Ok so our Oline finally broke him, if he has surgery is it an 8 week recovery or is there no chance this season unless BH vastly improved or Romo rides to the rescue?

I thought surgery healed it faster?
Radio today said with Surgery, it is likely 6-10 weeks before any movement is allowed on the arm, then therapy starts from there. Doctor on radio said even if 6 weeks is what he does, you're looking at another 3-5 weeks before he's even allowed back to the practice field. Best case he's back for Wild Card weekend. But, what it does is get him prepared and stronger faster for next year.
Yep. Surgery can get you to rehab a little faster than natural healing. But then you haven't moved the right arm in 6-10 weeks. Longer rehab. Would be easier to shorten if it was his left shoulder and could use the right during healing.
yeah, the rehab is gonna be a bitch. hes looking at not moving that arm at all for a couple months
its gonna take time for the throwing arm to get anywhere close to where it needs to be
this is new bretts team for now. this is what he's been groomed for, the coach likes him, and the coch is suppose to be a QB guru according to many
so, we'll see. i do think the o-line will get him killed before the season is over. i mentioned it in preseason. our o-line only looks good when you have the wizard behind them. as soon as brett got back there and couldn't use his special powers to figure where to escape to, the line looked just as shitty as they actually are. and those were our good linemen
It's still natural healing - the surgery is to put a plate in there to align the fracture, meaning it very likely was a total break, not a hairline deal like in 2013.
also, after talking to a few old timers today, it sounds like someone needs to teach a-rod how to fall
sounds like the worst thing you can do in that situation is try and put your hand out to break the fall
other sports (hockey) teach you to never do that
Well he wasn't falling, he was being tackled/landed upon. Maybe he can't roll out of that. he tucks in the arm and maybe gets a separated shoulder. The collarbone break is an easier recovery, with better long-term prognosis, in terms of shoulder function and throwing motion.
He almost rolled out of the McClellin hit, he got it turned to his off shoulder but couldn't quite complete the roll before he hit the turf.
Why the hell do you think he wasn't in the pocket? Actually, there probably never was a pocket - that's the usual situation.
Romo wouldn't last a half with our O Line - and I mean the starters, much less this replacement bunch.
Hundley is a decent QB, but his glaring weakness in the preseason was lack of instinct to avoid the pass rush. I think he's got the mobility, but he has to learn when to use it. I think he has a good arm too, but I'm worried McCarthy will get overly cautious and not unleash him.
As I said yesterday, this season is not down the drain, whether Rodgers comes back or not. It will be damn tough, though, thanks to the mediocre supporting talent Ted Thompson blessed us with.
The natives will be restless until ARod is placed on IR.
People of Packerland, your god is dead!
All Worship Hundley.
With the new rule about bringing people back from IR, there's no reason to wait. On the fairly slim (I guess) chance he can come back this season, it can be done.
Damn Right, worship Hundley - or at least hope, pray, and trust in him. He's clearly the best option, and Callahan is clearly the second best.
At this point in the season I don't want to see any other QB brought in. It reeks of desperation and rarely has any lasting benefits. You roll with Hundley and Callahan and figure out if either of them are worth hanging onto in the future. Decisions are going to have to be made about what to do with Hundley anyways so this is the perfect test. Hundley has 3 years in the system so this isn't like being forced to play a rookie or someone fresh off of the street.
There's no way a sensible Man like Tony Romo would come back to the NFL with his History of back problems and even imagine now that he could get it done behind our crippled OL and with the pathetic state of The Packer Defense.
This Season is very likely 'a Write Off '.
The excuses are already written.
TT and MM will be back doing the same Ole same Ole again next Season.

Surgery could be the best option for Aaron Rodgers' broken collarbone
Rob Demovsky ... ESPN Staff Writer
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- " ... If Aaron Rodgers has surgery to repair his broken collarbone, it could help facilitate a return before this season is over.
While surgery would be far more invasive than just rest and recovery, it might be the best option for the Green Bay Packers quarterback.
“Actually, surgery would accelerate the recovery, not the other way around,” ESPN injury analyst Stephania Bell said. “You can begin moving much sooner because the fracture is stabilized by the hardware.” ..."
Good Luck Aaron.
Would be interesting if BH goes 6-4 the 10 games and looks good. TT would be able to get a 1st and a 3rd for him then.
We got outscored 16-10 with Hundley suddenly thrown in to play - against the Vikings at their place, despite bad officiating, despite bad shaky play calling by McCarthy, despite a miscue on the goal line by Montgomery. How many teams that we play the rest of the way are not as good as the Vikings at their place? I would say all but 2 or 3 at most.
Post #24 above is intriguing. Most of us assumed that surgery makes a return less likely; According to that ESPN expert, it makes a return more likely.
I say, it's a little too soon to talk about the season being down the drain.
Exactly..I totally see it as you do.
I liked MM's response to Green Bay now and the rest of this Season minus Aaron Rodgers:
His response is really all too obviously 'the reality'. He has to be respected for any of his anger and any suggestion otherwise.
I understand the insult to MM and his development Program and time 3 and 2 Years spent on Arod's Backups.
No other Unsigned (wanna be NFL QB) would trump what he has worked so hard to develop under his STAR QB and arguably best player in the NFL.
GO PACKERS !
If Rodgers keeps getting injured, he's never gonna catch the win leaders

I'd be fine having Kap be Hundley's backup. I have no faith in Callahan or the offensive line in it's current state. I think someone else will pickup Kap and we'll end up with an untested, unproven nobody.
