The Aaron Rodgers performance thread

[Dantés]

At least Favre had an excuse - dumb as a rock. NO ONE who desserts to the Vikings deserves ANY respect or fans.

Yeah, I mean bring them vegetables if anything. Maybe some muffins. Never full blown dessert.

So bottom line, to make it easy for you vaxxers to understand, is that you are mad he didn't get VACCINATED even though he didn't have to. Just admit it!

I’m vaccinated and and not mad at all for him not getting vaccinated (had he not purposely lied and circumvented the league protocols)
There’s people all around me that didn’t get vaccinated and there are plenty of NFL athletes that chose not to. However everyone else seems to have followed standard NFL protocols except our QB or at least made it clear they were not going to vaccinate.

He’s not only knowingly broken the League rules, he’s trying to cover it up and, in doing so, he’s put our entire team in a compromising situation.
Do we lie for him?

Not to mention the health aspects of publicly faking like a vaccinated person.
I respect a person for their choice, that’s never been the issue here. I believe that argument is being used either intentionally or unintentionally as a distraction from the real issue. He broke league mandates and jeopardized the Packer organization, it’s reputation and it’s safety. These distractions are becoming more and more regular and increasing in intensity.

There wasnt...as others said players didnt have to get vax. No where is it mandatory to get vax

I know there isn't just being sarcastic but people on here vilified Rodgers as if there was a mandate and he neglected his obligation. I guess their argument is that he was irresponsible because he didn't get the Covid vaccine and now has to sit out while ignoring the covid list has players on it that took the vaccine. So just wanted to point that out.

 

[realitybytez]

I was in the Army for 24 years. I had to get I would guess well over 100 shots. People who chose not to were shown the door.

first of all: thank you for your service.

secondly, i had no idea it was that easy to get out of the army. i bet a lot of those who were drafted and maimed in viet nam would have loved to have known this back then.

 

[mongoosev]

I think this (and other threads) is a pretty good indication of why.

No he just likes to cry about being censored then throws insults and childish retorts when someone doesn't share his viewpoints.

I'm also vaccinated because it was required by my employer. I get what you are saying, Old. It does show his character that he would try to be deceitful and condescending but you have to agree that he wasn't mandated to take it. Also, if he did jeopardize the people around him while ignoring guidelines for those not vaccinated then he should be dealt with but also shows how this organization also failed to follow their own protocols if they knew he was not vaccinated. In addition to that Rodgers catching the Covid virus and him being out is no different than those players who did get vaccinated as an end result In that regard it just boils down to people vilifying him because he didn't get vaccinated.
Just to clarify I should have stated "some" vaxxers.

Proff?

Statistics on the mortality rate of polio in the 50's and 60's is pretty easy to find.

People have the right to be mad he didnt get vax. They feel he had a responsibility to be a leader and try to protect people around him.

You ( or others) have the right to agree he didnt have to get the vax. No one is right or wrong, it's personal belief.

IMO he should have said the exact word of unvaccinated. Then all this wouldn't have happened.

I also fully understand his point that he is tested everyday if negative why the need to wear a mask? Not saying I agree or disagree to wear or not wear. I just understand his pov

so then i can expect you to provide one?

 

[BrokenArrow]

He lied shout being vaccinated it’s on video so we need not guess anymore.

Show me one video where he said he was vaccinated.

 

[BrokenArrow]

so then i can expect you to provide one?

Look, man. No offense, but if you're not interested enough to do a quick Google search, I'm not wasting my time doing it for you. It's really no skin off my back. I'm confident in my own knowledge and research and that's enough for me. If you want to try to convince me otherwise, I'll be around Sound fair? Go Pack!

you gave the number, i didnt .

he said immunized. never said vax..immunized..but you knew this

If he would have said not vaccinated we probably wouldnt be here

You're right and that is why America is a great country because there are different view points that can be shared.

And if your issue with him is him lying I totally understand but I also think that many people who would still villify the guy if he did come out and say he wasn't vaccinated.

i think people are disappointed that he was deceitful (closest I could think of) in his answer about the vax.. I mentioned b4, if he said he wasnt vax, none of this would have happened. The story and the anger

you are hilarious…. you make a claim… and then refuse to back it up saying it’s our responsibility to prove your point.

I doubt that …. because no one would have been taken by surprise.

But again, he never said he was vaccinated, which someone here accused him of doing and lying about it.

 

[BrokenArrow]

you gave the number, i didnt .

Correct. And you're free to rebut if you'd like

 

[BrokenArrow]

I've yet to see a single person produce proof that Rodgers ever said he was vaccinated, but it doesn't stop people from accusing him of doing so.

Well, that is why I stressed the word "mandate" since he wasn't required to take the vaccine. I get that people are upset because he mislead people into thinking he was vaccinated but they have to realize he was not required to take it. But like you said they have every right to be upset.

 

[swhitset]

I've yet to see a single person produce proof that Rodgers ever said he was vaccinated, but it doesn't stop people from accusing him of doing so.

I’ll take that a win…. sidestepping to a different argument does nothing to prove your point.

 

[PackAttack12]

I'll admit that some of what Rodgers said on the Pat McAfee show was kind of all over the place. I think he made some very solid points, but I also feel like he overplayed his hand and threw too much at the wall hoping that it would stick.

But at the end of the day, he said he was immunized, not vaccinated. If any of those reporters in that room were a little better at their jobs, that comment would've never been allowed to slide without a follow up.

He and the Packers are saying that he followed all protocols (except in the media room). We'll see if that holds up in the coming days. If that's the case, no harm there.

So he made a decision about his body. And just because it's unpopular or not the perceived conventional wisdom, he's getting put through the ringer. And before someone says he lied or he misled, I'm sorry but that just doesn't hold weight with me. The Packers knew, his teammates knew, the league knew. And Rodgers put it all on a silver platter for a follow up, but all of the knuckleheads in the Packers media didn't follow up and now they are pis*y about it.

Here's a hint. If you would've done your job back in August, maybe you would've gotten your answer. but I have no issue with Rodgers not being exactly overly willing to divulge everything about his personal health decision when everyone who needed to know, knew.

The hysteria around this is truly flabbergasting to me.

Deflection at its finest lol

As with almost everything, you can do what you want - just be prepared for the consequences. Leaving the military because one doesn't follow the rules normally comes with a pretty unpleasant piece of paperwork.

 

[Mondio]

I doubt that …. because no one would have been taken by surprise.

Can you name an athlete, celebrity, politician, anybody with some stature in the public eye that has come out and said they are not getting vaccinated and they were still supported by social media platforms, news outlets and fans?

I can’t.

I have zero doubt he would have been run through it the same or worse than guys like Cousins, or Cole Beasley.

Malik Taylor was positive was he vaccinated? Lancaster? Benkert? Adams?

Everyone is taking about Rodgers.

The only thing I think would have been different is they would have been bagging on him earlier in the year and the moment he tested positive all the stories would have intensified about selfishness and foolishness and hurting the team and everything else.
