I've longed argued that Rodgers being labeled injury prone is inaccurate. Primarily due to he's never missed a start due to injury. Secondly because he played an entire half with a broken bone in his foot against a team that knocked out the NFL's ironman. It was a broken bone, not much can be done about that. Thirdly, people bring up that he was hurt during the Cowboys game, thats not true. He tweaked his hamstring during the final play of the final practice AFTER the Cowboys game and he and the coaches said if he was the starter, he'd have played the following week. Instead of risking their future QB, they brought in Craig Nall so Rodgers could rest it and heal for the future.


Which brings me to this post. Anyone who wants to question Rodgers toughness has not watched any Packers game this year. If this loss has shown me anything, its shown me that Rodgers is one tough son of a bitch. I don't recall another time where I seen a QB get smacked around so many times and harassed so consistently and still get up like nothing happened.




It's only a little more than half a season, but I for one believe Rodgers is showing he's one tough bastard. The true test will be if he can continue this for ten years.

I'm just saying, those who say he's glass Rodgers, need to shut the truck up.

Amen Zero! It just shows the sheep mentality that most people fall prey to, if it's repeated enough it becomes the truth!

So true the other thing I like yes he has taken sacks,in this game but zero interceptions, that part I think he is doing well with they don't give him a chance really to throw it away.I hope he gets healthy come sunday

He took a pounding yesterday. I was impressed.

His mental toughness could be improved a bit though. You could see his game fall apart after he got happy feet from getting hit so much, hurrying passes, not running the offense at its usual tempo.

I love Rodgers but no man can live for 10 seasons with the protection he got from yesterday's line.

Nah but his a hell of a fighter and tough guy !!! If this we're alex smith he'd be dead 🙂

a classic Aaron rogers quote\r\n\r\nquote: \"I\'ve got a roommate, a guy I met in town. He works for the Packers now as an athletic trainer....He\'s been great for me...Our friendship goes a lot deeper than what we do. \"

I think there's a certain distinction that needs to be made.

Rodgers certainly had his fair share of injuries in his short career, so it'd be wrong to say he doesn't get injured often. However, what is more important is how Rodgers is able to play through the pain and not let it affect his game too much. In the end, this is what matters, the consistent form regardless of any injuries sustained. It's nice to never get injured but that is more to do with chance and physiology, which is hard to control. What Rodgers can control is his tolerance to pain and his playing form - and he's shown to be quite good in this regard.

I'm surprised he is still in one piece. It hurt me to watch.

Good damn thing he has composure.. if I was him.. Sunday I would have grabbed a hold of a few of the olines face masks and been barking in their collective ears.. give me a little freaking time.

It shows that Rodgers has had good coaching. He knows not to bark at the linemen during the game.

However, when he and the linemen go out to dinner, or he holds a grillout party at his house for the linemen, in more private surroundings, I am positive he lets 'em have it...

Cetainly, there is no question the oline may have played its worst game of the year.

The Vikings game SHOULD have been a gimme.

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.
beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.
Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st
Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm
Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.
beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.
beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."
beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less
beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.
Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays
Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley
Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.
Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”
Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though

Mucky Tundra (3-May) : @ProFootballTalk Jaylen Warren: Steelers' special teams coach has discussed Justin Fields returning kicks.
Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face
Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.
dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that
dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.
Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)
Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage
beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position
dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.
dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.
Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl
Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.
dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left
dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!
packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold
Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol
