Zach n Boyle don't scare anyone and Lazard would have way more targets n numbers.

[@colindavis193]

@@arkhamknight6371 Even if everything you just said is true, it doesn’t mean that Lazard should be on the team. Aaron is a great qb. I don’t think anyone can deny that. And what great qbs do is make everyone around them better. But why start with very mediocre players and add Rodgers to the mix to make them functional when you can do what quality organizations do and start with the best players they can get and add someone like Aaron Rodgers (if your lucky enough to get him) and make all those players great. The argument that Lazard would be better with Arod is moot. It doesn’t matter if he’d make Lazard better. He’d make everybody better. The Lazard contract is atrocious. He’s a drain on your team. He should be in the league. For less than half the money. But it’s easy to blackball the employer when the shadow GM is ya boy.

Don’t understand the point of risking injury and him coming back this year when they’re already basically eliminated

[@ryant3600]

It has absolutely NOTHING to do with that. Aaron comes from the old school mentality that if you get bucked off a horse, you get right back on as soon as possible cause the longer you wait, the more fear gets in your head and you'll never get back on. Aaron is needing to do this for his own mental health. Waiting a whole year to get back in the game messes with people's heads. He needs to get back in there as soon as possible and find comfort in the playing again. That's all this is about. I've seen a lot of athletes play the game their entire life, up to the point of a big injury taking a lot of time off, then when they finally do come back they can't get their head right. And they fizzle out.
