Law 220 Posted December 13, 2017 Not sure I agree with the risk if I'm Green Bay. He was out longer when it was his non-throwing shoulder. Now they may trot him out there after a long lay off and at Carolina? GB has some nice receivers, but that OLine still sucks. Nothing like risking the franchise on the slim chances of a 7 and 6 team with @Caroline and then Minnesota and @Detroit to try to make the playoffs. Team just isn't strong enough to take the risk. Rodgers on Twitter: "It's been a long road from that day to this, but I'm happy to say I've been medically cleared to return," Rodgers announced Tuesday night. "Thanks for all the love, support, prayers, and well wishes over the past 8 weeks." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
murf74 461 Posted December 13, 2017 So who do you start him over? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DamageIncVacc 6 Posted December 13, 2017 There are only a few you start over Rodgers. Ben, Wilson, Rivers and Cam (Wentz would have been on that list) . Other then those guys Rodgers is a start. I have Rivers so will keep riding him but if I did not I would start Rodgers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canadianfan 76 Posted December 13, 2017 As always depends on other options. Not sure I agree with the risk if I'm Green Bay. He was out longer when it was his non-throwing shoulder. Now they may trot him out there after a long lay off and at Carolina? GB has some nice receivers, but that OLine still sucks. Nothing like risking the franchise on the slim chances of a 7 and 6 team with @Caroline and then Minnesota and @Detroit to try to make the playoffs. Team just isn't strong enough to take the risk. Rodgers on Twitter: "It's been a long road from that day to this, but I'm happy to say I've been medically cleared to return," Rodgers announced Tuesday night. "Thanks for all the love, support, prayers, and well wishes over the past 8 weeks." Not sure where you’re getting your facts, he missed 7 weeks with his left clavicle, 8 weeks with his right. Also, the Green Bay Dr is one of the most cautious out there. He wouldn’t just throw him out there if he didn’t think the clavicle can handle another hit. Rodgers is 33, the clock is ticking, he can’t keep on throwing away seasons and hoping for the next year. The NFC is wide open this year especially since Wentz got hurt. Any one team going into the playoffs has a chance. Green bays playoff chance is actually quite good if (big if) they run the table. I’ve looked at scenarios.

Law 220 Posted December 13, 2017 Well, as long as you've looked at scenarios! As far as winning out - @Carolina, Minnesota, and @Detroit. And even winning out, they are currently 2 games behind Carolina and 1 game behind both Atlanta and Seattle while tied with Detroit and Dallas. Just a quite review of that would mean GB would have to win out, have Carolina lose 2 of 3, Atlanta and Seattle both lose at least 1, and hope for best with respect to tie-breakers. That's a LOT to happen just to get in. But hey, you've looked at scenarios so there is that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aggiewildlife 0 Posted December 13, 2017 Starting him over Rivers. I too have both Rivers and Rodgers (and Goff), and as of this moment, I'm thinking of going with Rivers just because I feel his floor is more certain than that of Rodgers after a long absence. I may change my mind at some point, but that's where I stand as of now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Simms 11 127 Posted December 13, 2017 It is a really tough call with Cam possible of a monster game at any time. Rodgers has been practicing since last week though, so not buying the rust. Just going to go with Rodgers based on the years of excellence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bpephin 0 Posted December 13, 2017 Going with Rodgers over Goff and Garoppolo, match up wise tempted to risk Garoppolo. But real hard to sit Rodgers. (game is to get to the Superbowl, underdog, so going to hope on Rodgers magic) Does this also bring J.Nelson back into the picture? Over T.Hill playing the Chargers? I hate overthinking playoff starts. grrrrrr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BobSanders_33 127 Posted December 13, 2017 Have Rodgers and Burger in both leagues. I'm also going against Brown in both leagues so I'm playing Burger. If I win going into 16 I think Rodgers is going to flame the Vikings for revenge so I will roll him out then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crystal Meth Tweekers 26 Posted December 13, 2017 I picked him up in all 4 leagues. I am starting him over these QB's A.Smith twice and Stafford. I think I will start Big Ben over him but he's sizzling right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's a LOT to happen just to get in. But hey, you've looked at scenarios so there is that. Do you actually think that a franchise as conservative as the Green Bay packers didn't do their due dilegence before making this decision? I think they have a little more information than you and know their probabilitie of making the playoffs. One of Carolina or Atlanta have to lose 2. If Green Bay wins this week that's one for Carolina. Atlanta loses in New Orleans in two weeks, that's one for Atlanta. Carolina plays Atlanta last week of season. There's the 2nd loss. As far as Seattle, they could easily lose this week to the Rams. If not they'll lose to Dallas in two weeks with Zeke back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canadianfan 76 Posted December 13, 2017 Go look at the Vegas futures for Green Bay winning the superbowl They're 25-1.... Guess who else is 25-1.............Kansas City Vegas has also done their math. Rodgers is a football player, a competitor .

DaBeerz 88 Posted December 18, 2017 Packers will sit him down the rest of the season. I like that he tried to come back to save the season, but no sense risking re-injury to a top QB in the league in meaningless games. Shut him down, evaluate your newer players and come back better next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought it too risky to play him when they were a long shot but they dodged a bullet. If you read the whole thread, that's exactly why I posted interesting. I said the same, but some people had "scenarios" that said GB was a real contender and there was no risk to Rodgers. That's interesting because they turned out to not be a contender with that added loss and there must be some risk to Rodgers as they shut him down. They needed to win out and get a LOT of help. They didn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Simms 11 127 Posted December 20, 2017 It was minimal risk of re-injury with potential for him needing a second surgery as the scenario if re-broken. But if eliminated no reason to take that minor risk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
