Brett Favre would've started; a little shoulder boo boo

[gex]

You know this is just an attempt to live up to the ironman status that Favre has.
I dont believe its a good idea at all. If that shoulder gets rocked(50-50) by a blindside sack or even a hard hit it could put the rest of our season in jeapordy.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

So if the guy doesnt start, he's an injury prone pussy. If he does start, he's just trying to prove something. Why the fuck do you even bother watching the games?

Cause I'm a bigger Packer fan than you will ever hope to be .
BTW whats the deal with your non-football related avatars on a FOOTBALL board. What are you even doing here.

Besides,Zool, read the rest of the post and put it in the correct context.

last time favre had a little shoulder boo boo he couldnt even finish a damn game

When was this? Last year, it was an elbos injury. So, please explain to me when a shoulder injury every kept him out.

I think he's speaking of his separated shoulder due to Reggie White and Favre OVERCOMING the injuring, WINNING the game, and ENTICING Reggie White to come to the Packers and win a SUPER BOWL..... I'm sure thats its...

GO BRETT GO!

If he doesn't try to play... to me he is a pussy


If he does play Im backing him all the way... just like I did with Brett


the rules don't change, Rodgers just has to play by them

[Tony Oday]

Ah it was God and Money that got the Minister here...NOT Favre. Revisionist history is not correct history.

[esoxx]

If Rodgers is starting, which it appears he is, then he needs to be confident he can get through the game effectively. I don't want to see a few series or maybe a half and out.
Either you can play with the pain or you can't. If you can't, start Flynn so the team at least has some certainity.
Not good for the flow playing a spell and then out.
I think we'll learn some things about Rodgers today. Hopefully good things.

[Scott Campbell]

It's a shame we didn't get the ball back at the end. I'd have loved to see what Aaron would have done with the game on the line in a 2 minute drill.



He's obviously tougher than a lot of people thought.

[pbmax]

Funny how cheese hasn't come back to this thread. Perhaps he is having a tough time removing the size 12 from his mouth.

I think this is a poor decision by the Packers. I think Rodgers injury is a little more substantial then they are letting on and this is one of those things that can linger for the rest of the season if they don't let it mend.

I agree.

Football are kinda stupid, no other way to put it. If a baseball pitcher were to get a partially dislocated shoulder, would the fans be crying, "Put him back in the rotation tonight, its just a boo-boo?" I don't think so.

So Aaron Rodgers is now a man for "playing through the pain." And perhaps he was somewhat more effective than Flynn would have been - maybe. But at what cost? It was obvious he was doing damage to his shoulder by making those hard throws, he was in sharp pain. So now his shoulder is probably where it was at a week ago, if not worse, and he will be in poor shape for the Bears game too.

Dumb. Or maybe it refects the lack of confidence in the backups. Dumb just the same.

But if he doesn't play, the Favre fans come out of the woodwork and claim that "ARod is an injury prone pussy", "TT never shouldn't have got rid of the Ironman" etc. Its a lose-lose propsition.

No matter if people bitch about Favre or not, or if its another position... I want my players, no matter the sport to get their ass on the field if they can... obviously Rodgers could, so they let him.... case closed

We don't know that.

then he deserves an oscar for his wincing and arm grabbing

It has nothing to do with faking it.

It could hurt without there being any additional damage to the shoulder by playing. You don't know he was doing damage.
