The Aaron Rodgers performance thread

[Schultz]

My David Letterman top 10 on all of this.
10. Political correctness, defund the police, cancel culture and woke ness have made me become an independent.
9. I trust the CDC. I never got a flu shot until last year. I figured I have gotten the flu every year of my life, felt shiity then recovered what's the big deal. When they started saying covid has a lot of the same symptoms as the flu I thought get the flu shot so you don't freek out wondering which one you have.
8. Waking up with a hangover, pretending to be interested when your uncle is talking, attending mandatory work meetings etc..... are all a lot harder than wearing a mask yet only one of those could possibly be helping yours and the health of others.
7. I get that people have the right to not get the shot. That doesn't mean I do not think they are idiots.
6. How terrible of a candidate did Hillary have to be to lose to Trump?
5. How awful of a president did Trump have to be to lose to Biden?
4. Unfortunately I believe the Pack are in big trouble on Sunday.
3. None of this or anything else posted on these threads will change any bodies minds.
2. I believe AR as smart as he thinks he is thought his way of medicating himself would truly work and that he would never catch covid so it did not matter if he mislead anyone or if he followed all of the NFL rules.
1. If the post about the increase in total deaths in 2020 doesn't make you at least re-think your position that covid is just like the flu then nothing will.

I'm checking out of this thread. I'll come back when it's a discussion of Aaron's Performance (which is the title of thread) and not an analysis of the words "yeah", "vaccination", and "immunized".

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

That is certainly likely, but I don’t think they would have been able to find as much as a foothold against him… now the narrative can be “he lied” which is much harder to defend. I don’t disagree that it would still have been a story, and the press would have made what they could of it, but I think he made it easier on them.

Exactly, but people want to attempt to detract from your point of view about the subject at hand with a "what if this happened" and "look at what happened to this person". Often sighting their own singular experience, like they are a gold standard.

You’ll have to wait, he can’t play right now, he’s on timeout for acting like a 5 Yo

You keep coming in and b*tching about it, why don't you put those of us that are talking about it on ignore, instead of creating your own separate drama in the thread?

What are you expecting to find when you come in here this week and next? Rodgers isn't playing or practicing. No Football activity to report his performance for at least 10 days.

 

[AKCheese]

I don’t give a crap about Rodgers’ vax status and I don’t know why anyone else does. Bunch of busy-bodies here.

I only do because it means he’s missing games… I mean he’s probably also infecting other people but millions are doing that

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

Well and for those of us connecting the dots, his performance is influenced by his ability to play and lead the team. I would say the last week isn't allowing him to do either, which BTW he is paid what $32M or so to do?

 

[AKCheese]

Virtually every big name athlete that does pressers and has declined it has had to answer questions about why.

Maybe because it makes no sense that you think you should be able to spit all over all your teamates and opponents for huge dollars with total disregard for making them sick and in this case, ******** your team over. Ever hear the phrase “team player”?…. In Rodgers case the answer has frequently been… “huh?”

Seriously ski-roo-ing is taboo?

The one point that Rodgers made that I can’t argue with is the fact that since he was unvaccinated… he was tested Daily. Eventually he tested positive….. and everyone knew very shortly afterward. Vaccinated Players are not tested unless they show symptoms or are identified as close contact with a positive person…. So it’s hard to argue that he was more dangerous to others than the vaccinated players.

Again here goes the vilifying because he was not vaccinated but total disregard that those on that Covid list that were VACCINATED also caught it and spread the virus too. Just saying. lol

Actually pretty good timing to show that he caught it from a vaccinated teammate at his Halloween party that league protocol says he shouldn't have been at.

 

[Poppa San]

At its peak, Polio infected 35,000 in the US over course of a year.

Of which a majority were children or young adults hence the name infantile paralysis. Of those 35k, in any given year between .5 and 1.5% died.

Covid infected 30,000,000 people (those that tested the number is much higher) in a year.

Of which less than .0005% under the age of 30 in the US have died. Much fewer in that age bracket than have died of child abuse or the flu.

At least you are being honest with this one.

I’ll just offer props to @mongoosev. He has been cordial and professional and has debated in a civil manner, even though we also disagree on several fronts.

We’re all trying to make sense of this Vaccine - No Vaccine stuff as it relates to Aaron Rodgers. None of us have all the answers and we’re all human.
Just for the record. I don’t hold grudges or animosity or any of that. I sleep good at night and I forgive those who offend me because boy do I need that in return as I mess things up constantly.

