How Will Packers Survive Without Aaron Rodgers

How Will Packers Survive Without Aaron Rodgers

In a shocking development, Green Bay Packers will be without the likes of their star quarterback, Aaron Rodgers as he has tested positive for the Covid 19 virus. To make matters worse, another startling fact has come to the fore that states that Rodgers was not vaccinated and he has previously said that he has been immunized.

ESPN reported that Aaron Rodgers earlier said, “There are guys on the team that hasn’t been vaccinated. I think it’s a personal decision. I’m not going to judge those guys. There are guys that have been vaccinated that have contracted COVID. It’s an interesting issue that I think we’re going to see played out the entire season.”

Now with Rodgers out and an important match-up with the Chiefs coming up in the following week, it will be interesting to see how they would rally from this denting blow. NFL Network Insider quoted that Jordan Love will be the one to take his place on Sunday.

Rodgers is known for his eagle-eyed vision that helps him throw those bullets with clinical precision. However, there is a fine magnitude of difference between Rodgers and Jordan Love. He has so far racked up just one game where he bagged 68 passing yards.

They are still not sure of the availability of Davante Adams and Lazard that will make the task a lot more difficult than usual. Even though they will be without their star quarterback, the solitary shard of hope for the Packers will be that Rodgers’ counterpart, Patrick Mahomes is not fully fit and has failed to conjure something magical, going by his preceding high standards.

The quarterback also said, “I think I like to learn about everything that I’m doing, and there was a lot of research that even went into that. But like I said, there’s been people that have tested positive, and I think it’s only vaccinated people here. It’s going to be interesting to see how things work moving forward.”

This will be a major test for the Packers who surged to 7-1 after a remarkable victory against the mighty Cardinals, thanks to a pompous showdown from the 37-year-old signal-caller. This contest will be a lot more even this time and the Packers will have to make a few pivotal calls as they will have to face a volley of questions, especially regarding the vaccination status of Aaron Rodgers.
