So 11 weeks after his surgery, the Jests opened the 21 day return to practice window for AR today. For all you medical guys out there, what do you think the real story is? Was his new procedure a real medical breakthrough ? Is he a miracle healer? Maybe he wasn’t hurt nearly as bad as was initially reported? Or maybe there’s no chance he comes back this year and this is just another PR play to keep the Jests in the news? I can’t see much logic in risking his 40 year old body to coming back too soon
Hahaha nice one.
I mean I think we all have to assume it wasn't a normal tear. I wonder if it was a high grade sprain or just a smaller tear.
There are also new, less-invasive types of surgery to repair Achilles injuries which reduce healing time and thus rehab time.
every patient heals differently.
When you are cleared by medical professionals to resume certain activities then is when it is time to resume those activities.
it's not too soon because fat couch sitting pizza eating slobs things it's too soon.
"is it worth rushing a 40-year old back from injury"? WTF do you know?
no offense and I mean this with all due respect.

As a proud member of the fat couch sitting pizza eating slobs community, I demand you cancel yourself for this hate speech. I would spearhead the effort it, but my people aren't on social media much.

They even had Garth Brooks talking about him "On the sidelines walking around..." during his pre-halftime show interview. "How inspirational Aaron is..."
They'll keep trotting him out there to keep hopes up.
I think I'm with you
You know that was based on a true story. He did come back and play on that injury and ruined his knee and career.

I think in the book that scene was exaggerated
I actually just looked him up and never realized he actually was arrested later in life.

I think there is a Booby Miles documentary. It was pretty good if I remember correctly. I think they had him playing on a torn ACL or something.

Came here to say this. Another fun fact: our very own Jessie Armstead played LB for the other team in the finals in the real life game. I want to say he tipped the pass that fell incomplete to end the game, but I'm probably making it up.
I also think Achilles injuries are not as bad as they used to be. Didn't Cam Akers come back for the playoffs/Super Bowl after tearing his early in camp. I think medicine has gotten better in this area.
ACLs however are still pretty much a year or more. I'm sure this has to do with severity of the injury, cartilage damage and type of procedure performed. It's too bad there hasn't been more of an advance here. I guess the recovery rates from it are better than they used to be.
I think that’s just what people say that hate him. He seems perfectly fine quietly living his own life, in fact, people complain when he does that, too.
He detests the media, and fucks with them because they are terrible at their jobs. That’s about the only thing I see him truly enjoying and don’t see it as trying to stay relevant.
Our views often align but gotta disagree here. Rodgers isn't out there live streaming, in the news every day, etc. No skin off my ass, but the reasons people often give for disliking the guy don't always add up.
It's the Jets, so yes.
The only advantage I can think of is it would get the mental doubt from returning from an injury out of the way now, in meaningless games, making Rodgers fully available for the off season.
How hard is Green Bay GM laughing ?

if for no other reason than it will annoy all the people that hate him.

Well, I dislike him but definitely want to see him come back.
First, I feel cheated that I didn't get to see him play this year - he's a great talent.
Second, I want to see if the blowhard can really pull it off.

I detest Rodgers, but I somewhat feel bad for him too. He comes across as someone who desperately needs to stay in the news and be relevant.

Because the guy comes off as a know it all.
And he's allowed to do that LOL
But I'm also allowed to feel that way too.
you mean like every year?

Exactly!!
Thank you!
Not after the shit year they're having now. The Jets are no better than the Giants

nochance, thats what ya got (Vince McMahon theme)
Oh not these Jets fans. I’ve never seen a more arrogant, obnoxious fan base.
Or...
Why so many love Rodgers.
Too easy.
Lol, yeah because that argument has held up well. And way to make it political.

Haha - well, I guess I did. Btw, I am in full agreement with your 4:06 pm post!
