"The night is darkest before the dawn," Rodgers, 39, wrote on his Instagram account Wednesday afternoon, his first comments since the injury. "And I shall rise yet again."Originally Posted by sharpe1027
Is he channeling his inner Winston Churchill or something? WTF was that?

The phrase "the night is the darkest before dawn" was first written by an English theologian. Rodgers may have a bit of a Jesus complex going on here.

Maybe more a Vincent Van Gogh fan:
Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.

He is a QB artist, afterall and much like Van Gogh, completely full of himself.
Or maybe a fan of the Dark Knight?

What he says is no longer my concern. I'm good with that.
15 years of people telling you how great you are will do that to a complicated fella.
I think Rodgers will use everything he can as a chip on his shoulder to rehab his way back. Whether his body can agree with his mind on the rehab is another story.
I'm sure the Jets will do what they can to help, although I wouldn't let his conspiracy kook pals on the medical team. If Rodgers retires the Jets have a cap mess on their hands.
Even if he makes it back I'm not sure what that injury will do to his ability in the pocket or accuracy - the legs are a pretty important part that. I guess we'll find out.
He'll inject himself into the limelight via McAfee and social media (and maybe try to land a gig as a color guy while rehabbing, you never know); he's got an ego and has easy access to the NYC media market.
His injury is bad for the jets and the NFL in general (and the Packer's losing out on a R1 pick) but I'm sure he'll still get exposure, whether it's thru his rehab or some other nonsense.
I've moved on because he's not on the Packers.

Physician, heal thyself!
Brady had an ACL injury. Rodgers had one of those before he turned pro. Rodgers has had a couple of collarbone injuries which could be problematic if they are your throwing side. He had that one year where it was probably a broken leg or something with his knee. Anyway, an Achilles injury is more severe than an ACL in this day and age for NFL pros.
Another thing to consider: by nature of Rodgers' play style, he has taken way more sacks and hits than Brady did. That counts for something. As players age they get hurt more easily and enjoy those hits less and less.
Finally, Brady's career is an absolute unicorn unless you can prove otherwise. He's so far out there as an outlier, using him as a measuring stick for any QB older than 35 is going to have tons of caveats. You're better off looking at other QBs who have had good enough careers to be starting past age 35. That list is growing because of the passing game rules, but there is a steep decline in performance and equally steep increase in injuries around that age.
LMAO
Haha, seeing his cocky smug grill on Jesus is too much

I'm kind of confused by all the Rodgers hate. When Favre left he was an all time selfish asshole and people on this site were worshipping him. Rodgers wasn't even in the ballpark of prickness and everyone hates on him. People never cease to baffle me.
I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
This. 100%
Hate is a strong word. Not worshiping him as a person and fine that he left, sure.
Maybe cuz Brett left after 13-3 and had a great season excluding the last game?
What makes you the expert on if Rodgers is a jerk? I got to see it first hand the year he took over, 2008. He will always be a champion and former Packers QB. No one is wishing away the good times and you aren’t baffled you just want to be prickish. Like what I did there.
Didn't you kind of answer your own question there??Maybe cuz Brett left after 13-3 and had a great season excluding the last game?

There is nothing confusing or baffling about the widespread dislike of Rodgers the past 3 years. Plenty of people remain admirers, but you've read the criticisms a thousand times.
If there is any mystery it is why it took so long for Arod's full assholery to emerge. Guess he was a late bloomer.
Maybe when he kicked his great buddy Jason wilde to the curb that was an early warning. That and the baby seal clubbing.
Hate? I just posted a picture of him looking like Jesus!

Brett Favre was a lot more likeable and the every man. Rodgers comes off as a weird dude to the every man. I still like both.
