Is he joking because he is playing fortnite while recovering?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Let’s be honest tho, Jets aren’t making the playoffs.

Dos thus have thou a mug of ale for me and me mate, for he hath been pitched in battle for a few fortnights and has the king's thirst for the frosty brew dos thou might have for thus!

I don't know if I've ever actually seen someone use the term fortnight.

Homie is great at social media. If last year play is any indication he’s now well on his way to retirement especially after this injury.

6 weeks is still a long time for Zach Wilson to tread water though

Aaron rodgers really trying to speed run getting killed out there lol

lol not gonna happen.

We can analyze this. One fortnight is 2 weeks, and he didn’t use the term “a couple,” so we know it’s not in the next 4. “Few” could indicate anywhere between 3-5, above which we reach “several” territory. So I’d say, Rodgers back sometime within the next 6-10 weeks, placing us firmly at… playoff season, like the rumor has been all along. /s

Once he gets a victory royale hes coming back

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Let's say he does come back, Zach Wilson can actually move and got sacked six times last game. Rodgers would get feasted on

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Crazy coincidence: Kyler Murray's timeline is also several Fortnites.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

What a dick.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

It's clear how this plays out a few fortnight's from now:

Rodgers: Hey everybody I'm ready to play!

Doctors: No you're not cleared for contact. Maybe next week.

The following week the Jets are eliminated from playoff contention

Rodgers: Well I tried guys but they wouldn't let me. Now the team just wants to be safe and not risk anything for 1 have that doesn't mean anything to playoffs. See ya next year guys!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

At the time he said this Pat and the boys were decoding different units of counting I.e. "a couple is two, a few is three, etc" so I think the implication from "a few fortnights" was that Arod thinks he's 6 weeks away from a comeback.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (4 children)

I don't get it. Isn't the Jets O-Line still mega trash? Why would he want to rush back into this?

It would be stupid for him to not take the proper time rehabbing the injury, just to come back too soon and blow it out again. Why would the Jets organization want that? Not to mention that he will be gassed by the 2nd quarter. When you play fatigued you're even more susceptible to injury. I don't see any upside to this at all. Does anyone really think, even with Rodgers coming back, that the Jets are a Superbowl contender?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

There are only 2 options here. Either he and NYJ lied about the severity of his injury or he’s taking a massive amount of roids to recover.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Twas but a few twinkly-dee’s until Rodgers returns

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (4 children)

On the one hand I fully believe the NFL is turning a blind eye to him using HGH or something similar to accelerate his recovery because the story would sell (elite HOF QB playing in biggest market overcomes odds, the books/movies write themselves)

On the other, I also think Rodgers is an attention whore who would absolutely be acting this way even if a return was completely and utterly impossible.

Idk which one I believe more

If the jets are not in the hunt, is it even worth risking it (given he can actually come back)?

AFC east as of now, between bills and dolphins .. although both are super inconsistent but flashy.

Given Rodgers penchant for conspiracy theories I can't help but enjoy this creating the conspiracy theory that he didn't really injure his achilles (or it isn't as bad as reported) and he is sitting out just long enough to ensure Packers don't get a first round pick out of spite.

I don't believe the conspiracy theory to be true, but I do enjoy that there are people who do.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Just more clickbait. This was said in jest on the McAfee show to just give McAfee an answer when he kept asking rodgers when he would come back.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Reads one history book

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Interesting Rodgers is a couple fortnights away from returning, because Kyler is back but a CoD away from checking out.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Last night I saw some moron talking head say he guarantees Rodgers comes back to play at least 1-2 games this season. Maybe he will but to guarantee it based on... nothing? Why is sports commentary a race to the hottest, most absolute take?

Just say Rodgers thinks he'll be back, and you believe him. There now you convey the same thing without making a hot take based on nothing. I can't handle listening to these fake people I don't understand how anyone does. Give me real people talking about logical things plz

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

The media shitstorm that will take place if this guy comes back this season is going to be unbearable.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Does he specifically try to be as annoying as possible every time he talks

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

He's gonna make it back for the playoffs, and then we'll all be Tilted at the Towers

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

i want to like this guy, but then he makes it kinda hard?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Og map got everyone back dropping tilted towers

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think the bigger question is, even if the Jets are still in playoff contention in mid-December, would the team even want to clear him to return?

Like, if their in a spot where they need to win their last 3 games to make the playoffs, is the risk of putting him out there actually even worth it?

I've very much enjoyed Giant Douche's absence from football.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

So next year then.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

So 2-3 fortnights, 4-6 weeks. At that point, the Jets will be somewhere between 5-9 and 7-7

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

He wants to make sure it’s possible the jets can get that #1 Victory Royale

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Just in time to watch the play-offs.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I knew this guy was an attention seeker but this storyline is just ridiculous.

NUMBER 1 VICTORY ROYALE
