Aaron Rogers....injury update....

Aaron has *75 million guaranteed for 2023-2024. At least he won’t be starving during his rehab.
 
Rodgers had a "calf injury" during training camp...I would love to know whether it was really calf or Achilles related injury that he exasperated last night. He looked awkward when he was throwing in warm-ups like he was trying to keep weight off of his leg. The NFL needs to ban field turf...too many marquee players are getting injured. I am surprised with the amount of money that franchise players are getting that the owners are not against field turf. The Jets are now paying 75 million dollars to Rodgers for 4 plays, and that injury does not happen on natural grass.
 
NFL just posted on Facebook, he's out for the year. I tired to paste something from the link, but it's embedded in FB, and well, you all know how to search. :)

75 million dollars for 4 plays. Wow. Winning.
 
On the plus side, they only have to give up a second instead of a first now… this injury was the last FU to Green Bay from him…

Preliniary reports are that X-Rays on the ankle were negative but that's the good news. The bad news is they believe Aaron Rogers has a Torn Achilles tendon and Head Coach Robert Saleh indicated so in his post game when asked if it was his Achilles he said "It's not Good". Indicating preliminary reports that Rogers indeed has a serious Achilles injury. MRI tomorrow will confirm what they suspect but if you watch the replay you can see his left foot firmly on the turf and his ankle and leg entended forward towards his toes which would put tremendous pressure on his achilles and it most likely tore at that point.

Met Life Stadium is a newer stadium but there is a history of season ending injuries occuring on that field.....WTF hasn't the NFL banned Artifical Turf or whatever the **** they call it?

The NY Jets are just a Snake Bitten organization.....I think the only team that might have a worse track record is the Cleveland Browns but man the NY Jets just can't catch a break!

Ian Rapoport just reported on Twitter that it is indeed believed to be a Ruptured Achilles and that Aaron Rogers is done for the season!

Years ago there was a study that showed that there’s no increased risk of injury on turf. I don’t know if there have been subsequent studies.
 
Seeing his calf muscle roll up like an old fashioned window blind wasn't exactly on a Theismann like level, but it still looked pretty bad. I'm not a fan of AR, in fact he comes across like a **** but it's too bad to see a good career go down like this.
 
Here's the other thing. Rodgers will be on the wrong side of 40 come next year and the Jets will have to sign both tackles (or new ones) and Whitehead. They can probably do that but they won't be a better team they would be the same team at best. The team that offensive line makes the Steelers look like the 1980's Redskins.

The study that everyone points too was paid for by "FieldTurf" the company to show that their product was equal to or better than grass. They omitted any injury that could have occurred on grass the same as on the field turf. The study was a farce at best.

Lol i bet it was generic injuries not specifically knee and ankle ligaments…in a study sponsored by astroturf🤣🤣🤣 because almost every horrible one I’ve seen has been from turf… it doesn’t give like grass does… a slight pull or sprain on grass becomes a devastating injury on turf

Yeah, I used to have a copy of the study on an old computer or hard drive and can't find it right now. If I find it I will post it. You have to go to the very back and very fine print to see the limitations and exclusions for the study. It was a complete and total sham of a study.
 
Floggy is not really very good at reading comprehension/context of studies, unless an email or someone at work tells him what to think. Or if it comes from a reliable source like MSNBC/CNN.

This is another one published in The Lancet earlier this year that backs it up.

Again, that is specifically from low contact soccer data… and it doesn’t look at severity, just cases…
The argument against turf is that a higher number of severe injuries happen on it… this is because grass and dirt tend to have a lower tensile strength than the nylon and polymers that artificial turf does… a simple sprain on grass become blown out ligaments on turf…

There is also long term injury concerns… because traditionally it is a harder surface than grass, ot can cause the types of long term joint injury… though I believe this is lessened in modern turf…
 
I always hate to see people go out on injuries let alone possible career ending. They put so much time and effort into the sport. Definitely feel bad for them...
 
He's done for the year. That's terrible for Jets fans and the NFL for parody in the AFC. This is now Buffalo and Miami's division to fight for. The Jets will retreat to obscurity and disappear from contention.
 
ESPN just confirmed that he is out for the year.

I could have sucked for four plays for a lot less. They should have called me.

I also heard that Kapernicks people reached out to the Jets. Maybe Uncle Ricos people should reach out to the Jets, too.

specifically that turf at metlife stadium, there's something ESPECIALLY screwy going on with that field. a BUNCH of players have had season-ending injuries playing on that surface over the last 2-3 seasons.
