The Aaron Rodgers performance thread

[Deleted member 6794]

Here are the rules for unvaccinated players in the NFL. Rodgers definitely broke at least the one regarding media availability during the season and having to wear a mask during travel. I guess he didn't follow most other rules listed below as well. That could result in the team as well as him being fined by the league at some point.

About other topics that have been discussed in this thread. He will keep his game check for this week while on the COVID-19 list. If the Packers receive a money fine out of it that won't be subtracted from the team's cap.

Saw this in an article by, of all people, a Minnesota sports writer. "Beware the athlete that equates sporting success with worldly intelligence or virtue". Fits #12 perfectly. Hell, it fits most every athlete perfectly.

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

So no rebuttal on the subject of breaking protocol or mandates? The issue now is if Rod followed these guidelines for those unvaccinated. Carry on though with the "i'm not following but what I say is right" nonsense!

BTW...let me make it easy for you to understand and where YOU stand on this "ruling."

you said "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.or...."

The rules don't state he has to get vaccinated by the NfL. There are guidelines he had to follow. Now the hypocrisy I see with many of the finger pointing claiming he had a responsibility(or whatever their grip is) didn't seem to have problems with those vaccinated players on the Covid list for not taking any precautions. They are paid a boat load but still got the virus and had to sit uot. You see the hypocrisy? It's very easy to understand. Now had there been a mandate(or protocol) and the efficacy of the vaccine been 100% then I could understand all the outrage towards Rod.

BINGO! Meaning he had every right not to get vaccinated. HOWEVER, he had to follow these guidelines.

One of the worst symptoms of our cultural insanity is the belief that because someone is a talented athlete, actor, writer, etc. that their opinion matters more than anyone else’s on issues they know very little about.

You seem to be confusing "rights", with what some peoples opinions are and this is whether it "was right or wrong" of him to decide not to get vaccinated and in that decision process, was it right or wrong of him to obviously try and misrepresent his vaccination status to the media and fans and potentially teammates?

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

I’m a weird one. I’m pro shot, but totally ok with Aaron’s choice there (or anyone else). I support people either way, we need some more compassion for each other for what we’re up against.
It’s pretty obvious we are all scared of this monster, regardless of the countless attempts I see to defray that fear (not you just in general)

We do however 100% control how we respond (or react if you see things half empty) using that <3lb thing between our ears..when adversity strikes.
I also don’t think I should be beating on a guy (or girl) for getting sick. I don’t care what his/her role is. Hopefully Aaron rebounds and gets back to business next week so we can discuss ON-FIELD performance.

I’m with @Dantés . I’m actually loving seeing our backup QB and see how we (our team) fight through adversity. I’m thankful to God for giving Jordan a chance without necessarily making him our lifetime starter, it’s the perfect time for this imo. (It’s an Road/AFC team that we could lose anyway).
Next to.. (last week?) this is the most excited I’ve been about a game in awhile.

Huh? AGAIN there was NO mandate! HE had a choice! This isn't arguing about "rights" when there is NO mandates or protocol by the nfl!!! Also he didn't have to disclose his vaccine status. Doesn't matter anyway he was on the same list as those VACCINATED. But he is the villain now? Hah!

BTW the argument about being right or wrong highlights my point about the hypocrisy from the pro-vaxxers.

We’re all hypocrites! So Let’s just put that label away.
This forum is filled with “opinions”. His doesn’t become a non-qualifier because of an NFL rule. Matter of fact your response qualifies as one.

There’s no Law or Rule here saying I can spit my chewing gum out in our parking lot. It’s private property. That in itself doesn’t mean it isn’t a bastardly thing for me to do! That’s my opinion of course.

Rodgers may have not broken an NFL rule by buying chewing gum, but that action caused our franchise to step in his spent gum and if he was a young boy? he’d get a spanking.

At least YOU get it! .I guess we are just dealing with a different generation that doesn't seem to have any rational or reasoning skills today. Holy cow!

I agree about being hypocrites but in this case if you are vaccinated or not the players are still on that Covid list.

Rodgers has the right to not be vaccinated which is why the NFL has protocols for vaccinated/unvaccinated individuals. That's his choice independant of what we may think is right/wrong and that choice should be respected. He also decided to say he was immunized when he could have just said that's a personal decision that he will not answer. Everyone assumed that his answer meant he had been vaccinated and he had plenty of opportunities to clarify his answer. His answer at the best could be called a deliberate attempt to mislead or at worst an outright lie. They are both the same in my book making him a liar and I don't have to respect that choice.

 

[Wi. Mike now in Florida]

Who here is old enough to remember 40-50 years ago in grade school getting vaccinated for polio,
and other vaccinations without a choice to get vaccinated or not??

You walk in school, stood inline, and that was it, no questions ask.

A different world out there today with everyone having chooses.

I remember taking home a some paper before we all got shots at school and that was in the mid-1960s Jefferson Elementary in Manitowoc, WI. I don't recall if it was a permission slip or just advance notification. What I also remember is that in 3rd grade one of friends did not go for the shots because the little b*st*rd punched me in my arm and laughed when we got back to the classroom. There must of been an opt out but yes, it's a different world today.

And that I agree with he should have just stated he was vaccinated or not but then again...I digress. That just shows his questionable character.

Would you please give it a rest… you’ve been told this already and yet you keep talking in circles. Your “revelation” is not new information and the rest of us understood it all along. I tried (and failed) to explain that to you yesterday. I do appreciate Captain having enumerated and laying out of the guidelines though. The issue is that it seems fairly likely that Rodgers did not follow many of these rules.

Another thing that wasn't listed above is that an unvaccinated player can't gather in a group of more than three players, coaches and other members of the football operation staff. Rodgers most likely broke that rule on Halloween while at a party several teammates attended as well.

Your grip about his lack of responsibility is set in stone while other's who counter this "missed the point" from you needs to "give it a rest?" LOL

Well, that is beyond the scope of my argument. My argument was just pointing out the hypocrisy from the media and some on here attacking him for not being vaccinated. Anyway...good post about the guidelines for the vaccinated/non-vaccinated.

Anti-vaxers just won't be happy until Americans are dying from polio and measles again. Once you realize that, you begin to understand that no logic or statistic is going to convince them. The only source of info they take anything from are professional snakeoil salesmen and their aunt's best friend's herbologist on Facebook.

Comical take.
Do you think Rodgers will take a bit longer to rebound? Just from the standpoint of I noticed I felt tired after getting it and granted I’m slightly older than Aaron (but double shotted) but that Delta offshoot made me feel tired imo.
I couldn’t ride my mountain bike comfortably for a few weeks etc..

I wish it was comical. Instead we have to deal with people that think Joe Rogan is a better source of medical information than friggin doctors.

Good news is that Pfizer has a pill, not sure what stage, that prevents deaths from Covid. So they say. That catalyst should be something to be happy about for the anti-vaxxers.

Never in a million years did I ever think I’d be “on the pill” If Oldschool being on the pill doesn’t go viral I’m not sure what to say.

@Sunshinepacker. You didn’t answer the question. Focus Packer Brother. Focus!

Or by golly.. is it Sister?

Rogan was just sharing his findings about what many doctors have said about Ivermectin being effective. Nothing more nothing less. No one claims that he knows more than doctors.
