All this talk of benching Rodgers because we can't/probably can't win reminds me what my mother does if the Packers are getting blown out - she'll say "Why do they even keep playing?!". My response is basically my dad's to my mom - a frustrated/sarcastic "Yeah, why don't we all just go home."

Rodgers is 100% healed. Why do I know this? Imagine if Rodgers DOES get hurt again and it comes out that he WASN'T fully healed. Lawsuits, pitchforks and torches, and a lot of firings. If you're willing to keep a 100% healed Rodgers benched because you're afraid he will suffer an injury just because we're out of playoff contention - we might as well just forfeit because we don't need anybody else getting hurt either. If we're in a game and it's out of hand (either for or against us) and it's the 4th quarter? Sure.

You play to WIN.
Rodgers, as I see it, is proving himself as a true leader by putting aside his own self and being willing to go out and give us a shot.
You think the other guys in the locker room don't see that?
It could influence not just this season, but future seasons, and maybe even free agents out there that see his willingness to put it all out there for the team.

Aaron cares IMMENSELY about his life after football.

Besides, Mike and Ted need their meal ticket for employment for many more years to come so they wouldn't risk the man for that.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

I don't disagree with this.

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.

beast (27-Apr) : OL – Donovan Jennings, USF OT – Trente Jones, Michigan

TheKanataThrilla (27-Apr) : Interesting draft. A bit shocked that we didn't select an early CB. Definitely have Safety help. Pretty happy overall.

dhazer (27-Apr) : wow the last 2 picks are really stupid and probably will be special teams players Top 10 draft pick next year book it

TheKanataThrilla (27-Apr) : I think he ended up with a terrible RAS score

dhazer (27-Apr) : Anyone know what went on with Kitchens from Florida? At 1 point he was to be the Packers 1st round and he is way down the board now
