Because, honestly, Rodgers is kinda just an unlikable asshole who happens to be an NFL quarterback, and because he has a shit personality I didn't really feel bad for Jets fans at all, but old number 61 gave me a different perspective.
Yeah when I was trying to think of an instance like this I could only come up with Montana's concussion in the afc championship game but that wasn't 4 plays into that game let alone the season. [Reply]
^ agreed. I also feel bad for the actual players on the team. It seemed during training camp they were all so optimistic and excited to have him on the team and to have an actual guy to rely on to carry them in games. Now they are back to square 1 and they know it, as do the fans. [Reply]

People look at Brady's accomplishments but severely undervalue one of his greatest traits and that is always being healthy (outside the year Pollard ended his season). Rodgers for all his talent has missed a lot of time over the years. I would feel far more confident that a 40 year old Brady makes it through the season than a 40 year old Rodgers. [Reply]

Brady looked thin last year and was pretty bad.
Rogers looks thin this year and got hurt 4 plays in.

We had Krieg on that 93 team who had led the Chiefs to the playoffs with a 10-6 record the season before, so we wouldn’t have been in such dire straits. One thing Marty was good at was winning with backup QB’s, at least in the regular season. [Reply]

It was still part of one of the nastiest one-two punches the football gods ever delivered, though.
I remember waking up that morning having no doubt that the Super Bowl would be Montana v. Young. Zero doubt. None. It would be perfect. Beautiful. A game for the ages in which the master would prevail over his noxious apprentice and cement his legacy as the greatest QB ever, for us.
Instead, we got the fucking Bills and the fucking Cowboys.
Of all the shitty playoff losses we endured, that one is only surpassed on the misery scale by the Donx cooking spray game. Had Joe gone down in week one at least I wouldn't have had a dream to crush. [Reply]

Rodgers is subject to fines due to his 'unexcused' absence at Jets activities
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers did not attend mandatory minicamp on Tuesday and the absence wasn't excused, according to Robert Saleh. The Jets head coach said Rodgers had a previously scheduled event that is "important to him." The veteran will now be subject to a fine due to the missed session(s).
Rodgers is subject to $16,953, $33,908, and $50,855 in fines for missing all three days, totaling $101,716.
The missed practice was no surprise to Saleh, but a previous conversation about the quarterback missing time does not warrant the absence to be labeled as "excused."
"Aaron and I spoke before OTAs started. He's been very good in communication. He's been here the entire time. It's unexcused, but he had an event that was very important to him, which he communicated," Saleh said.

But his problem goes much deeper than just the physical side of things, IMO
Dude has had ALL of this time off and away from football other than the rehab process... plenty of time for sensory depravation retreats, hanging out with Bobby Kennedy talking politics, doing shrooms and going on holistic chakra building out of body experiences to other planes of existence or whatever the fuck it is he does, lol
He destroyed the morale of that team going down so early last year as the brand new savior, and now that he has a chance to step up as a genuine leader chomping at the bit for another shot at showing them how to win... he skips minicamp
His arrogance is off the charts, truly thinks he can just show up and flip a switch
The guy is an epic jackoff, he simply doesn't get it and never will [Reply]
