a screen play, he should take a seat.

He does this every time he's injured. Blows it off as nothing during season. Then casually during the off-season will say how no one knew how bad it was.

He’s not making any excuses but somehow everyone still bitches about it. 

It’s a lose-lose for him.

I love bitching as much as the next guy but is there really someone that would say a broken thumb is an excuse for the QB? The kicker maybe but the QB kind of needs a functioning hand and collar bone to be effective. Maybe this is a consequence of dealing with the shadow of Favre who also played a season with a messed up thumb.

It's all about the optics and no he hasn't made it an excuse and actually was saying nothing was wrong with it. The main question I have is has he been on the last injury report every week since the Giants game and if not is that a violation seeing they knew he had a broken thumb? BY putting him on the IR then they will bring him back next year because he was ummmm injured, yes I know hes under contract, just thinking out loud
 
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

    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.
