I'm getting Ivan Drago vibes: "If he dies, he dies"

At some point you have to protect players from themselves

Rodgers is either a fearless warrior or a totally insane person to even consider getting back behind the Jets O line again this season

[–] No_Introduction_7034@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He’s a fearless totally insane person.

I kind of doubt Rodgers truly believes he’ll be back on the field this year. More seems like he’s dangling himself a carrot to stay motivated/push himself through the rehab.

[–] Rootbeer_Goat@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He knows this is his last shot and he's only even considering it because of how damn quickly it happened 4 plays in

[–] Yankeeknickfan@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think his doctor has told him it’s possible though

Have you heard him speak

[–] sevaiper@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You have to really love football to even think about risking your long term health for a completely unprecedented recovery for this Jets team. It's insane but I love it.

[–] Yankeeknickfan@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

For this jets team? They have the best defense he’s ever had

It’s obvious why he would want this

Rodgers got those senzu beans on deck

[–] Fiendish-DoctorWu@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

GM does outrank coach, after all

[–] WordsAreSomething@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (6 children)

So Aaron Rodgers is the head coach. Got it

[–] TBoneTheOriginal@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

More just that he’s not Zach Wilson lol

[–] iversonAI@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I think Saleh is the head coach but Aaron Rodgers is a hall of fame qb. If he wants to start over Zac Wilson he is allowed because aaron rodgers tends to be better than Zac Wilson.

[–] Uberjeagermeiter@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He’d be better than “Coach Dad.”

LaAron Bronjers

We need to bring player-coaches back.

"I will do literally anything in my power to not have to watch zach wilson"

[–] Moriason@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

All this effort to rush back, for what? To get blown up again and reinjured worse? Has Rodgers actually watched the Jets o-line this season?

I'm betting my last dirty underpants that tühe will not play this season.

bro just needs the spotlight. can't be out of the media too long..

[–] saw-it@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

So Rodgers is the one telling Saleh to play Zach

Dave Thomas: If Benjamin says he wants a Baconator, he'll eat.

[–] WintertimeFriends@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yes please.

[–] Alexisonfire24@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You know what? If this dumbass wants to rush the rehab of a major injury to scratch the playoffs behind a porous OL... I'm in. I'll gladly watch this debauchery

[–] d9849468@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I love how shitty and negative it has to be that the dude merely wants to come back on an aggressive timeline and play. Any other player would get so much praise for trying it and be praised as such a super great leader

If Aaron rodgers wants to try to win a Sb with the best defense he’s ever had in his career, who can blame him

[–] chillinwithmoes@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Kinda wild seeing a team bend over backwards to accommodate a player like this. Might be biased because I absolutely hate this particular player though

[–] cronoes@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

hes going to play bros.

[–] nothingisalright_@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Banking on Zach Wilson to get you to the playoffs is another whacky decision.

[–] Prozzak93@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

All these comments about the o-line makes it seem like a lot of you never had an ounce of competitive spirit.

[–] Zestyclose_Main6335@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Well did anyone actually believe that Rodgers would listen to medical professionals

[–] Baww18@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

People kinda making a bigger deal of this than it is. Rodgers has already said pretty publicly that he is only coming back if the jets are in it. You have to read this statement in line with the other. If somehow the jets have a shot and he is cleared - Ofcourse no one is gonna stop Rodgers from playing over Zach Wilson if he feels up to it.

Aaron Rodgers has shown not to care about medical advice. Why start now?

[–] BurgessFox@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Saleh is just putting the onus back on Rodgers now.

No matter what shit he talks to the media, if he's not out there we know it's because he doesn't want to be out there.

[–] AutographedSnorkel@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

First line in the article says "if he receives medical clearance"

The only doctor that would clear a football player for full contact less than four months after achilles surgery is Dr. Nick Riviera.

[–] Yankeeknickfan@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Dr. Neal is the one that would clear him lmao

[–] SafariFlapsInBack@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Saleh may be the mafucka who will actually call him on his shit and make Rodgers backtrack.

Then again… he’s castrated from making any change from Wilson currently because of the owner but whatever.

[–] 8each8oys@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

You guys are all haters

[–] thatguywes88@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Makes you wonder if he would retire after the season? Doesn’t make sense to rush back from the injury other than a)misplaced pride b) not coming back next season

[–] drakeman7679@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It's not medically possible for him to play this season. This needs to stop.

[–] reaper527@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

this is going to make rogers look bad by setting unrealistic expectations for him.

by the time he CAN play, the jets will be out of playoff contention (either officially, or unofficially) so there will be no reason for him to play while saleh's just saying "if he wants to he could".

he tore his achilles in week 1. there's no reasonable expectation for him to play despite saleh trying to paint one.

[–] COMMENTASIPLEASE@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I don’t want this to happen but if he comes back this year and gets hurt within the first drive it’ll almost be funny.

[–] Outside-Ad-5684@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Aaron Rodgers. Narcissist who needs the attention.

[–] Matzah_Rella@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Could we set aside a moment just to admire Saleh's beard? It's clean and full.

[–] Johnny_K_Pigskin@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Are the Jets that desperate to win this year?

I don't think risking next season by playing Rodgers earlier than expected is a good idea, but that's just me!

If he dies, he dies.

[–] Silversaving@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Can they use a fullback to push his wheel chair around the field?

[–] AwfulishGoose@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

As someone that doesn't like Rodgers? I hope they let him play.

[–] weenisbobeenis@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He must be on an insane diet of steroids and stem cells if he is already almost recovered.
