Aaron Rodgers came back, hoping to lead the Green Bay Packers back to the playoffs — something they’ve done every year since 2009.

But Rodgers threw three interceptions Sunday in Carolina, and the Packers lost to the Panthers. They’re 7-7, and could be mathematically eliminated from playoff contention by the end of Monday night.

So, should they continue to play Rodgers this season? Or, should they turn it back to backup quarterback Brett Hundley? (Rob Demovsky explored that question at ESPN.com)

Many would say it’s a no-brainer to sit Rodgers on Saturday at home against the Minnesota Vikings and again in the regular-season finale at the Detroit Lions. Why put him at risk to re-injure his surgically repaired right clavicle — or sustain any other injury?

But what do you tell David Bakhtiari, your stud left tackle?

Or Davante Adams, if he’s cleared from the concussion that knocked him outof Sunday’s game?

Or Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb?

Or Clay Matthews, Mike Daniels, Nick Perry, Morgan Burnett, Damarious Randall and Ha Ha Clinton-Dix?

None of them has a right collarbone with 13 screws and two plates in it. Nor had any of them been on injured reserve for the previous eight weeks.

But Rodgers was medically cleared to play on Sunday against the Panthers and didn’t shy away from running or contact. In fact, he was more aggressive than he was when he returned from his broken left collarbone in 2013; on that day, he scrambled only once and went down to the turf before he could get hit on two of his three sacks. Against the Panthers, he scrambled six times for 43 yards and was sacked three times.
