Pat gets all the attention now and Aaron can't stand it!!

Hard to believe he'd come back far faster than any pro athlete in history for a team that is out of the playoffs.

Had a good friend of mine who is a serious runner who tore his achilles 'partially' and he was back running in 2 1/2 months and this guy was 60 when he did it. Because Rodgers is 20yrs younger I'm not surprised.

As fast as he comes back, is exactly how fast he leaves. At his age, he is setting himself up for a career ending injury. This is STUPID on his part. But, YOU do YOU!

[Stryker]

EVEN if he comes back and is successful, the Jets are not even remotely in contention for a successful season.

I’m unable to generate even the smallest bit of interest in the latest installment of “past his prime QB tries one last grasp at cash and glory with a crappy team”

[Buehler445]

So they're the 15 seed, 2 games out of the wildcard.

Sounds like a good idea.

Not sure why Rodgers is rushing back, given the state of the Jets season, unless he's just trying to make a point, and I don't necessarily put it past him to do something like that.

10-7 may get you in the dance if you can get some help. Jets have 7 losses as I type this and will probably have more by the time Rodgers returns.

All they're doing now is hurting their draft position, and risking next season should Rodgers re-injures himself again, which would be the most Jets thing ever.

[Nickhead]

i ****ing told you all, if he plays, he faked the injury, somehow

[Chiefs4TheWin]

Odds are this turns out bad. If he pulls it off good for him.

The unparalleled Ray Ratto on Rogers’ return:

“Shame on you for thinking it'd be somehow "humorous" if Rodgers is cleared to start against the Commanders on Dec. 24, the first game after the 21-game practice window closes. You must be a low sort of person to get enjoyment out of a hypothetical scenario where the Jets win the toss and elect to receive, and on his very first play from scrimmage since his injury, Rodgers drops back to pass, and tears his Achilles again. Oh, you think that's funny? You think it's funny that a man's hubris could lead him to force his way back onto the field well before he's fully healed, and he tears the same tendon, as all common sense said he would? You think it's a laugh riot? That the tear is even worse this time? That his tendon snapped like a rubber band? You're sitting there having a giggle as Aaron Rodgers is writhing in pain on the turf, wondering if his career is over, and CBS's sad injury music starts playing, and then they smash cut to that commercial that goes "WHOPPER WHOPPER WHOPPER WHOPPER"?

You sicko, now you're probably thinking about whether it'd be even more funny, or slightly less funny but still very funny, if Rodgers returns and tears his other Achilles.“

Not this season. All the talk this season has been Hurts and Dak.

LOL. That is really funny.
