it's just a real dire situation and one that I think is without precedent in the NFL. I mean a lot of teams have been in that "if our QB gets hurt we're just screwed" situation (ever see Rodgers' backups in Green Bay?) but to reshape your entire offense and blow up your payroll for one guy only to have him suddenly go out for the whole year, maybe forever, without having even completed a pass...idk there's no playbook for that
best hope is they can scrap their way to a 3-3 record and maybe see what's available from there. or maybe Zach Wilson can actually figure something out. either way they gotta sign someone, I mean I don't think the Jets even have a backup QB right now and the way the OL is playing they might get Wilson killed next week too

Doubt he has any interest but one cool surprise unretirement scenario is Andrew Luck…he’s relatively young, has a similar game to Rodgers, and maybe is all healed up by now

Who was the last quarterback to return after tearing his achilles? Couldn't think of anyone off the top of my head.
The guys on OTH had to go all the way back to Sonny Jurgensen.

I liked Drew Magary's take on this. The injury just sucks for everyone. I really just wanted to see him do what Favre did in Minnesota (specifically, what he did on the last possession of the NFCCG). But alas.

It's wild, the vaxx was probably the best thing to happen under Trump's watch, and they don't want to own it.

thing is Rodgers could actually be pretty useful on the sidelines given this is a great team with a young QB and some players he knows very well, somehow i doubt he's willing to help out much though

“There’s a lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, really hoping that doesn’t come out,” Rodgers said regarding the Epstein client list, while appearing on Pat McAfee’s show, via Michaela Zee of Variety.com.Said Kimmel, on X: “Dear Aasshole: for the record, I’ve not met, flown with, visited, or had any contact whatsoever with Epstein, nor will you find my name on any ‘list’ other than the clearly-phony nonsense that soft-brained wackos like yourself can’t seem to distinguish from reality. Your reckless words put my family in danger. Keep it up and we will debate the facts further in court.”

for more context on this, I'm pretty sure Kimmel was making fun of him in a monologue recently

I'd say that was more than a hint. It was an explicit warning to retract the statement or otherwise make an apology, or else face litigation and a shitload of damages for running his mouth.

rightfully so too, there's just something about Jimmy that seems to piss these guys off more than the other late night dudes, I think it's because Jimmy Kimmel is exactly the sort of person these guys wish actually liked them.
