>> Ben, yesterday we had Dr. Chow in pro football today talking about Aaron Rodgers.
00:08
For the people that might have missed out, Aaron Rodgers talking about a possible comeback if the
00:12
Jets make the playoffs. Aaron Rodgers also being a 40-year-old quarterback. Dr. Chow, talk about
00:18
some of the things that he's going to go through and also is it probable that if the Jets do make
00:21
the playoffs he can make a comeback? >> Well, you know, I said the day after
00:26
the injury, after that there was a snowballs chance that he could return. And let's clarify that.
00:31
That snowball's chance is not because of the innovative surgery. That innovative surgery
00:37
has a sexy name using the speed bridge, the whole deal. It's over a decade old. It's not
00:43
revolutionary. Now, do I think it's possible, i.e. lottery or snowball's chance? Yes. Why?
00:50
Yes, he's 40 and you can't compare him to 23-year-old Cam Akers. But Cam Akers was a
00:55
running back that returned at six months. Aaron Rodgers is a quarterback. Look, midseason,
01:01
assuming the Jets are still in it, you're going to see Aaron Rodgers on the sideline
01:05
moving around pretty well in a boot and that's going to rekindle things.
01:08
But the reality is this, even if medically he can make it some and not be 100%, and it does help
01:14
that it's his front leg, not his plant leg. If the Jets make the playoffs, big if, if Zach Wilson
01:22
can lead them there, big if. Do you then yank Zach Wilson for Aaron Rodgers, who's not 100%?
01:27
This is what we talked about on this show last year. If Jimmy Garoppolo can make it for the
01:34
Super Bowl, but Brock Purdy got the 49ers there, would you really pull Brock Purdy at that point
01:40
in time? So that's why I say it's a snowball's chance.
