I know I'm late to this thread, but how does Tanaka compare to Darvish? Really solid, but not quite as good? Do Major League teams expect Tanaka to be a #1 on a really good team?
Outside of a medical malpractice lawsuit (which admittedly is a big deal), why else would the team care if Rodgers reinjures himself and is out for 6 months? He doesn't need OTA's. Rebroken collarbones aren't career threatening and next year wouldn't even be in question.
If Rodgers plays, they can beat anyone, Seattle included So, put Rodgers in the RG3 scenario even if he's not medically cleared? No, wouldn't do that. I thought I heard the doctors cleared him. If they say no, I would never play a player.
