The Aaron Rodgers performance thread

[mongoosev]

You are missing the point. To keep this relevant to the forum…. The effectiveness of the vaccine is not the point. The NFL had certain rules in place. Whether you ar Aaron agree with them is irrelevant. The point is that Aaron is being paid a boatload of money to be available to play QB for the Green Bay Packers. He knew what the rules were regarding vaccination. For whatever reason, he chose not to get vaccinated. That in and of itself is bad enough in my opinion because of the aforementioned rules. He is now required to stay away for 10 days… unlike Adams who because of his vaccinated status only had to test negative twice and can resume practice. Furthermore it appears that Rodgers may have broken some of the rules regarding unvaccinated players… that is arrogantly unforgivable considering his importance to the team. Again… your opinion or Aaron’s regarding the effectiveness of the vaccine.. or the NFL’s rules is irrelevant. They are the rules and they were known going in.

I didn't know there was a mandate imposed by the Nfl.

That is why I put a question mark at the end of the sentence. I'm not sure I follow this logic then. Had he been vaccinated and still gotten the virus and been out he is excused?

Next....?

Best to just read above your last post. swhitset summed it up nicely and kept us within the boundaries of staying on topic.....Well done swhitset

There seems to be a lot of not knowing, misinterpreting or assuming going on right now. It is a long season and a long 2 years.

I guessed I missed the memo that all players needed to be vaccinated not just staff and employees.

The vast majority of people that get Covid-19 are unvaccinated. A small percentage of all fully vaccinated people have contracted Covid-19. No vaccine is 100% effective. The vaccine protects those people from gettng severely ill and signifcanty reduces the likelihood of hospitalizaton and death. An unvaccinated lady I went to school with recently passed away from Covid-19. She got it from her granddaughter. You don't just get vaccinated for yourself you get vaccinated for others.

not sure if you are asking a serious question or just using a buzzword “mandate” to make a point. There was no mandate … just a set of rules regarding what happens if a player chooses not to get vaccinated and ends up testing positive or is judged to have been in close contact with someone who does. Further unvaccinated players were required to follow certain rules regarding masks and being in groups etc… It appears Rodgers may have broken some of these.

there was never a mandate.

Again no mandate just rules and consequences. BTW...my POINT is he didn't break any protocol and had every right not to get vaccinated. Had this vaccine been 100% effective and players who are already vaccinated not gotten Covid I could understand this outrage.

Some consequences happen naturally and some are mandated.

If you read everything I
posted above and are still confused …. I can’t help you. You are talking in circles.

Rodgers' legacy might have been able to survive the past offseason's drama, but this morning it's been flushed down the toilet. Not even Stephen A Smith can defend the "baaaad man" anymore.

Could be but for me the argument is about vilifying someone for not getting the vaccine in contrast to those who did are still infected but get a pass. I believe only Rod is the one on that Covid list not vaccinated? And the odds of that is? Don't you think that is a double standard there?

 

[mongoosev]

posted above and are still confused …. I can’t help you. You are talking in circles.

So we are on the same page that Rod didn't break any protocol and shouldn't be vilified for breaking such "rules" that is not set in stone for those who are vaccinated and still caught it and are on the Covid list? Just asking. BTW...the word "mandate" is important in this argument and used to make a point because it focuses on the hypocrisy against those who CHOOSE not to get vaccinated on teams that is NOT mandated to get the vaccine.

 

[JK64]

It was a typo....the point being, the soonest he can come back is 10 days. That is harsher protocol than those that are vaccinated.

I believe he also misses a game check for every game he misses.

That was hard to follow… but I think it’s safe to say… no, we aren’t on the same page.

 

[Schultz]

My understanding is the only time a player misses a game check is if their is a forfeit. In that case every player from both teams miss that games payment.

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

This was from an SI article I found. I haven't found anything yet on if he loses a game check.

“The primary responsibility for enforcement of the COVID protocols within club facilities rests with each club.” Failure to enforce those protocols comes at a cost. Last season, for instance, the New Orleans Saints were fined $500,000 and forfeited a seventh-round draft pick for COVID violations. The Saints and Las Vegas Raiders were fined $250,000, and coaches Sean Payton and Jon Gruden were fined $100,000 apiece, for not properly wearing face coverings on the sideline during their Week 2 game.

Well because of stubbornness, we will see our backup QB in action.
I’m hoping Bakhtiari returns, him playing at even 95% gives us a solid bookend LT who can give Love a little more time to survey the field. If Love gets adequate protection I feel like he’ll make some good throws.

 

[AKCheese]

Many top level athletes from various sports have had horrible effects after taking the vaccine. Example shown below. With cases like these, how in the world can anyone be mad at someone else for making the personal choice to not get it?

Ding ding ding….. new winner…. That is hillllll-AIR-E-US

 

[Schultz]

I was thinking that he probably does wear a mask while competing since the mask wouldn't limit or effect his breathing in any way.

 

[gopkrs]

I’m starting to think that he isn’t nearly as smart as he thinks he is.

And that’s based on the man bun alone.

I gave it a laugh because, well, it made me laugh. But in a way, I'm thinking this new Rodgers' look may have something to do with what I think is the new Rodgers. I just love his play and attitude this year. He looks confident and loose in his interviews. And I have shied away from putting people in a box by the way they look since a was a teenager and I saw my parents doing it. I thought it was ******** then and I think it still is.

 

[gopkrs]

Can't stop, won't stop

and won't be logical

This is just not necessarily true.

 

[Spanky]

This thread has become a disgrace.

 

[Poppa San]

I believe he also misses a game check for every game he misses.

If this is true, what could be the effect on this season's salary cap?

 

[elcid]

I was wondering the same. I was also wondering if the packers are fined, is that subtracted from the cap?? Otherwise what do such relative fines matter for huge organisations like the Pack?

If this is true, what could be the effect on this season's salary cap?
