What about just sitting Aaron for the last two games, or let him play the first half?

It makes sense on paper....

Nothing to play for but pride.

Chico is not 100%

Flynn needs game snaps.

Would be nice to see how Brohm has developed.

Your thoughts............

Tough call. I really just base it on health. If he isn't healthy enough to play, then sit him. I will let the medical staff and coaches make that call. Otherwise, if the game goes out of hand then yeah give it to Flynn or Brohm. I fear their development though, because if the coaches have not been able to coach up the players who are playing, how can we expect these backups to be any different. We shall see... 🙂

For Rodgers health, I would absolutely agree with you. Since I am from Chicago and going to the last game of the season, I would have to disagree with you...haha.

I want the Packers to crush all chances of the Bears going to the playoffs. I also do not want the Packers to be the first team to lose to the Lions. Taking Rodgers out blows both of these chances.

Said it right after Sunday's game someplace on here.. if he isn't 100% then sit him for the remainder of the season and begin the healing process of his shoulder.

We have a large contract and the next couple years of the franchise tied to him.. if it isn't right the choice should be easy.

See what you have in Flynn and Brohm and get them some playing time and experience. Something tells me they will be the backups come next season again.. might as well season them.

Start tinkering with the Oline as well.

Playing in Chicago against a Bears team fighting for a playoff spot is priceless experience, in my opinion. And hell, both games are against divisional opponents he is going to play twice every year.

He needs to learn and get better. Play him.

Play him. These two last games are still important, playoffs or not. They're divisional foes, and I always want to sweep the Bears.

The kid's got all offseason to get his shoulder right, and I'd like to see him start every game this season.

That's like putting a butter bar in charge when you have an experienced 1st Lt. already running the platoon. No thanks... Sorry for what might seem like an esoteric analogy, but imo they are playing at my game, not the other way around.

I say no way. These players are warriors. They really are. They live and die with each win and loss. Benching Aaron, for whatever reason, cannot be a positive thing, especially at this early point in his career. For all the crap we heard before the season, i think it's important for him to actually play a full season. Whatever lingering injury he has, he'll have a full off-season to recover; an extra two weeks won't make a difference. Good question RP. I'm sure it will start some positive conversation, which was probably your intent. I hope you're doing well, bud.

Well if the Lt is recovering from injuries, say getting clocked over the head with a bottle of cold duck, and isn't 100% and may be risking additional injuries because of it.. well then on might reconsider the thought. :lol:

Especially if it is just a field drill verses marching in harms way.

    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) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

    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) : 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 (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
