THE injury

[Cleft Crusty]

I would announce Rodgers today if I thought it would mess the Lions up in their already confused head.

Or would saying he's in agony make the Loins relax?

A good PR department would leak both stories. Packers need to re-hire Ari Fleischer for the next few days. Rodgers is clearly a weapon of mass destruction.

[hoosier]

Even if Detroit loses tonight?

Yeah, even if. I suspect they've decided that complete healing of the fracture will take at least 2 months from the time of injury, and that they're not going to put him at risk during the 1-2 month window. If that is the case then the divisional standings have absolutely nothing to do with his return time.

Rodgers hoping Packers clear him to play this week

Dec. 17, 2013

Comment woodbuck27:

Here's my interpretation of this story:

Aaron Rodgers is hopeful that his broken collarbone has healed enough to get him cleared to play Vs the Pittsburgh Steelers this week. He gave no stronger indication than that about his status for this upcoming game.

On his weekly radio show on ESPN Milwaukee Aaron Rodgers suggested that the risk-reward part of the equation tilts more toward playing now that the Packers can qualify for the playoffs by winning their final two games.

He said that the decision is “organizational”. That those responsible for any decision and his injury status will do what is in his best interest.

What do you feel ... think? Maybe? ... keep that to yourself.

The Falcons and Cowboys defenses were ranked 29th and 32nd in the league.

The Steelers defense is ranked 11th.

I realize that this probably has nothing to do with whether Rodgers starts or not, but it's worth noting that things will not come as easy for Flynn this week.

I get the sense Rodgers wants to play, McCarthy wants Rodgers to play, but Dr. McKenzie (and perhaps Ted Thompson) are holding firm.

RT @Slappyb27: Aaron Rodgers skelton needs to be held accountable for not healing when we need him

[Freak Out]

So Rodgers is out again....does not bode well for the Packers this Sunday....but I think we'll get another surprise performance and the dream continues.

"After seeing Aaron practice for two weeks, this is clearly something that Ted Thompson and I need to sit down and assess the situation."

[RashanGary]

Ted Thompson runs the Green Bay Packers. If this was a McCarthy decision, I know MM, he's competitive and his emotion comes into play. He believes in his game planning and believes in his QB. They're arrogant enough to take the risk.

Thompson on the other hand, ice flows through his veins.

[red]

for those that thought that article that can out sunday from "sources" that said a-rod was actually no where near being able to play

then why the fuck is there still a huge decision to be made?

why would M3 come out one day later and announce that there is a lot of "conversation" going on about the decision?

that article that came out yesterday was nothing but damage control by the team and TT because TT got his vag hurt by M3 throwing him under the bus on friday and blaming the "organization" for a-rod not playing.

fyi, organization = TT

"Thompson on the other hand, ice flows through his veins"

I wouldn't mistake him being an overly cautious, play it safe pussy for ice.
