Aaron Rodgers positive for COVID (update: “furious” status leaked, claims he didn’t lie, attacks NFL protocols)

[Pape]

Huh... all those parents telling kids not to eat dirt were wrong... whodathunkit

 

[PP2]

LOL, I already changed mine

I'm assuming we'll see quite a shift in that game heading into tonight...which stinks because while I hate Rodgers, obviously the worse the Chiefs do, the better it is for us.

All this time I thought my picks were locked once I made them.

At some point, maybe someone will note that Aaron Rodgers rarely throws downfield (last game, one completion over 10 yards), the Packers are built around a dominant line and running game, and their receivers usually lead the league in YAC and separation yards. It will be hilarious if Love puts up a 40 burger on that Chiefs “defense.” I think an 8 point spread is an overreaction, though I think KC will win a high scoring game.

Also, let's be honest. A loss to the Packers with Love playing, would pretty much destroy ChiefsPlanet which is on fire as we speak.

Both Wynn and Onwenu were put on the Covid reserve list at the same time. A reporter implied Wynn was unvaxxed while Onwenu was vaxxed.



Most likely what happened is this:

• Onwenu tested positive
• Wynn, unvaxxed, was designated as a close contact
• The other o-linemen were vaxed and did not test positive
• This is not because Wynn was the only lineman in proximity; it’s because he was the only unvaxxed player in proximity.

This is why positional groups with unvaxxed players can all go down at once. If they’re unvaxxed and someone tests positive, then they’re likely to be put on Covid list.

Sorry; I got those two backwards when I typed. Thanks for catching that.

No, picks can be changed all the way up until just before the scheduled start time. After that, then they lock.

Blake Bortles on the way to Green Bay - ProFootballTalk (nbcsports.com)

It's crazy to think that he almost took the Jaguars to the Super Bowl once.

Unvaccinated? After saying he "was immunized".....oh boy...the media is gonna have a field day with this. I have more respect for Kirk Cousins and Cole Beasley right now.

 

[rochrist]

So AR didn't lie. He is immunized from bordatella, distemper and heartworm.

I see what you did there! Woof!!

 

[Froob]

My understanding is that it literally requires an arrest/indictment on a felony.

Indict him then

Right. AR could have said, "it's a private matter about my health decision", and that would be that.

While he would have been perceived as a dodge that is better than a liar.

 

[zydecochris]

Exactly. I'm not keeping my head in the sand. I'm simply asking for this to remain about Rodgers and the protocols and not argue about this topic.

This is the football forum and this is a football-related thread. So I have zero desire to get into it and argue about something that won't change the fact Rodgers won't be suiting up this weekend and will instead just cause ire between people, which goes against the fact that we're all here (hopefully) focused on the Patriots and the rest of the season.

Thank you. Plus, it isn't like this subject hasn't been debated on the Forum ad infinitum. As a matter of fact, I did some extensive "research" (in the same way that many posters do "research", enough said) on this subject and according to my extensive research I can divulge the following statistics:

• Number of argumentative COVID related posts on Patsfans.com: 24,378,789 (now 24,378,790 with this post)
• Number of minds changed based on these COVID posts: zero

I think it is time to stick to football related threads.

Now I'm reading rumors that he was in Canada with his fiancee and might have gotten vaccinated with the AstraZeneca one there. That one is not FDA approved but it is approved and used in Canada and the UK.

That one is also not listed in the NFL protocols so it is still definitely a violation of NFL rules...

I thought the Canadian borders were closed, and even if open, they weren't letting in an unvaccinated American....

 

[Patsfanin Philly]

Also, let's be honest. A loss to the Packers with Love playing, would pretty much destroy ChiefsPlanet which is on fire as we speak.

And Cinn thought they were getting a break with Zack Wilson out and Mike White replacing him.... MAybe Love will Wally Pipp Rodgers...

 

[Pats2000]

You realize you can still get the disease if you are vaccinated, right?

Yeah, vaccines become fairly ineffective at stopping spread and symptomatic expression of the virus within 4 to 9 months depending on which one you get. But they generally stop your from dying if your fat and have multiple comorbidities. So those people should def get vaccinated.

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

Here’s why this could be a big problem should there be any shred of a fair inestigation.

Which other unvaccinated players in the NFL have tested positive for Covid this season? The number is likely very small, if any. Why? Because due to the protocols put in place, an unvaccinated player would almost always be placed on Covid Reserve should he come within proximity with anyone else who tested positive.

The Packers practice squad QB, Kurt Benkert, tested positive on Monday. LaFleur is claiming Binkert wasn’t in the building on Monday so couldn’t have passed it to Rodgers. But that sure does seem coincidental. And what about the Halloween party or other team activities? If Benkert did pass it to Rodgers, or was around the same people, then how could you possibly miss that Rodgers was in proximity? Only one way: if you’re treating him as a vaxxed player (subject to positive test) and not as an unvaxxed player (subject to contact tracing.)
