I must admit, that was my first thought.

However, Adam Shefter disagrees. He said that Rodgers decision to play or not will have nothing to do with the game itself and everything to do with his future health. Different world in the NFL now he reckons. You can listen to it on the ESPN Football Today podcast (Thursday).

Yeah I agree.

He has to pass the external conditioning test. If he doesn't (eg there are long term health effects) then he wont play- something I totally agree with. If he has any long term effects then i'd shut him down for the year. Don't risk it for 1 season when A) his health is paramount B) we need him for the next 10+ years.

My comments were intended to be conditional on him being medically cleared. IF he is medically cleared (no short or long term effects) then I think he will definately play given the gravity of the game irrelevant of how much practice he has, which is likely to be zero.

Flynn is getting all the reps but Rodgers was present a 3/4 of practice today (although he has been to no meetings) and apparently he's also getting a new helmet for better protection.

I was thinking the same, maybe even the Cardinals although they will have a high draft pick for a QB

Yeah, can see them picking top 5 with a shot at Luck.

I think Luck will be the top QB, followed by Locker and possibly Newton.

I actually really like Ryan Mallet of Arkansas though, he's really well suited to the NFL, much like Sam Bradford this year.

The Knicks- Heat game tonight is a highlight reel itself.

Rumours the Panthers want to draft a quarterback. What happened to the best QB on the draft?

The Rams should have drafted Clausen and he would be better than Bradford
