Peyton Manning regressed in 2010. Then missed all of 2011 with a far more concerning neck injury + surgery than Rodgers just had. Then threw for 15000 yards and 130 TDs (in 16 games/season not 17, mind you) over the next 3 years, including a still-standing NFL record 55 TDs in 2013. At age 36, 37 and 38 I believe? He was definitely great on a stacked team in 2013, at age 37. Or, put differently, 4 years ago for Rodgers (who, as it turns out, was ALSO pretty great at age 37). Do you know where Manning was at age 40/41? Retired after being utter trash in his final season, and not his usual greatness the year before.

Cliff notes version (which is still a couple paragraphs for me, lol): Suffice to say these aren’t all the same scenarios by a long shot, just by looking at one factor alone - age - and ignoring all other factors. You’re comparing players with different personal and family lives, with different career and recent accomplishments, with different injury severities (most recent and/or cumulative), who didn’t have the appetite to again rehab after surgery to Rodger’s whose rehab is done and who has neither a wife nor children. Unless his processing speed has diminished, he can either still throw well enough or he can’t. I’ve no idea if he’ll be great or suck or last the season or last less than 5 plays again. But whatever happens it will have zero to do with the likes of Peyton Manning with his multiple neck injuries and surgeries and multiple pinched nerves and surgeries in his throwing shoulder on top of his own most recent foot/heel tear, and and a 5 year old kid and just winning another SB ring before he decided to hang it up instead of rehabbing.

We'll have played 12 games before Rodgers turns 41. That's enough to have locked up a playoff berth and be shooting for the division in the remaining weeks.

