Am I the only one who remembers Rodger poor play for two or three weeks after his previous concussion?

Why do you mental midgets think sitting at home and screaming at the TV and internet is the same thing as being an NFL professional?

I agree with Buddy here. Though I understand the NFL’s liability concerns, the concussion issue is nearing hysteria. This rule of a player showing any signs of even the mildest concussion having to sit out the game actually encourages defenders to take shots at QBs. I mean, why not? The shot Landon Johnson put on A-Rodge was clean, but it was also unnecessary. A-Rodge was going to the ground when Johnson put his shoulder in A-Rodge’s back. A-Rodge knocks his head on the turf, and boom, just like that the Packers are without their starting QB. Johnson practically won that game himself, though it might have been some sort of justice that he was injured even more seriously later in the game.

We have all had concussions. The mild ones where your head spins for a while and you see some stars, we probably kept right on with our days like nothing happened. Sure, there are the severe concussions where you blackout and have memory loss and can’t sleep for awhile. Those are a different story.

Both of these concussions for A-Rodge appear to be the mild variety. In both cases, A-Rodge was lucid immediately afterwards. In the Washington game, he actually walked off the field after the play, apparently unaware that he even had one.

My concern with A-Rodge playing at this point isn’t medical. It is the fact that playing against a Bellichick defense with limited reps and little film study is not a recipe for success.

On the other hand, since a loss this week all but dooms the Packers’ playoff chances, they should seriously consider playing him.
