They knew he was unvaccinated.   And apparently let him violate protocal.  League IMO needs to hammer the Packers. 

Yep.

NFL's protocols also specifically prohibit unvaccinated players from gathering with more than three other players outside of the facility,

Rodgers did attend the team's Halloween party last weekend and his John Wick costume did not include a face covering in the photos posted online.

Rogers posted the photos of the Halloween party.  He is so egotistical he thinks he is above and can flaunt the rules.

Rodgers’ attendance at a Halloween party hosted by tight end Marcedes Lewis last weekend also might be of interest to the league. Rodgers widely shared on social media photographs of his John Wick costume, and other photos and videos showed him partying with teammates while unmasked.

The NFL’s protocols state that unvaccinated players cannot gather with more than three teammates away from the team facility (unless while traveling with the team),

Rodgers, though, has not worn a mask during any of his weekly news conferences, which are held indoors in an auditorium-style room at Lambeau Field. He also has not worn a mask at any postgame news conferences,

IIRC, I think the 3rd string QB has also tested positive so far.

 

Rogers should have been run out of GB after his disparaging remarks about the city.

What a cowardly thing to do.  Rodgers tried to have it both way.  At least people like Cole Beasely wear it on their sleeves.  For someone so fond of calling out others despite being a super sensitive snowflake, this should be a much bigger deal.

The vaccine isn't as much the issue as the lying and the cover up.  Rodgers isn't above the rules both the NFL and NFLPA created.

He knew, the team knew, and the league knew. That’s why they started pointing fingers as soon as this surfaced. League said it was the responsibility of each team, Matt LaFleur referred the question of Rodgers vaccination status to Rodgers. He tried to make the case to the league that his homeopathic remedy should qualify him as being “vaccinated.”  He was told, in no uncertain terms, that it didn’t.

    • Right and I think we can have a conversation about that. But even with the scheme he should still be able to muster more than 1.5 sacks right? I mean DJ Johnson played in Evero's scheme too but that didn't stop us from calling him a bust. Scourton didn't seem to have trouble flashing. There can be different things true at one time.
    • I assume you are quoting my still. If so, I don't know what your argument is since mine was simply showing a play where Bryce scored a TD against the Rams in the playoffs where another poster used a similar still of Herbert's line to defend his poor performance last night. Like I said, Herbert is a better QB but Bryce wins the game last night for the Chargers. It simply is something he does better than Herbert and would play to his strengths. Someone even said earlier Chargers only win 1 or 2 games this year if Bryce was their QB which is so absurdly laughable it wasn't even worth trying to address. I mean this thread is literally called "Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panther's History" so I understand there is no objective arguments to be had here but I found that amusing. 
    • I think his knee would make a good reason to switch to guard IF he returns.  Half don't.  Half of those don't last too long.  The strain on a knee (320lb man) vs speed rushers is more substantial.  So I would keep him if I could on a small contract (he will make $17.5 in 2026 fully guaranteed) and think of him as a possible guard for the post Lewis/Hunt era.  Knee injuries in big men are not invitations to invest in them.
