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.

      Austin Corbett's move to center has seemed "inevitable"

      Very good points.  I also think you reach an age where your enthusiasm wanes, you quit learning and start relying on experience, and you lose touch with the younger generations of players--it happens.  And you are right about Bryce.  He is frustrated and he took a ton of heat--I can't imagine where he was mentally, but I have some idea.   Bryce is very smart-he needs to beat teams with his mind more than his arm.  He could not play chess when everyone around him was a confused pawn.  This season, he will use more motion to tip coverages and he will use more pre-snap reads.  Than means he should not be breaking the huddle with 12 seconds on the play clock and rushing to get the play off--there are so many things that can impact a QB's play, and there are many signs that he was provided the least possible chance to succeed.  In my view, this is his rookie season.  Last year was a fire drill.

      I also find it curious we decided to practice at home instead of up in NY… not sure I would have made that decision. Need a feel for the ice and boards. Maybe we’ll do a very limited morning skate tomorrow.

      Bryce Young vs Caleb Williams

      It really was crazy. The NFL hype on him was nuts. And I think for our FO, we basically outsmarted ourselves. Some of that has to do with Tepper going against the grain and wanting show how much of a genius he is. Stroud should have been the guy. I thought it might end up being an NFL horror story of sending an undersized kid to get crushed as first overall. I'll give him this though he is tough as nails.  This season will give us a better measure of where he's at, I think. I was hoping he'd come back a little bigger muscle wise though.
