Listening to the press conference with Joe Philbin and someone mentioned Aaron Rodgers needing knee surgery. Anyone else hear anything about this?

Figures!
Just figures!
Why did the Packers give him that contract when they didn't have to.
What a horrendous mistake.
That contract will be a millstone around the Packers neck for years.

If it was known he needed knee surgery after Week 1, then I'm going to have to change my tune and say they should have shut him down probably half way through the season ... around the time we lost to Seahawks and Vikings. That'd be the time to shut him down.

"Postgame scrum"? That's a weird term for a press conference I've never heard before.

- Thats cheating ZTC. We all have to make decisions with imperfect information.
- The knee thing is probably a clean out. You can't move like that (v Jets) with major damage.
- Regardless, WITH THE BENEFIT OF 20/20 HINDSIGHT, many of us were right when we said he should not have played v Jets (and Lions)

Lots of injuries are of the type where its more of a pain management thing than anything else and playing on it will not make it worse. If they knew he would need surgery but playing wouldn't make it worse I have no problem with the decision to play him.

If playing in those games made it worse and now he needs surgery then it was stupid to allow him to play.
