Rodger's injury· Page 5

There is something that I think most fans are missing. After reading posts here and on other sites it seems that most fans equate Rodgers starting the game with playing 100% of the offensive snaps. That is not necessarily the case.

Even if Aaron is only at 40% of his ability (I think he is probably closer to 65-70%) he IS going to start. His leadership, track record and determination won't allow for anything less than at least giving it a try. It doesn't matter if it's Minneysoda or the 2017 Brownies. Aaron is a winner and he will try to play no matter what. Well the one exception would be in week 16-17 if GB already had home field advantage locked up.

He will only come out of the game if he proves to be highly ineffective because of his knee, the defense proves to be oppressive or if he is injured even more.

Over the years there have been 100s and 1000s of examples of players coming out and giving it a try. GB fans only have to look back to Brett and his hideously bad thumb. Some like me would say he wanted the streak more than the GB win. To some degree it might be true but in reality Brett was sure he was the best chance for a GB win even with his injured thumb.

Aaron will start. The real question is will he be able to come back out for the 2nd half. It's no longer about money. He has his big payday. He has nothing left to prove other than to himself and he is highly motivativated to push himself further than anyone else can push him.

I do believe that he is however a most competitive and honorable man. Also, I believe that he will do/say all that he can to convince a more than willing HC & GM to believe that he is well enough to play (even if he is not). I just hope that unlike so many here in this forum, that GB's HC & GM are professional enough to make this play/not play decision with the best interest of the team in mind and are responsible enough to stand behind the decision that they must make. God help then if they start Rodgers and he gets seriously injured.

I also don’t believe Rodgers is concerned about losing his job. I also believe what Smokey says about Rodgers being competitive.
Rodgers knows his window of opportunity to win another super bowl is closing, and he wants to win.
He got his payday, and I think he wants to show everyone that he deserved it.

Personally, I'd rather Rodgers not play against the Vikings. It's a long season and this is only Week 2. I'd rather him have another week to recover for the rest of the season. Plus the Vikings defense is filled with a bunch of beasts... Rodgers is gonna get hit. I understand it's a division game, but I'd rather take the L this week instead of risking Rodgers getting put down and taking L's the rest of the season.

Plus I have third row seats for the game next week against the Redskins.... I wanna see Rodgers out there, not Kizer lol

We all have one look on the outside that's similar, yet, in the mind of the individual there's deep insecurity that's channeled as motivation. Something else about Favre and what motivated him was his desire to not let his teammates down.

Adam Schefter says mo ligament damage. Jay glazer says deep bone bruise with a ligament sprain and his knee is much worse than people think. But he will be playing today.

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.
