Aaron Rodgers is Back for 2026

[KentuckySteeler]

Rudolph is gone, thankfully. MM loves Will and doesn't give a flip about Reindeer boy.

That's nice. How kind of you.

You're welcome.

Look, I've never had a problem with you, and I don't know why you're intent on starting one now.

Don't be thin-skinned. You said something dumb, I pointed out the dumbness.

You're welcome, again.

All I said was that if Rodgers gets hurt, I won't cry in my beer about it. This is not "completely off the rails," it's a simple truthful statement that has evidently gotten your panties in a huge bunch. I'm not going to apologize for somehow offending your frail sensitivity, so **** off. If he does get injured, feel free to cry in your beer. Or more likely, in your white zinfandel.

Says my panties are bunched, then goes off on a squealing session that would make an HOA Karen plug her ears.

No, the dumbest comment about the Steelers' quarterback situation is that they should have immediately cut Will Howard after signing Rodgers.

Okay, you made the second dumbest comment about the Steelers' QB situation.

Feel better?

Don't put words in my mouth. I believe that McCarthy likes both of his young quarterbacks. But clearly one is ahead of the other at this point. And, here's a little secret -- QB2 gets a lot more of an opportunity to develop than QB4 does.

Steelers are not going to keep Rudolph; McCarthy spent an early 3rd round pick on Allar and obviously expects to see him develop and in fact obviously thinks he has a chance to be the starting QB in the future, explaining why McCarthy freaking drafted him in the 3rd round; the QB depth chart on May 22 is not really that important but okay, Howard is ahead of Allar which makes sense since Howard has been here for a freaking year and Allar has not; finally, developing Allar means putting him lower on the depth chart and working with him, not putting him in real games.

Good heavens, I had presumed all of the foregoing was self-evident.

Also pecking order really isn’t a future indicator. As it is only a present here and now indicator. Many things can change between present time and next years training camp.

Those two could very well be competing next year for the start. Orrr they look at them both closely and come away with neither looks like the long term option.

Absolutely. Reasonable to conclude that McCarthy prefers Allar over Howard long-term since he already had Howard on the roster and spent a pretty high pick on Allar. But since neither is a 1st round player, they are not going to be handed opportunities.

It’s all fun and games until Mason looks like the obvious best QB of the backups under the QB guru McCarthy

It’s not like he’s been the beneficiary of solid coaching ever, until now, in his pro career
