Giddyup. This is the type of non-vague indicator Rodgers himself might want out I've been waiting for. My excitement for the upcoming offseason of possibilities just tripled reading that.
I like this report The Athletic's Diana Russini reported Saturday, citing sources, that is is "increasingly likely" that Rodgers could be placed on injured reserve or benched over the next few weeks. Russini also reported that sources around the NFL wouldn't be surprised if Rodgers is cut at some point during the regular season.
Sure there is. He had a big part in building the team. Why should he get to bail on it while everyone else has to finish it out? He was also a huge part of the marketing for this season. I'd be willing to bet that there are some people who bought tickets for games later in the year expecting to see him play. He should be out there with everyone else if he's not actually injured.
I agree, but also disagree. Obviously it’s been a terrible 11 games. The team is out of the playoffs. The Head Coach is gone. The General Manager is gone. It’s best to see what the young guys have down the stretch. The only problem? The Jets don’t have young guys. Tyrod Taylor is the back-up and I doubt Jordan Travis is healthy. Rodgers is the best chance to win, but does the team even want to win? Who knows. I do agree he shouldn’t be released or placed on IR though. If they start Taylor, he should still be QB2. It’s a mess though. There is no right answer.
yeah but we get screwed no matter what. I do think the release speculation is a little much. But a phantom IR designation is more likely
I slapped down some decent coin (for me) to plan a family trip to the game in Jacksonville. My own Rodgers criticism factor aside the kids would certainly be seriously bummed and not as excited about going if he's not playing. I also wouldn't of bought those tickets knowing that beforehand.
