so you're telling me all the miracle healing stories were for clicks and keeping his name in the press?

well, gomer, surprise surprise surprise

he's become such a doofus.  so glad he's not our doofus anymore

I mean he was participating in practice and had some sort of leaping interception while playing on the scout team. I think this is more about the 5-9 record than it is his ability to play in another week or two.

Smart move, there's nothing to gain by having him play now other than weaken the Jets (and Packers!!) draft position. 

And then thereโ€™s this articleโ€ฆโ€ฆ..

In an NFL season marked by unpredictability, one certainty has emerged: Aaron Rodgers is as good a self-promoter as he is a quarterback. Maybe better.

The four-time NFL MVP was never going to make it back this season. No matter the number of times he was seen throwing on the sideline or how many optimistic updates he gave, it wasnโ€™t going to happen. The man had surgery to repair his shredded Achilles a mere 14 weeks ago. The fastest, most amazing recovery from such an injury by an elite athlete was five months. You do the math.

But Rodgers was committed. To keeping himself in the spotlight.

Once one of the more thoughtful and humble players in the NFL, Rodgers has made a late-career shift into carnival barker extraordinaire. He got hoodwinked by junk science during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and somehow thought that made him an enlightened renegade. He spouted that nonsense and styled himself as a free speech warrior when he was criticized for it.

A tip for Rodgers: Free speech does not mean what you think it does. It means the government cannot silence you or take measures to limit your ability to promote your lunatic theories. It does not mean society cannot ridicule you for your arrogance and ignorance.

Guy is blowing off steam in you face and you're chewing gum and blowing bubbles!

If he engages, "Rodgers betrays the coaches!!!"   

If he remains calm and lets teammate vent, "Rodgers doesn't care about his team!!!"

Doesn't it get tiring always looking for the negative angle?    They could have been talking about how horrible the last season of Game of Thrones was for all we know.   You see his arm go up mimicking the flight path of the dragon.
