For those who are confused how this is possible, he had an experimental surgery on his Achilles where he had metal wires placed in it to allow the Achilles to heal with far less stress from physical activity

With the Jets sitting at 4-7, I wonder if it's worth the risk for him to come back? I think we can all agree that the Jets are a complete team and quarterback play is the reason they are not 7-4 or better.

I hope the surgery doesn't work so we don't have to listen to him talk about his alternative health methods for the rest of time.

No reason at all for him to return this year, all their games are meaningless at this point.

 

[Havic]

No contact practice but he won’t be in any games this year

You don't have to listen if you choose not to. Be an adult

Hope it does work means the alternative treatment is far superior and it can help others

I would imagine that he will practice for the next two weeks to see how it goes. The Jets are a couple games from the WC with the Falcons and Texans coming up. IF the Jets can somehow beat them both to get a game out, he might start against the Dolphins for the last four games.

If the Jets fall another game back, he should just stay off the field, get ready for next season.

I disagree a little. I think their offensive line is average at best. They have quality at all other areas, but their line is not inspiring. Better QB play definitely will help the line, but they will still be limited.

Whether it's toward the end of this season - or the start of 2024 - Aaron Rodgers was not going to have that injury be how his stellar NFL career ends.

They aren't his alternative health methods. It is a relatively new procedure that he happened to be one of the first big names to receive.

Thank you @Reality for not putting his picture up. I'm allergic to the sight of him.

Right? That was some straight hate wanting someone’s surgery to fail.

Superbowl or bust!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah we should have stuck to blood letting and leeches, the suckers.....

Nobody is going to be able to afford it.

Plus, there's no practical application for a faster rehab to this degree for something like 99% of people. 4 months vs. 6 months isn't some medical miracle.

They aren't his alternative health methods. It is a relatively new procedure that he happened to be one of the first big names to receive.

Which he is going to endlessly leverage to talk about "modern common medicine isn't always right blah blah blah."

The guy's sole motivation for coming back to play is so that he could say he did, and it's for that reason.
