    I don’t get it. Isn’t the Jets O-Line still mega trash? Why would he want to rush back into this?

    On the one hand I fully believe the NFL is turning a blind eye to him using HGH or something similar to accelerate his recovery because the story would sell (elite HOF QB playing in biggest market overcomes odds, the books/movies write themselves)

    On the other, I also think Rodgers is an attention whore who would absolutely be acting this way even if a return was completely and utterly impossible.

    Idk which one I believe more

      I’m sure you’ll get or already have plenty of replies about how actually Rodgers isn’t an attention whore, and the media just follows him around.

    I think the bigger question is, even if the Jets are still in playoff contention in mid-December, would the team even want to clear him to return?

    Like, if their in a spot where they need to win their last 3 games to make the playoffs, is the risk of putting him out there actually even worth it?

    There are only 2 options here. Either he and NYJ lied about the severity of his injury or he’s taking a massive amount of roids to recover.

    Kyler Murray made his return after a few Fortnites too.

    So 2-3 fortnights, 4-6 weeks. At that point, the Jets will be somewhere between 5-9 and 7-7

    I’ve very much enjoyed Giant Douche’s absence from football.

    It’s clear how this plays out a few fortnight’s from now:

    Rodgers: Hey everybody I’m ready to play!

    Doctors: No you’re not cleared for contact. Maybe next week.

    The following week the Jets are eliminated from playoff contention

    Rodgers: Well I tried guys but they wouldn’t let me. Now the team just wants to be safe and not risk anything for 1 have that doesn’t mean anything to playoffs. See ya next year guys!

    I find all this talk kind of weird… wouldn’t a 40 year old coming back from an achilles rupture in 4 months be nothing short of a medical miracle?
