[QUOTE="doughsellz, post: 246257, member: 1158"] It's just my personal speculation & this may have been proposed before but I can visualize why #4 was has called it quits recently & it has roots in the reason why GB parted ways with him last year. The surgery was necessary, in the minds of the Packers organization, last year. #4 was unwilling to do it since it would permanently affect his throwing motion, either physically or psychologically. For whatever reasons neither #4 nor the team wanted that aspect made public. Once #4 refused the advice of team doctors he was on the outs with management. Faced with an ultimatum, surgery or retirement, #4 decides: "I know I can play but I don't think I want to", translation: I'm not having the surgery the team insists I need to continue playing. Maybe #4 knew the loss of arm strength possible after this surgical procedure would put him at a disadvantage compared to the young, stable arm of Aaron Rodgers & he couldn't face the situation of losing the job to him. So this summer the procedure occurs & now #4 says he can't perform at the level necessary to be a success in the NFL. I know it's a stretch but it's plausible. [/QUOTE]