I used Manning and Warner because they both satisfied his criteria of it’s never happened before and science says it can’t/won’t: Veteran QBs who had visibly and/or statistically started to regress, then missed a season or similarly significant time to injury, then came back just as good after that. They were both so recent it’s not like I had to go back and cite someone from Otto Graham’s era either. Age is of course a factor. It isn’t the only factor, though, nor even the only significant factor alongside beginning a long rehab and being away from family again, when they already have a fortune saved up, post-playing jobs/income lined up, and know they don’t have 5-10 years left in them smart like a 28 year old rehabbing the same injuries. FFS if they were motivated enough to do so, Brees and Brady could both still be starting this season. This isn’t the era of 1970s sports medicine, and Rodgers has neither the injuries that prevent him from throwing well enough, nor a tight family he wants to spend so his time with, more than training for and playing through another season after a couple decades. A week here or there in the sun and another in the total absence of sun/light (lol) and he’s good to go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangerous Posted Monday at 01:25 PM Share Posted Monday at 01:25 PM So there are some who think Rodgers won’t put the numbers? Just consider that the 2015 offense with fitzy was pretty darn good. Fitzy had a career year and all it took was fielding a team that was largely injury free. And this 2024, imo, has more talent. It certainly isn’t silly to expect good things for once. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: I see you almost completely rewrote your post. Not going to re-write my own or reply again. This is a opinion topic, and you're free to have any opinion, for any reason, you wish. Yeah the problem is it creates a question with almost no answer by weeding out everyone along the way, and when citing the couple exceptions they're still unconvincing because the number of them is so sparse. Elite ability & big-name status -- even aside from the rest of the list, there are only so many elite QBs in the first place. From there, a GM has to decide to stick with the older man or begin the youth movement. A GM can sell the fanbase & ownership on the excitement of putting the upcoming season in the hands of 40+ Brady, Brees, Rodgers all-time great types; but not so on 40+ Carr, Flacco, Fitzpatrick, etc. even if they're still capable of showing up with a big game now & then. No one cares if Derek Carr can technically still throw the rock well at 40; they're drafting someone else before it gets to that point because he's an emo beta mushbrain. Healthy enough -- that's not just in terms of a most recent injury (which has often occurs well into or later in the season when guys retire, like with Warner whom I'd mentioned); but also cumulative injuries taking their tolls on guys who've taken such bad beatings & had so many conditions for so many years (Peyton Manning, Roethlisberger, etc.) that it's just robbed them of their once elite ability. Team situation -- namely, on a team that's worth it to keep playing. If Brady was locked into a contract with a team that had some combination of a bad/unsuccessful coach, poor receiving talent, poor protection, and a crappy defense, then he probably hangs it up a few years earlier himself even though his FA status with NE did allow him to go elsewhere, with high success as we all saw in Tampa. He'd have also been the statistic of QBs who didn't play into their 40s had he hung 'em up, and it'd have been convenient to suggest his age meant he couldn't do it anymore. Family situations. Late 30s for a lot of guys is when - with the money they've saved up - they decide they've just had enough and one more season or two isn't worth missing out on more of their kids' lives, or the strains it puts on their marriages that have had to deal with daddy/hubby away for 6 mos/year for 15+ years, or having to move the family yet again (including new schools for the kids yet again) to get onto a contender's roster. Rodgers is immune to all that, where most others aren't. Desire. It's a long offseason, and all that training & preseason & in-season prep is a lot harder at 40 than it was at 32, and is harder at 32 than it was at 24. With all the money already made by QB who've still got it well into their 30s (or even early 40s), it's just too exhausting for most, as they've surely been thinking about how much longer before they retire for a few years already, and just not worth it anymore. Especially some can't or don't feel like adjusting & changing their game when they can't do all the things they used to be able to do physically. NFL era. There may have been many more in the past who could've done so but so much has changed that there's just a shorter history to look at. That includes sports medicine, protections on QBs that didn't exist years ago, and the sheer amounts of money players (QBs especially) didn't make until fairly recently, especially the 80s and earlier when the league didn't make as much and there was no such thing as free agency. Montana in his prime made $1MM/year & the league turned guys into cripples far younger than we are today. Now they're talking $60MM/year for Dak Prescott, which creates a very different calculus in terms of risk vs. reward to keep playing with well over $100MM banked. Each one of these conditions weeds out more players. Satisfying the above conditions will apply to very few people, so it suggests age 40 is more correlated with satisfying fewer of the above conditions needed than being the pure driver of an inability to continue. There is so much more going on than a simplistic 39 vs 40 years old that spitting that out as a winning trump card just seems silly to me, if not lazy. I was 39 once, then 40 once after that. The main difference between the two is in your head because our society uses base-10 math so it's then the next big round number; not because of a magical metabolic changes that sports science/medicine has shown only begins at age 40. Brees was the same age Rodgers is now (40, turning 41 in Dec/Jan) when he posted a 106 QB rating in his final season despite Michael Thomas missing most of that season himself, leaving him just a RB and a 33 year old slot receiver (nearing retirement himself) to throw to with any confidence. Ditto Favre, who arguably had his best season at age 40-41. Brady even more famously played even further into his 40s. You can say those guys are exceptions, and while that's absolutely true it's also true Rodgers's career has been in that class of rare exceptions: the elite among the elite QBs in league history. These guys aren't merely Matt Hasselbeck or Kerry Collins plus 5%. Will Rodgers have anywhere near similar success as other 40+ QBs? Who knows; he may miss the whole season again for all I know. There could be so many injuries around him that no one else was going to succeed in this role either. If he doesn't succeed won't be because simply because he's 40 instead of 39 when the season starts. JFC I can ramble on & on. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know what he is now. It's been two full seasons past since he produced at a top-10 level. We will see if he is or isn't come camp and preseason and week 1. And we'll live with it, we don't have any say it in, lol Our 2024 hopes revolve around hope that he is the same as 37 year old Rodgers was. Not the same as last year or the year before's Rodgers. This just reinforces my earlier post. That's the way it's always been until it isn't anymore. Where do you draw the line? Cancer of any kind used to be a death sentence. At some point that changed (thank God.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do you draw the line? Cancer of any kind used to be a death sentence. At some point that changed (thank God.) It's not a "line" in my mind. It's simply one fact, one data point, amid a sea of other facts and data points, that fans can use to evaluate when looking forward to the 2024 season. I think it's also important to remind ourselves that these opinion carry absolutely no weight. What will happen will happen, regardless of what fans on JN think or say. Ultimately, Rodgers will be good or not because of Rodgers primarily, Saleh and the team around them. Personally, I fully expect a major, meaningful increase in QB production in 2024 vs. the Wilson, Darnold, Geno or Sanchez Eras, as long as Rodgers remains healthy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all due respect that's a lot of verbiage over several posts to essentially say, "who knows, we'll see..." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a problem? Also, I think "I fully expect a major, meaningful increase in QB production in 2024 vs. the Wilson, Darnold, Geno or Sanchez Eras, as long as Rodgers remains healthy" is a bit different than "who knows, we'll see...", but maybe that's just me.
