Another thing about Rodgers, he played almost half the season with a bum shoulder as well. He played through pain. Its different when your a backup. They hold you out for precautionary reasons. Other than when he broke his foot, I bet you he would have started. "Aaron Rodgers being made of glass" comments are a little overdone.

The pack will, and should, have very little problem running the ball. Last year they go to be an ok running team, but started out very poorly becuase Grant held out of training camp, and then injuried himself overwokring to get back into shape. Packers also don't have great depth behind Grant, althought thats looking much better this year.
The biggest quesion for the Packers is not the O line or the offence. they ahve a top 5-8 offence in the league IMO. Its all on their defence. How quickly can their players adapt to the 3-4 and execute it, and thats what going to decide the Packers season. But becuase I have alot of faith in Dom Capers and the staff he put together, i think the packers are a definet contender in the NFC North.
