LOL...Relax a bit and Francis lighten up. WE GOT OUR VET, (multi) League MVP, SB WINNING QB now. Tomlinship here we come!!!!!!! It truly is a glorious day to be a Steeler fan.

2019 they couldn’t risk a losing season so traded a 1st rounder for Minkah, passing on Hurts in 2020 for an “impact player”, 2021 Ben stayed a year too long, now two straight years of over the hill QBs, for what? To avoid losing seasons? Do they REALLY think they can compete for a championship in a loaded AFC by sneaking in with a flawed team?

If the playoffs were not expanded to 7 teams, the Steelers would have 2 playoff appearances in the past 7 seasons.

They’ve been furiously adding crutches, wheelchairs, and walkers to avoid surgery to repair a broken leg. Just bite the bullet and start the rebuild.

2020 a 3 seed, 2021 a 3 seed, 2024 a 6 seed. More than 2.

You know what, I may have ****** that up. Dulac is saying the contract is under 20 mil, whatever the hell that even means.
I guess we’ll find out for sure in the next week.

An article on the home page is saying it could be a base of around $10 mill with some incentives.

Here are a few of the incentives I read that "might" be in his contract. Speculation of course but they ring true by the looks of them.

Incentive #1....throw across the middle of the field. $1000 per completion.
Incentive #2....audile to pass with 10 defenders in the box on any running play. $2000 per play.
Incentive #3.....win a playoff game. $100,000 per game. SB victory $1,000,000
Incentive #4...... get a Tomlinship. $20,000,000

Bottom line
Aaron at 75% is better than the Pickett/ Wilson/ Fields show.
Could it blow up, of course, but how much worse can you get at this stage?

All depends on our offense scheme and philosphy. Pickett/Tribiskey/Wilson/Fields were all shackled. Actually the entire offense was shackled. If Rodgers gets the same shackles as they did it will be a complete failure. We will find out soon enough how smart Tomlin actually thinks he is.

Then on the defensive side, we have the same old issues also.

Hopefully, Tomlin takes a long hard look in the mirror. I have been praying daily that he reads the threads on this site so he actually sees where his faults are since he clearly is having a hard seeing them himself. Get it done Coach T!!!!!!

I figured more like 77 to 79% better, somewhere in there.

The only negative is if you wanted the Steelers to struggle this season for draft position since Rodgers, even at 41, is likely still a substantially better option than Rudolph or Howard.

To be blunt, the Steelers havent scouted top end talent well since the 70's their few top ten picks were mostly abysmal... their top fifteen were hit or miss a lot... im less interested in that these days... ever since Bush...

Though i guess of you got a great pick and traded back youd have way more chances to hit on a guy....
 
For the 1st time in his career, I al of a sudden care about Rodgers
