Aaron Rodgers

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?

He is having surgery so its out for the year more than likely.

Play Hundley. Forget Romo.

I thought surgery healed it faster?

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

[mraynrand]

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.

How many snaps did he have behind the intact starting O-line?

There was a pretty complicated dance that Rodgers and Bacteria mastered up and got used to. All that crap is gonna have to get refigured on the fly, possibly with backups to backups.

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.

[pbmax]

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.

How did our Oline break him when Rodgers wasn't even in the pocket when he got hit??

Previous hits weakened him?

[Pugger]

Previous hits weakened him?

I suspect Aaron put his arm and elbow out to break his fall and that made the injury worse.

In skiing once you are going down you collapse the knees so you basically sit hard and then roll with it.
