Will "Aaron Rodgers Surgery" be the new "Tommy John Surgery"?

[TuscanyTile2]

With the news that AR8 will likely be cleared to play next week, is that going to end up being his legacy?  Obviously, his HOF career should be his legacy but think about what you associate with Tommy John (who won 288 games and was a borderline HOF'er).

If Rodgers was a kicker absolutely.

You don't think there's a chance that, for decades into the future, we'll be hearing about "Aaron Rodgers Surgery"?  Because if so, that's all it would take for people to associate him with the surgery more than his own career.

Could be wrong but didn’t Cam Akers do this procedure first?

The Giants weren't the first team to dump Gatorade on their HC.

Tommy John? No. A A Ron.

Not sure about the surgery naming, but if he launches an underwear company.....

I’ve really been wondering about this.

Not every random thought needs a new thread.

The high six-figure surgery that Rodgers had performed on his Achilles by a highly-trained, world-famous specialist will continue to be called “speed bridge surgery,” but rubbing a topical ointment made up of echinacea, tea tree oil and cannabis wax on the area of the surgery will heretofore be known as “Aaron Rodgers Surgery.”

Why didnt AVT get the surgery too?

He was the first one I’m aware of, and he tore it again this year

Did he make an interception at practice today?

The fact that Rodgers s showing so much mobility after an Achilles is amazing.  I remember when Marino got his.  He came back but he was limping the whole season.  IMO the Achilles is worse than an ACL or MCL.  And there are players playing with serious knee problems like bone on bone and even ligament damage.  I don’t think a player can play with an Achilles tear.

Ah, I thought it was. Turns out this year was his left, the one earlier was his right

In 4 more days, it'll be the shortest day of the year.  Then it improves from there.

That's what I thought... So maybe it really is the next big surgery...

Lol wasn't meant to shoot it down. I'm sure thousands of these surgeries have been done since Akers
