MM said in his presser that Aaron had the scans this morning but he hadn't heard from the doctors yet. He half jokingly said if McKenzie doesn't tell him by tomorrow he'll be the next guy on IR. :lol:

With all the anticipation of Rodgers coming back, I wonder how the team would deal with it mentally if the answer is "not yet".Quote:

Perhaps they want the surgeon to look at the scans and confirm McKenzie's diagnosis?Quote:

This article starts with things no one said to Rapoport. But then he gets to the nub of the argument:
So its not 100% and had no chance of being 100%. Is it 80%? RapSheet doesn't know. So you are left with two choices, McKenzie is consuming with specialist to see if its truly above 80 everywhere OR the debate about 79-81% is being done at the front office level.Quote:
As Packers doctor Pat McKenzie and other experts evaluate the scan, the decision was described as a "risk/reward" decision. The bone isn't fully healed -- and there was no chance it was going to be after two months. That was the expectation. Typically, 80-percent healed is healthy enough to be on the field. And Rodgers chose a surgical procedure involving two plates and 13 screws as an aggressive way of accelerating healing and protecting his throwing shoulder. It was a success.
My bet is on the former.
FYI, here is what 57.6% looks like:

This is all very interesting. :idea:
Hope they had a great meal.Quote:

If it makes it stronger than it was, there has to be a new weak point. The plates may not fail, but something can.Quote:

Just let this Season play out and allow 100% healing.
That's just my thinking and my IQ and Life is simply about common sense.
The Green Bay Packers are just frankly not a good Football team this year and the NFC is loaded with good football teams.
Why risk Aaron Rodgers for any short term and improbable chance and Playoffs or about 40%; and after that, a miserable one and done once in the Playoffs.
My prediction based on common sense:
Aaron Rodgers is done this Season and there are too many other reasons the Green Bay Packers want it just that way.
Everyone back next Season for another 'Brand New Fresh Start'.

It's hard to take this seriously. Packers were 4-1 with Rodgers. They nearly beat Pittsburgh without him. I get the accumulated injury deal, but that's a problem for everyone. Just ask Philly. You never know what's going to happen. Maybe with Rodgers back, and with a two-headed running game, the Packers could dominate TOP against other teams and protect their defensive-back depleted defense and be totally competitive. If Rodgers is healthy, who knows - maybe he gets as blistering hot as in 2010 and they run a team off the field when they weren't supposed to and it propels them to Championship. Careers are limited, you never want to miss an opportunity, no matter how improbable.Quote:
