OFFICIAL AARON RODGERS THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[Fritz]

I don't think Rodgers's ego would allow him to be a backup, and maybe not even a stop-gap starter for a year - unless he's chasing stats.

[MadScientist]

I could see him at veteran-minumum Flacco duty, if needed, but I can't imagine a sane and well-balanced GM spending the salary-cap space and young-QB development time to pay Rodgers anywhere near what he's earned in any season.

So you are saying he's going to the Bears.

The only likely spot is 9ers

They don’t want him. Injuries and age have made him Vinnie Testeverde at the end of his career. He’d be a decent veteran back up at this point in his career, able to help a team for a few games if their starter is injured.

I really don’t think that’s what Rodgers wants to do.

I don't think there is. It would have to be a good team in need of a QB. I don't think that team exists unless Stafford retires. Vikings will likely bring Darnold back.

I'm assuming he's not going to be a Jet next year. Is there another team that would be a logical landing place? Or is he gonna retire like this? Man, father time... It really sucks we never got the proper revenge tour. I think the injury stole his mobility.

Looks like the farewell tour for AaRon with the way other teams are shaking his hand.

[Fosco33]

Ok - so they decided to score the TD with a min left instead of making Jax more time and timeouts. They can score a tying TD with a min and 2 timeouts. Kinda odd

[Fosco33]

Rodgers leading a drive w/ <2min to get into either long fg to take the lead or for the dagger. A meaningless game between 2 three win teams but imagine it could be one of his last games.

The only way that could work is if Rodgers landed with a team that has a Detroit Lions-like offensive line. That’s why Goff is playing well - he’s pretty immobile, but with time to throw he can still look good. I think of Goff and Rodgers as being similar in that regard.

Well you're not wrong. Goff is 11 years younger though, less prickly about ... well, everything, and at least occasionally targets the middle of the field. Goff looks like a dweeb and he went to Cal, so they have that in common.

I can't really think of a team that fits the "needs a QB, has a very good OL" criteria. Usually it's a trash team that needs the QB, and they are trash because they have bad talent all over including the OL. Even a team flush with cap space would likely be overpaying for middling vets on the OL and Rodgers. Smart teams don't let good players (especially on the OL) walk.

Rodgers broke his streak of non 300 yard games.

He and Love now both have 1 to their credit this season. Rodgers with more yards, one less TD and a few less INTs but worse QBR and of course the only thing that matters - Ws

Finally LOL

Rodgers has 2+ more games of QB play for his stats.
Rodgers-Love advanced stats comparison is pretty interesting on pro football reference.
Rodgers is basically a statue who throws short at this point. His pressure rate is almost the same as Love but has 20 more sacks on the year. Surprisingly he has a higher rate of "bad throws" whatever that means.

Rodgers was an amazing player at his peak, but he's far far away from that now. IF some team pays him to play next year, I wouldn't count on a bounceback year.

Woodley seems like a nice girl but also a handful….all that emotion is just too much for a lot of men.
