Aaron Rodgers’ season-ending injury is eerily similar to these other quarterbacks for contenders who were lost early in their respective season.
There are examples of teams overcoming an early season injury to a starting quarterback and having great success. The 1999 Rams, coming off a 4-12 season, lost starter Trent Green in the preseason only to go on a shocking Super Bowl run under unknown Kurt Warner, who became a two-time NFL MVP.team coming off a 5-11 season started 0-2 and then lost star QB Drew Bledsoe to an injury in a loss to the Jets.
A healthy McMahon then led the Eagles to six straight wins but it wasn't enough as they finished 10-6 and missed the playoffs.had gone to the AFC title game in 1992 and were off to a 4-1 start the following season when Dan Marino went down with a season-ending Achilles injury. The good feeling lasted less than a half as Testaverde tore his Achilles in the season-opener against New England. Rick Mirer took over and lost four of his first five starts before New York turned the team over to former undrafted free agent Ray Lucas.
Atlanta looked to build on that success the following season only to lose Vick to a broken leg in a preseason game. The Falcons started 2-10 behind Doug Johnson and Kurt Kittner before Vick returned. Brady tore his ACL on a hit in the first quarter by Bernard Pollard that led to a rule change prohibiting low hits on QBs. But that came too late to help New England.
