OFFICIAL AARON RODGERS THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[smuggler]

I think he could rehab and come back to a veteran "Well enough" level next season, but the left foot is his plant, and I don't know if he'd freak out every time he pushes off.

He's a right handed passer, so his right foot is his plant foot.

If he were a kicker, his left foot would indeed be the plant foot.

Ye cats. If he's done, that's a $74M dead cap hit.

They'll do it post June 1st so it will be split over two season. Still, barring a comeback, the Jets will have paid Rodgers almost $24M per snap.

Possibly one of the many reasons I suck at football.

At least you knew it was the left leg. I couldn't even remember that much when I responded to you last night.

Anyone happy for the injury or ‘hating’ Rodgers is small minded. He is good for the NFL and its entertainment value. If he’s done for the year, I can’t see how he’s not done for the career. So many lower leg injuries, 40+, etc.

Maybe he’ll use the chance to view the game from the sideline with a new perspective. Maybe he’d be a damn good coach - QB, specialist, quality control, OC or even HC.

It sucks for him, sucks for the Jets and sucks for us (1st vs 2nd round pick). Fuck the fake fields - maybe this is the nail in that coffin too.

I’ll take the 2 second round picks we got for a guy that played 3 snaps and learn to be happy

And fuck the nfl and their “value”, unless you’re a team owner (a real owner) or a media talking head, this shouldn’t matter one bit

The Jets oline is bad and would have been holding that team back, however this was an unfortunate freak jnjury. Wonder if he plays next season.

I think he will play. He’s too proud and too egotistical to want to be the guys the Jets gave up two second-rounders for, only to go out after four plays in game one. No, he’ll work his ass off and use the idea that he’s being scorned as his motivation. Probably have a really good year, too.

From a Packer perspective, as a fan, this was the second-worst thing that could’ve happened: he’s out after four plays and out for the year, AND the Jets won anyway.

The injury is not good if you're a football fan. Also, cheering when someone gets hurt is pretty meanspirited and small.
The news cycle will spin over to his recovery (and if he wants to come back, his rehab) and NY media will eat that up.

The Jets had a lot of prime time games on the schedule IIRC, wonder how the league and media channels feel about that now that people will be watching Zach Wilson trot out there.

BTW, I really am not a COMPLETE asshole, I feel bad that Rodgers went down. but i did LOL at that too soon joke.

+1

I guess you're almost as evil and small-minded as me hahahahaha

[Fosco33]

Sports karma is a real thing imo. And karma in general. ARod didn’t do anything to the packers that they didn’t accept and we, as fans, owe each other nothing (and vice versa).

So cheer for injuries - it’s certainly your right. As it is to say that mentality is small minded.

And the entertainment value - it’s watching the best product on the field. ARod on the jets is more entertaining than not.

I know, 99% of hilarious but cruel jokes aren’t hilarious because the cruelty is funny, they’re hilarious because someone saying it when they shouldn’t is funny.
