Aaron not playing in the preseason games.
Nothing to see here. Move along.

They should scrap the preseason all together. Have a couple of practice scrimmages during TC then go straight to the real season.

Also , without the preseason games and the revenue that it makes for the teams/league , contracts would be a lot smaller , charities would not benefit from the games , and we (the fans) would have to wait even longer to see football following the end of the last season .

Can't stand this crap, if they can risk other starters who have a more likely chance of actually getting hurt, put the snowflake QBs in for a series or two.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

If Jordy goes down they can cobble together 2-3 other players to pick up the slack. Or at least most of it. If Bakhtiari goes down they can leave a TE or RB in to help block.

Same for the defense, they can adjust the scheme a little to compensate.

Without Aaron this team is screwed. It's already been proven.

I really don't see how much good it would do to play ARod more than what they do in the 3rd game. First of all most teams plan to play their starters for at least awhile in the 3rd game so he would be going up against a legit defense. Playing him in game 1, 2, or 4 he would probably be going up against guys just trying to make a team.
Secondly, McCarthy isn't going to show his hand on what his plans are when the real season starts. So Arod and the starting offense goes out there and they run generic plays that they won't be running when it counts and that against lesser talent. What's he going to get out of that?
IMO the pre-season just doesn't offer a platform to get Rodgers sharper or more real game ready than all that they are doing now leading up to the season. It may help some teams that have two QB's fighting to become the starter that are far less talented and experienced who will get plenty of PT during pre-season but I would take him over that scenario all day.
