Steelers place the right of first refusal tender on AA Ron.

C'mon dude. It's allright to have a hero. The problem is when you defend said hero no matter what he does. Screw ups on field, and immoral behavior off field.

Rodgers is a dik. I have admitted as much because it's a fact. You would never say that about Ben even though it's just as true.

Never.

I’ve met Aaron twice. A bit aloof, a bit goofy, good sense of humor and was very nice imho.

The type of guy that should be enjoying retirement cracking wise with the other geezers, certainly not the type of guy that should be risking his future to walk upright in his retirement.

You’ve done enough and proved everything Aaron, just ride off into the sunset and enjoy your retirement…you’ve earned it.

Uhhh I called him an immature jerk early in his career often. I said he was washed up and it was time for him to retire several times. Where are the charges for the immoral behavior? Do you go after Bettis for off the field immoral behavior?

I give Bettis his due and Ben, but I'm not defending them like I'm in a cult.

Rodgers is a dik and a conspiracy nut, no doubt about it. He has not shown the moral failings Ben has though.

I only care about what the player can do for us. If we take a microscope to everyone we won't have a lot of players left.

Ben didn’t sit long to come in and play well.

Why all the diss to try and knock that statement down.?

There is no doubt Ben was an amazing athlete. I dont think any honest person would deny that. He is the best QB this team has ever had. I'm addressing Coryea and his constant bashing of Rodgers that he does while overlooking Ben's similar at times behavior.

Oooopppps

Sorry, i miss interpreted your post. Now that I read it again and in a more favorable atmosphere (i was in a huge hurry when I read and posted earlier), I can see you meant good.

I know when I’m talking about BEN, I know he was one of the best ever in the QB business all time NFL.

I enjoy your post(s) SteelerInLebanon, keep E’m coming.

I personally think they create drama and interest in the offseason on purpose. I'm good with whatever they do. I can't do a damn thing about it anyway..lol.


I'm more interested in what the new much larger coaching staff can accomplish in player development and elevation to a higher level.

Definitely interested to see what the new coaching staff can do.

Rodgers coming back seems to absolutely waste a year of their time in development of the guys on roster and the main positives of the MM hire imho are his ability to develop QBs and the fact that he isn’t scared of hiring competent subordinates.

Bringing Rodgers back seems like just another square peg thrown into the engine by Mediocre Art

Maybe Mediocre Art should go by his Indian name
“Paints by number”

His creations thus far have been underwhelming and predictable just like his last HC

I'm convinced Rodgers is starter come opening day, and I don't agree with Coryea's assessment of Rodgers' play. Yeah he folded at times from the pass rush(especially in the Texans playoff game) but who wouldn't with the o-line we had?

I choose to remain positive if he returns. And I'm convinced that if he returns it provides a "soft landing" if you will for McCarthy's new regime. It gives him a proven commodity who he has experience with instead of starting out with 2 rookie unknowns at QB, and one known that is nothing more than a backup in Mason.

2025
Completion percentage 65.7%
3,322 yards,
24 touchdowns
7 picks

I'd say that's pretty darn good for a bad O-line, Arthur Smith who some complained about as being too conservative, one receiver in DK Metcalf at times, etc.

Rodger's demise is greatly exaggerated. Having said that he will fall off at some point..let's hope that if he does sign it's not this year.

I think Aaron is a capable QB. What I do question is his accuracy on deep balls. He might have lost a little bit of that velocity in regards to that. He also seems to play scared often not letting the play develop . I get he has a quick release but he plays at times like he is afraid of getting hurt.

Sometimes when players contemplate retirement they should do just that.

Not sure how deep of a run the team can go on factoring this in.

He of course has some things to like but I can’t leave out this factoring in the overall evaluation.

What still has is an arm and decades of high level performance in running an offense. If they can pass block above the line,he can do a lot of damage. He's generally not going to make stupid mistakes while under duress.

I'm cool with whatever transpires and will always root for the teams success whomever is behind center.

I'll bet that when all is said and done you are pretty close. I am of the mind they could get farther this year than last, but only if the o-line shows major improvement.

Then there is the new offense being installed and how quickly the skill players not named Rodgers get up to speed on it. All a guessing game at this point.

One of the weirdest lines of reasoning I've ever seen. If Steelers don't want Rodgers back there is a much simpler and more certain mechanism - don't offer him a contract/withdraw the offer.
 
Why does Spotrac say "Aaron Rodgers signed a 1 year, $15,015,000 contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers, including an average annual salary of $15,015,000. In 2026, Rodgers will earn a base salary of $15,015,000, while carrying a cap hit of $15,015,000."?

That would seem to be a fairly serious flub if not true. Are we allowed to use 'flub' here?

Seriously. If was actually the case, it is probably the worst approach they could take.

As long as Rodgers is +5 or more in Turnovers he might, just might, be able to slip by a playoff team…anything less than that and he’s losing. And if the opponent has a pass rush he’ll jettison the rock in the bat of an eye to brace for contact like the fragile old man he is.

Dude did jack squat against any decent team and is older yet this year. The ultimate **** blocker to team building is Art Rooney in his desperation search for more mediocrity with has been QBs.

But sure another year of azz is really needed for some to realize he’s washed 🤦🏻‍♂️

If he’s the day 1 starter the Steelers are just an irrelevant team, a freaking punch line yet again.

Out of 33 qualifying quarterbacks last year, Rodgers' 65.7 completion percentage ranked him #16. He also inauspiciously led the league with 76% of his passes going less than 10 yards in the air. Think about that for a moment. Three-quarters of his attempts were closer than 30 feet away, yet he only completed less than two-thirds of all the balls he threw. 30 feet is about the length of my living room. My 12- or 13-year-old flag football QBs completed probably 80-85% of their passes from that distance.

You actually believe that 65.7% was a "pretty darn good" number for Rodgers last season? lol

Someone on 93.7 had said he would sign this weekend. Either Spotrac has early inside info or they are just guessing.

Who is he throwing to? And it doesn't matter if you throw it 5 feet...if you are reading the defense and you know the guy on the wheel route or a short out has real estate in front if him that's where a smart QB goes with the ball.

Now take your 10 yards or less and break it down into 3,322 yards...seems like a lot of YAC...almost as if the guy throwing it knows where it needs to go.
