Holy crap. What a thread.

8 days ago the season had so much promise.  Now I even wonder if we will see him in a Packer uniform again.

Wow

[Pakuni]

He's just trolling us, right? Please tell me he's just trolling us.

@WillBrinson: Aaron Rodgers says he "consulted with a now good friend of mine Joe Rogan" and he's been following his podcast advice

[JWags85]

This is INCREDIBLE.  Dude is on the way to questioning the moon landing, outing himself as a flat earther, and mentioning lizard people.

What a Friday

I'm not ready to go that far, but it's really a wild ride to see a dude just go mask off.

(Note: lifelong Packers fan here) Granted I've thought Rodgers is a sociopath and a lunatic for a long long time, but watching him just loudly and unrepentantly declare his lunacy to the world is really something.

I had to double check to make sure I wasn’t reading a relative’s FB page.

Woke mob. Ivermectin. My body my choice. MLK. Joe Rogan. Did my own research. Critical thinker.

Are we there yet?

Can Q membership be far behind for Aaron?

I'll give him a pass on the 'woke mob" criticism though, as they should be criticized at every turn. They are the left's version of QAnon.

[jficke13]

The absolutely only way this tour de facebook-eaten-gray matter isn't damningly-stupid is if he really actually were trolling. It's so out there it really does almost look like it. Ivermectin? "good friend" Joe Rogan? He 100% sat down and planned to say every buzz word, the only question is whether he's just trying to be the Joker by doing so because he loves chaos, or is it because he actually believes all that?

[Jockey]

If he's healthy, I think so.  I mean, his first year with the Browns was really good.  It wasn't that stellar 2016 season, but 75 catches for over 1000 yards on a dumpster fire of a Freddie Kitchens offense isn't anything to sniff at.

I found this interesting

As I said earlier, I don't think he's a good fit for the Browns at this point.  So it will be interesting to see where he lands.  He's not even 30.  If his knee is fine, I don't think its crazy to think he could be a top 10-15 WR again in a good system.

Isn't it time to stop blaming Kitchens for OBJ's suckage? It's Eli's fault, its's McAdoo's fault, it's Baker's fault, it's Stefanski's fault.

C'mon, maybe he's just a guy at this point in his career. Maybe Landry is just a better receiver at this point.

[Jockey]

If he clears waivers, my guess is either the Bucs or the Rams.

Saints. t's back home and he can be the "star".

Maybe the Bucs or Rams, but I can't see him going to a place where he has zero chance of being the #1 receiver.

Its intermingled with WAYYY too much "im the smartest" detail though.  Presenting 500 pages of research to the NFL he's so proud of.  His "next great chapter of my life is being a father".  He's so high off his own supply he's just going all in.  We are getting a true glimpse at narcissistic personality disorder

I think this is right.

I also think there's a chance when he realizes that only the lunatics of the world buy into the whole Joe Rogan enlightened sage thing and everyone else hates him and thinks he's an idiot that he tries to pretend he was joking. He's absurdly image conscious.

Yeah.  Pretty much nailed it.

Where did I blame Kitchens?  Kitchens offense and scheme and EVERYTHING was terrible and OBJ still had a nice year.

And I never said it was Baker or Stefanski's fault, its just not a great system for a WR who is coming off an injury and needs a ton of targets both based on style of play and personality.  There is a lot of stupid noise around it, but for football reasons I totally get the running first Browns not making sense.

If he's truly healthy, this is the only healthy season he's had in the league where he hasn't been good.  He was potentially on pace for career bests in catches and yards in 2018.

Worrying that he's made of glass is fair.  But even with outbursts or diva personalities, dude still puts up numbers.  Fit is very much a real thing, especially at the WR position.  The NFL isn't Madden 2021

[MUfan12]

I knew he was an extreme narcissist but I didn't think I'd be calling him QAaron. Holy f*ckballs.

[cheebs09]

Based on his comments, I have a hard time believing if he didn’t have an allergy, he would have gotten the vaccine. I’d honestly not be surprised if that was made up to cover himself.

Agreed with others. No way he’d be able to end it with the allergy. He has to show he’s smarter than everyone else.

Honestly, if the Packers move on from him this year, this interview is a dream for them.

[ATL MU Warrior]

I wonder if his State Farm gig will be in jeopardy due to this?

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

If he would have said "I am allergic" and followed the protocols, that would have been fine.  The problem is that the league and team KNEW he wasn't vaccinated and didn't follow protocols.  Which leads you to believe that the protocols aren't really all that serious,

"Rodgers is claiming that in 2020 the left was anti-vaccine while Trump was president, and then suddenly after Biden's election,"

He's actually not totally wrong here - some on the left did express skepticism and hesitation (including Kamala Harris and Andrew Cuomo). I think the truth in his comments is an indictment of how radically politically polarized we are as a society. Even when Trump said to get the vaccine he was greeted with boos.

I wonder if his State Farm gig will be in jeopardy due to this?

maybe, but no doubt his Rogers rate just jumped significantly.

[Uncle Rico]

Who was cancelling him?  Was his career ever in “jeopardy” this week?  What “woke mob” was Green Bay or the NFL ever going to give into?

The answer is none but he hit enough important meaningless words by uttering them that he has the mouth breather crowd to back him now.  Surprised he didn’t mention confederate statues or CRT.

Makes one pine for Bart Starr as the greatest QB in team history

Implying that Cuomo or Harris are "left" is peak hilarity.

Democrats were always more pro-vaccine than Republicans.  That never changed.  In fact, it increased for both throughout 2020.

Record scratch, narrator voice: He's actually totally wrong here.

You're making up stories again. People on the left were anti-vaccine ONLY to the extent that trump would try to skirt FDA rules.

In other words - TRUST THE PROCESS. Don't trust the 25,000 lies man.
