The medical field is like all fields. We have some very brilliant people and some dolts. Like too much of life the dolts end up as bureaucrats and making most of the broad policy.
I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
The talking heads at ESPN were debating whether the Jest should try to find another QB. Zach Wilson is clearly way, way over his head.
But who the hell is out there that would be worth pursuing?
I wonder if Rodgers is secretly smirking that the Jest are lost without him, or if he's thinking "Geez, my puppet Hackett might be fired, so I hope they win a few games." Or both.

Would you rather have a 40 year old Rodgers with a torn Achilles or Love and two seconds?

Tough call. Love can maybe get one play done with only two seconds.
Good one.
Getting back to my previous post, I do wonder how much sway Rodgers really, really holds over the organization. Does Woodhead Johnson hang onto Saleh and Hackett next year, even if this year goes completely in the pooper, because Rodgers wants them back when he comes back? Does Saleh have to wonder if Rodgers really wants him there, or is it just Hackett?
Could Woodhead really fire Hackett and have Rodgers be okay with that, if the offense can't produce at all this year? Would the Jest fire Saleh but tell any new head coach he has to keep Hackett so Rodgers is happy? (Shades of the MLF hiring with Mike Pettine.) Would Saleh be willing to dump a defensive coordinator as a scape goat, but keep Hackett, just to keep his job?
These are the kinds of headaches you get when you get Aaron Rodgers. Even when he's injured and out, he's still a heavy weight on the decision making of the brass.
You can have that.

I'd take Jordan Love and 2 R2 picks over a 40 yo QB with a torn Achilles.
Rodgers may come back and possibly do so with a vengeance, but his best days are far behind him. Very few 40 QBs have thrown more than 100 passes in the NFL.
Love for sure.
C.H.U.D.
Hackett, Saleh, etc. probably have years left on their contracts, Woody will keep them if Rodgers comes back. I think even if Rodgers doesn't and they get to 6-7 wins they could be back but with a new R1 QB to replace Zach. Their defense is pretty good and they have talent at skill positions...just not at QB.

He was already losing accuracy and scrambling ability. We all saw it last year
That’s not gonna get better with this injury, no matter how experimental it is
He’ll be 40 coming off a massive injury that impacts your mobility
I bet he fights his way back, if no other reason the collecting that paycheck, but he isn’t going to better then what he was last season
Reminder: last season he never cracked 300 yards and only threw for 3 TDs once - vs. Dallas.
In NFL-time, he'll be a long time removed from that, never mind his MVP seasons.
Wait, 2 seconds? I guess Love ain’t Black enough, cos, the Blacks are stereotypically known for their reproduction powers.
To answer your question, IF I were a chick or a queer, I’d take a 40 year old man, even one with a torn Achilles (which ain’t in any shape, form, matter or anti-matter a reproduction organ) any night of the week over some sensitive fuck who can’t last more 2 fucking seconds.

I'm not going to stop the wheel. I'm going to break the wheel.
APB, we all pretty much got a schtick in here; I get that. But yours is getting so old it's crusty. You're supposedly a too-old-to-be-flipping-burgers burger flipper, and your "cool cool" hip-hop and music references are now old and worn out, as are your comments about black and white players. Jesus, your "hip hop safety" Harrison Smith is fucking 34 years old now. You know that, right?

I'm curious now. What's my schtick?
Whatever it is, it's good
Being reasonable and solid.

You're . . . Sharpe.
Getting back to Arod in this thread, I heard it floated on Detroit sports radio yesterday that maybe the Vikes could hook up with the Jest and trade Cousins over there, so the Jest can salvage their season. Apparently, some of the defensive players are getting annoyed at how protective Long Tall Saleh has been of Zach Wilson. They all know if they played defense like he plays offense, they'd be benched and bitched at. So there's unrest in the Big Asshole.
And Minny would have an interest in getting rid of Cousins.
But do the Jest have to run that by ol' Aaron first, make sure he's cool with it?
Or if they don't, or if he's cool with it, since Cousins is in the last year of a contract, what if Cousins plays really well? Do the Jest dare to offer him a contract and call the Aaron experiment a failed one?
Again: the joys of having an aging HOF quarterback...

Same as most of us. Make outlandish claims then never admit when you're wrong. Its entertaining and harmless. Tex is the true master of it though, the rest of us are mere padowans.

I tend to be pretty boring in my claims.
Not sure they can make that work with Cousins contract? Seems like just water cooler talk to pass time.Getting back to Arod in this thread, I heard it floated on Detroit sports radio yesterday that maybe the Vikes could hook up with the Jest and trade Cousins over there, so the Jest can salvage their season.

I can't imagine trading Cousins 3-4 weeks into the season, it's a bad NFC and you're waving the white flag awfully early. You're also hoping the Bears and Cards do better than you so you can pick a top 3 QB. The Minny fan base is cranky already, if they trade their QB away they'll be really mad... and so will Justin Jefferson. You want to extend him with nobody at QB? No matter what, Vikings are in a tricky spot.
As for Jets defensive players, they'd have to send some over in the trade, probably. I might prefer to play for Saleh and hope to stick around for Rodgers' return next year.
