So 2-3 fortnights, 4-6 weeks. At that point, the Jets will be somewhere between 5-9 and 7-7

[–] heroinsteve@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Oh so he’s playing the new OG season? Is that helping his recovery?

[–] trionfo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I've very much enjoyed Giant Douche's absence from football.

[–] edcline@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Gotta love AR giving the least straight forward answer possible.

[–] CalQuentin@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Few means 3. A fortnight is 2 weeks. 3x2=6

6 weeks

[–] Jos3ph@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

They overstated his injury to get this miracle recovery narrative

[–] theresabeeonyourhat@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Oh god, he's getting into video games now?!?

[–] FuschiaKnight@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Has he been tested for HGH yet? Or are we still pretending his body heals faster than everyone else cuz he listens to dolphins having sex?

He's going to come back earlier than recommended, brag about how awesome crystal healing is, and then his foot is going to fall off during his first sack.

[–] NerdLawyer55@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This fucking guy…

[–] ProtectTheHell@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

After the Dolphins games please. Come back in the playoffs.

[–] BirdLaw_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't know if I've ever actually seen someone use the term fortnight.

Is he joking because he is playing fortnite while recovering?

[–] SarcasticCowbell@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Crazy coincidence: Kyler Murray's timeline is also several Fortnites.

[–] epheisey@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The media shitstorm that will take place if this guy comes back this season is going to be unbearable.

[–] net_403@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I find all this talk kind of weird.... wouldn't a 40 year old coming back from an achilles rupture in 4 months be nothing short of a medical miracle?

[–] HotPieIsAzorAhai@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Aaron Rodgers is just an insufferable, Sheldon Cooper style nerd with lower intelligence that happens to be good at football.

[–] Oedipustrexeliot@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

'Twill be but a few fortnights, M'Jets

[–] Tjengel@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Og map got everyone back dropping tilted towers

[–] Banj095@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Just more clickbait. This was said in jest on the McAfee show to just give McAfee an answer when he kept asking rodgers when he would come back.

[–] HuntertheDragoon@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (4 children)

I don't get it. Isn't the Jets O-Line still mega trash? Why would he want to rush back into this?

[–] ringolennon67@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He’s not. He absolutely is not going to play again this season. He just can’t stand not having national media attention squarely focused on him 24/7.

[–] johnjr_09@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He isn’t coming back. This dude just loves the attention.

6 weeks is still a long time for Zach Wilson to tread water though

[–] Brodellsky@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He's gonna be hearing the Sonic drowning music before Rodgers comes back.

We can analyze this. One fortnight is 2 weeks, and he didn’t use the term “a couple,” so we know it’s not in the next 4. “Few” could indicate anywhere between 3-5, above which we reach “several” territory. So I’d say, Rodgers back sometime within the next 6-10 weeks, placing us firmly at… playoff season, like the rumor has been all along. /s

Given Rodgers penchant for conspiracy theories I can't help but enjoy this creating the conspiracy theory that he didn't really injure his achilles (or it isn't as bad as reported) and he is sitting out just long enough to ensure Packers don't get a first round pick out of spite.

I don't believe the conspiracy theory to be true, but I do enjoy that there are people who do.

[–] NearlyMerick@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

At the time he said this Pat and the boys were decoding different units of counting I.e. "a couple is two, a few is three, etc" so I think the implication from "a few fortnights" was that Arod thinks he's 6 weeks away from a comeback.

[–] ek1992osu@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

"I'm at Tilted and need a res*

[–] gmb96@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Let's say he does come back, Zach Wilson can actually move and got sacked six times last game. Rodgers would get feasted on

[–] datdudebdub@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (4 children)

On the one hand I fully believe the NFL is turning a blind eye to him using HGH or something similar to accelerate his recovery because the story would sell (elite HOF QB playing in biggest market overcomes odds, the books/movies write themselves)

On the other, I also think Rodgers is an attention whore who would absolutely be acting this way even if a return was completely and utterly impossible.

Idk which one I believe more

[–] girth_br00ks@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He's an attention whore. It's not complicated.

If the jets are not in the hunt, is it even worth risking it (given he can actually come back)?

AFC east as of now, between bills and dolphins .. although both are super inconsistent but flashy.

[–] Automatic-Kangaroo70@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I knew this guy was an attention seeker but this storyline is just ridiculous.

[–] MrShad0wzz@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Instructions unclear, dropping at tilted towers

[–] Impressive_Site_5344@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Once the OG season is done he’ll be back

[–] IWasRightOnce@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think the bigger question is, even if the Jets are still in playoff contention in mid-December, would the team even want to clear him to return?

Like, if their in a spot where they need to win their last 3 games to make the playoffs, is the risk of putting him out there actually even worth it?

Once he gets a victory royale hes coming back

[–] Isphet71@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Bet you a billion dollars that he won’t be subjected to a random drug screening

[–] Triingtolivee@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Let’s be honest tho, Jets aren’t making the playoffs.

The words Fortnight and among us have just been completely slaughtered in my brain, I will be catatonic on my deathbed but if someone says those words my neurons will immediately activate

[–] fatmike63@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

There are only 2 options here. Either he and NYJ lied about the severity of his injury or he’s taking a massive amount of roids to recover.

[–] ILikeGold1121@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Aaron rodgers really trying to speed run getting killed out there lol

[–] ovensandhoes@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

[–] WillieStonka@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

4 score and 7 games from now.

[–] zachthompson02@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We have to score 4 times before he comes back???

Kyler Murray made his return after a few Fortnites too.
