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.

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

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.

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

[NewsBruin]

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.

Possibly one of the many reasons I suck at football.

[MadScientist]

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.

[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.

I wanted to see what 8 was gonna do this season because it wasn't going to affect us unless they beat out 15 other teams (and I wanted to see when the rah-rah magic wheels fell off Arod's bus...er...Jet).

[texaspackerbacker]

hahahahaha you would.

[call_me_ishmael]

Man, what a sad way to go out. Is this a career ender for one of the all-time greats? You hate to see it. Just a fluke thing too. I feel horrible for him, he seemed like he was reinvigorated with a fresh start like Peyton was and Brady was.

[Fritz]

Then there’s this universe.

Shit.

[smuggler]

There's another universe where Favre wins in 2009 and Rodgers wins in 2010, 2011, 2014, and 2020.

It was very close to a mutually beneficial split. Hoping for something similar with the Rodgers situation.
