00:04 >> 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.
