Is Rodgers to blame for his injury?

Yes I am victim blaming.

Look at these two pictures. I looks to me like Rodgers is wearing pads with next to no protection compared to Brady. Is giving up protection so he is less hampered in passing worth the risk to injury? I'm guessing that he will have more protection right away if he is able to come back and play this year. But should the team look and require him to wear bigger shoulder pads to protect him and their investment more?

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Interesting post PFWT.

GB took some criticism last year w/ Jordy and CM3 out with shoulder injuries and these guys wearing smaller pads and those smaller pads weren't XTECH. Dont know what they're wearing.

A lot of guys in the league are wearing XTECH... and many rave that can can take harder hit with them...shortly no will be wearing those big pads, they dont provide any more protection than XTECH.

That said Rodgers did cause his own injury because he tried to break his fall sticking his right arm out.

There is a fallacy to your theory PFWT. Aaron isn't wearing pads at all. 🤣

Seriously they will not make him change.

You know who is really to blame is 1. Bob McGinn and 2. Whoever it was that refused his request for accreditation.

Pads will protect against a direct blow, but they're not going to protect against the mechanism of injury in this case: falling onto an outstretched arm.

The fault lies with whomever decided to put three Aaron's in the same backfield... they should of known, backfields can't handle that much Aaron'ness!

He's a gamer and makes his living out of the pocket. I'm surprised he hasn't gotten injured more often, quite frankly.

He wasn't really outstretched, Woody was when he broke his in the SB. it was that he come down on the backside of the shoulder where there really isn't any protection. I don't know if different pads would make a difference, now he isn't the only QB to break a collarbone, but he has broken both of them. It could be that the new pads are concentrating to much on impact protection and not against bending impact like this was.
