Achilles injury and age fuel debate over Aaron Rodgers' future as he falls from Tier 1 for the first time in 11 years.
Aaron Rodgers has long been a fixture in Tier 1 of NFL quarterbacks, consistently recognized as one of the league's elite. However, after suffering a season-ending Achilles injury in Week 1 last year, the unquestioned future Hall of Famer has dropped into Tier 2 for the first time in 11 years.
However, not everyone agrees with this pessimistic outlook. Rodgers still commanded 23 Tier 1 votes, behind only Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, and Josh Allen. One offensive coach who placed Rodgers in Tier 1 dismissed the concerns, saying, "Maybe he falls off. I just know the last time I saw him play, he can carry it. I’m going off that."
The Achilles injury and Rodgers’ age has undeniably created uncertainty. A voter whose team practiced against the Jets last summer went so far as to call Rodgers "fragile," predicting he might not last five games this season.
