There is a serious conundrum unfolding in Green Bay. The are eliminated from the playoffs and they have an injured . So what do they do with him moving forward, over the final two weeks of the season?If Rodgers gets his druthers, he'll play, and he said as much on Wednesday."Yes," about whether he'd suit up Sunday against the Scooter Gennett Jersey . "It's about leadership, how can I stand here and say these games don't matter ... that's not the way I lead. I'm super competitive."That's a good school of thought to have. The other 52 guys on the roster don't want to see Rodgers deactivated because the season is over, with Green Bay giving up and packing it in, knowing the final two games of the season don't matter. Besides, you can't build up the kind of late-season play from your teammates you need in the heat of a playoff battle by sitting them during late-season games that "don't count." More on the NFL Winning games now is nice - Tucker Barnhart Jersey - building a rapport with young wide receivers and getting guys like Equanimous St.-Brown and reps on the field with Rodgers is invaluable. , it's absolutely insane for the Packers to put Rodgers on the field and play him over the final two weeks. The Packers 2017 fell apart because Rodgers suffered a broken collarbone on his throwing shoulder. He was supposed to come back this season and burn everything to the ground in a revenge tour ... and that didn't happen. Instead, Rodgers struggled, the Packers were terrible, the offense looked questionable and Mike McCarthy got fired. Part of the problem was Rodgers dealing with a knee injury in Week 1 against Chicago. It looked like he might be done for the year in the first half; () and push Green Bay to a surprising victory. , and in Week 15 he suffered a groin injury while losing to the Bears. Now Green Bay is auditioning Joe Philbin for the full-time job and looking at other potential Raisel Iglesias Jersey candidates, one of whom will be lucky enough to work with Rodgers. A suming he's healthy -- what happens if, over the next two weeks, Rodgers goes out and tears his ACL? The outcome of these games do not matter one iota for the Packers, but losing Rodgers for several months would have a major impact on the quarterback's 2019 season.Playing with a groin injury and a knee injury is exactly how you end up overcompensating and suffering a worse injury. Rodgers hasn't looked good Luis Castillo Jersey for a large portion of the season and he didn't look good on Sunday. He mi sed some easy throws, including a freebie touchdown if he throws the ball correctly. this is just strange to see. Sean Wagner-McGough (@seanjwagner) If Rodgers goes out on the field and plays poorly and suffers an injury, it could not only set back the coming season, it could alter the coaching search. If a candidate saw Rodgers suffer a Sonny Gray Jersey torn ACL -- or whatever serious injury you want to put in here -- in late December of 2018, he might think twice about taking the gig. After all, there will be high expectations for the next Packers coach, and it's a lot harder to meet those expectations when Rodgers isn't available to learn a (presumably) new offense and get on the same page with any free-agent additions. This is a critical offseason for the aging quarterback.Rodgers' points are all very valid. He shouldn't just skip the games because they don't count. But he shouldn't play just to play. The bigger picture is more important in Green Bay than the last two weeks of a lost season.
