Not surprised, but not expected either. I thought they would just list him as out on the injury report.

Good move. No reason at all to play him anymore this year. Senseless to risk an even worse injury than a broken bone. An ACL would be catastrophic.

 

[Zartan]

Expected this would happen. Better for him to heal fully over the offseason and come back 100% next season. Hopefully next season Capers will be gone.

 

[AmishMafia]

Not surprised. Hundley beat him out fair and square.

Next question, what can we get for Rodgers in a trade?

Knowing Teddy, about a dozen third day draft picks over the course of the next three years.

Right move, but the ending to a ****** year. Would rather have him get a season ending injury so we could have had a great pick and there would be certainty changes would be made. Now management will say some ******** like "we went 4-2 with our best player, that is sustainable'. No it is not, he's been carrying your bum ***** for years. Give him some help. The defensive players outside a few positions are fine, just get a better coach/scheme. Offensively the receivers aren't starting worthy outside of Adams. Get some more o-line depth, add a starting receiver/tight end. My fear is everyone will be back.

Wasn't there talk of him retiring about 2 years ago? Hopefully that rumor comes to fruition real soon.

 

[ShockwaveRider]

If I were Aaron Rodgers I'd head back to the beach and find some pretty supermodel-type gal to sit right on my........collarbone.

God bless you AR. Rest up and we'll see you in 2018 (hopefully with a VASTLY improved supporting cast).

No sense leaving him on the 53 man roster.

 

[DarkHelmet]

The obvious and correct move. Bringing him back last week was a risky move. Playing him any further this year would be idiocy. I want to see Hundley play the first half against the Vikes and Callahan the second half. Then vice versa against the Lions. The Packers organization needs to figure out whether either of these guys is worth keeping next year.

Who, Teddy Bridgewater? Doctors said there was no certanty he would be able to play again and refused to offer any kind of prognosis. There was always cautious optimism Bridgewater could play again if he makes a complete recovery.

 

[OldSchool101]

Perfect. Now let Hundley sink or swim. He’ll either promote himself.. or get us a top 12-15 pick

@906Fan Just curious, what do you disagree with?

Who brought up Bridgewater? The reference was to Ted. Do try to keep up.

The would rather have a season ending injury. I'd rather Aaron have a broken collarbone over pretty much every season ending injury I can think of.

We currently have the #16 pick. The only other 7-7 team, the Chargers, currently has a weaker schedule, so it will be very hard to leapfrog them even if we lose out.

At this point, every type ofi injury is a season-ender.

I don't think it was really that risky. I think the only reason he is back on IR is because we are out of the playoff picture. If Atlanta had lost last night he would be starting against the vikings (unless there is a Saturday game that would have knocked them out.)

It's been a disappointing year, all right, especially after that 4-1 start. I thought our tight ends would tear up the league, but Rodgers went down and Bennett turned out to be a ****.

I have to respect McCarthy for putting him on IR. If he would have played and got hurt, how bad would that look. This way is best for the team.

 

[HardRightEdge]

Good. He can complete the healing process, get the plate and screws removed, heal up from that, and be good to go in the spring. That's assuming he didn't f something up playing with it.

Yeah the severity of the injury is a good point.

Expected a lot more from Kendricks. He looked better in Jeff Fisher's offense, the worst offensive mind in football, than he does now. Bennett has been away for a long time now too. He's only catching just over 50% of his balls.

He's not a very good route runner. If a receiver doesn't read the defense and adjust the route properly he's going to get fewer balls, and the ones he does get are more likely to go where he is not. If he's thinking his way through that adjustment his movement will be tentative and he won't get the ball then either. I've seen that with Kendricks.
