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!!!

Mucky Tundra (21h) : I may end up eating those words but I think they need a lot more talent then their 4 picks can provide

Mucky Tundra (21h) : I really hope they stand pat and Draft a WR

Mucky Tundra (21h) : @DMRussini

Mucky Tundra (21h) : The Chicago Bears are very open for business at 9 and telling teams they are ready to move for the right price, per source

buckeyepackfan (24-Apr) : Lions extend Penei Soul 4yrs - 112mil

buckeyepackfan (24-Apr) : Lions extend St. Brown 4 years 120mil and

Mucky Tundra (24-Apr) : Now look, trading up to 13 to take a TE might not seem like a good idea later but it will be later!

dfosterf (24-Apr) : (Your trade up mock post)

dfosterf (24-Apr) : Mucky- The only thing fun to watch would be me flipping the f out if Gute goes up to 13 and grabs Brock Bowers, lol

Martha Careful (23-Apr) : IMHO, not even close. He is not a guy you game play around.

Mucky Tundra (23-Apr) : is Aiyuk worth a 1st rounder?

Zero2Cool (23-Apr) : 49ers are seeking a 1st round pick in exchange for WR Brandon Aiyuk

Mucky Tundra (22-Apr) : Based on Gutes comments, now I don't feel as silly having 13 picks in my mock the other day

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Zach Wilson to Broncos.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Gutekunst says he'd love to have 13 or 14 picks. He's trading back huh lol

beast (22-Apr) : Someday we'll have a draft betting scandal

beast (21-Apr) : Sometimes looking extremely amazing, sometimes looking extremely lost

beast (21-Apr) : I haven't looked into the QBs, but some have suggested Maye has some of the most extremely inconsistent tape they've seen

beast (21-Apr) : Well it also sounds like Patriots are listening to trade offers, not that seriously considering any, but listening means they aren't locked

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Maye needs to be AFC

Mucky Tundra (21-Apr) : Not liking the idea of the Vikings getting Maye

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Vikings HC joked that he may or may not have sent flowers to Bob Kraft. That's where rumor came from.

beast (21-Apr) : Can't tell if this is real or BS, but some rumors about a possible Patriots/Vikings trade for #3 overall

dfosterf (21-Apr) : One playbook to my knowledge. I was shooting for facetious.

beast (20-Apr) : I'm not sure they have different playbooks for different OL positions, and Dillard run blocking is supposedly worse than his pass blocking..

dfosterf (19-Apr) : The only problem with that is he isn't a guard either.

dfosterf (19-Apr) : Put him at right guard. That is where he will be coached. That is where he will compete. He is not even allowed to look at the LT playbook.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Kidding aside, I hope the best for him.
