Colin Cowherd says if Aaron Rodgers gets hurt again, the Packers must move on

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers played all 16 games in 2018, but he is no stranger to being injured, as a broken collarbone limited him to just seven games in 2017, and back in 2013, he missed nine contests due to another broken collarbone.

Not only that, but Rodgers played through a sprained MCL this past season.

So, the fact that Rodgers is apparently dealing with a back issue right now has to be somewhat concerning for a Packers team with Super Bowl hopes, and Fox Sports talk-show host Colin Cowherd thinks that if Rodgers misses significant time yet again, Green Bay will need to move on and draft his replacement.

Of course, with Rodgers being 35 years old, it may be time for the Packers to begin thinking about his replacement regardless of whether or not he makes it through the 2019 campaign healthy.

Rodgers had what was arguably his worst season in quite some time this past year. Well, for his standards, anyway. He threw for 4,442 yards, 25 touchdowns, and just two interceptions, but he completed only 62.3 percent of his passes, his second-lowest mark since becoming a full-time starter all the way back in 2008.

While it could have been just an “off” year for Rodgers in what was a terrible season for Green Bay as a whole, it could also be an indication that he is beginning to decline.

Rodgers has made seven Pro Bowl appearances while earning a pair of First-Team All-Pro selections during his NFL tenure. He is also a two-time MVP award winner and a Super Bowl champion.

And really, only the Giants have drafted the likely replacement. Who would have thought that among those teams the Giants would be the proactive one. I guess the Saints have signed who they expect to replace Brees, though I'm a tad skeptical.

I think the Colts are in trouble too with Luck. To this point if Rodgers gets hurt again, the Packers record will be bad enough to where I believe they will be able to draft a QB. Top three this year are Tua Tagovailoa, Justin Herbert & Jake Fromm and quite frankly I like Fromm the most, but that is JMHO.

The prob with Rogers isn't his age tbh. It's his ego and general assholishness (yeah, not a word but it sounds good). I just don't think a front office allowing him to run the show is a good thing. Will they check him when he starts to undermine his new HC? Probably not but we'll see.

If I were the Packers GM I think I'd dangle him and move him for the first trade offer I really like. Use that draft value to go find a QB or two and rebuild things.

End of an era. And the great thing is we're positioned as one of the teams with an elite QB in this era. Gonna be fun and just getting started. (y)

So is Justin related to former Saints QB Bobby Herbert? (God, I hope so...lol)

Sorry, no. It was Bobby Hebert - a good cajun name, from LaFourche Parish, basically the heart of Cajun territory. He was insanely popular with the Saints' fan base because of that.

I just figured Bobby forgot to include the "r" because he WAS from LaFourche Parish, and also where they believed the Saints were robbed in the NFC Title game:sneaky:

No he's not and he does not pronounce it like the French version where the H and first r are silent...E-bear.
