    Injury riddled??? What a ridiculous, lame excuse. He was healthy enough to start every game and play something like 98% of all offensive snaps. Some snaps he missed were not because of injury.

    The year was what it was, no better than Love this year.

    Face it Tex, Rodgers is never likely to again be what he was, and likely will have to always play with some nagging physical injuries. It's a fact of life for most 40-year-old pro athletes.

    If he plays as you predict, good for him. But there is the chance he becomes one of those guys who stays a year too long and plays like a shadow of his former self.

    Dont they all? Seems all the great QBs retire with tears not because they don’t want to because they just physically can’t anymore. About the same as the alpha being ran off by his pack or pride when he is no longer the strongest.

    Manning, Favre, Brees, Brady, that's just off the top of my head, they were all shells of themselves at the end. Kaaron is already there, he was pretty middlin' last season.