Y’all my Packer Brothers and Sisters and we will be watching this team LONG after Aaron Rodgers is long gone. My hope is we regain our footing somehow. I’ll be praying for Aaron he needs to get healthy and maybe grow up a little. I mean that respectfully because I’m old enough to be his dad. A young one albeit.

Thank you, Brother. After taking a long break from sports I came back to this site and have come off as, how do I say, a "troll" and ruffled some feathers and I did not mean to or mean to rub anyone in a bad way but have inadvertently made a fool out of myself trying to have some fun. So yes, there are some on here that don't take me serious now. LOL

However, in this case I have taken a firm stance trying to defend Rodgers not in a personal sense but try to in a sensible and rational way while being respectful and trying to understand other's view points. And I want to thank you for at least sharing your view points and listening to mine. Sadly, today's society has become so mob-mentality like that people are quick to attack others if you don't think or share the same beliefs as them.

Oddly enough I was very vocal about Rodger's odd character prior to this season but was also at odds and blamed by the Rodgers' fans as an "enemy."

With that said...Go Pack go!

 

[BrokenArrow]

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

What makes you think I care about proving to anyone else what I already know for myself?

2. I believe AR as smart as he thinks he is thought his way of medicating himself would truly work and that he would never catch covid so it did not matter if he mislead anyone or if he followed all of the NFL rules.

They say the vax doesn't so much prevent you from getting the plague so much as it helps you get over it quicker and increases the already VERY high likelihood of surviving it. Rodgers only had symptoms for a couple days. Hmm...

 

[BrokenArrow]

Sadly, today's society has become so mob-mentality like that people are quick to attack others if you don't think or share the same beliefs as them.

And you can place the blame for that squarely on the shoulders of social media.

 

[longtimefan]

So when you toss out a stat..we are suppose to just believe it? Im not saying your wrong or right. I would really like to see how you came to that figure. I love to get behind reasoning people have

 

[longtimefan]

okay, so if i understand this correctly, the covid vaccination will not stop the virus from entering your body. many many many people who have been vaccinated have still ended up testing positive for covid. so if that is true, how is rodgers' getting an alternative inoculation so shameful? he still would have tested positive for covid even if he had taken the pfizer/moderna shots. i don't think irvin has ever been held up as a genius, so i'm not buying into his babbling.

You cant say for 100 percent certain if rodgers was vax he would tested positive..

Thats an assumption..

 

[swhitset]

Well… you did bother to post it … so at some point you cared … at least a little bit. Beyond that I guess I don’t really care if you care either lol.

Exactly…. I have no idea what the facts are behind his statement…. if he just made it up …. fine…. but I was actually curious.

As far as Rodgers vs Brady in last years NFCCG or big games in general for that matter. Brady found a way to win, Rodgers did not. When his D handed him the ball 3 times in the second half he came up short. Rodgers has great stats, Brady has rings. People said it was all Belechik…. So he goes and wins another one first time out of the gate with a new team new coach. If it’s not GB I hope he does it again THIS year

It was Brady's supporting cast that ended up winning the game for the Bucs while the Packers weren't able to despite their quarterback performing at a higher level.

BTW the Packers and Rodgers received the ball on Brady's three interceptions on their own 19, 24 and 32. Those were actually similar as if the Bucs had punted.

On the other side Brady got the ball on the Bucs' 49 and the Packers' 8-yard line after the two turnovers by Green Bay in that game.

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

Actually pretty good timing to show that he caught it from a vaccinated teammate at his Halloween party that league protocol says he shouldn't have been at.

Or...spread it to more teammates.

The Rodgers drama aside, I don't think that the Packers have seen the last of covid.

 

[PackAttack12]

Wrong. When Bob D asked him if he was vaccinated he said "Yeah. I'm immunized." He answered in the affirmative

That's fair. But again, if the reporters in that room were better at their jobs, they would've never let that go unchecked. I listened to it that day and thought it was a curious way to phrase it.

At the end of the day though, it's no one's business except for the people that knew.

First, isn't it also Aaron Rodgers job to correct it? He had 2 chances to do so, one after the presser in August and recently. Fans and the media took him on his word.

Second, if at the end of the day, it is "no one's business", which I am not debating, why did he answer the question at all?
