    Pro Football Talk apparently reporting that it's a done deal.

    It’s true that putting them in to early could stunt the development. I think my issue is if neither play come draft day next year the corpse of AR probably drags us to 9 wins or so and we still have no clue if either guy is actually capable of being a starter. So do we draft another QB rd 1?? This is the problem delaying a rebuild because you have a delusional owner that thinks we are in contention.

    Coaches will have an idea but as we have seen pre season and practice carry little weight when it’s big boy time. See Kenneth Pickett.

    No, Browns use a top 5 pick every year.

    Your snarky comments make it seem like I don’t want the Steelers to actually do well and become a legit contender again. I’d say my moaning and pessimism is a lot more warranted then your rainbow and butterflies horse ****. See the last ten years…..

    The team really does seems to love him, they have great camaraderie together.

    It was reported that during player exit interviews, the common theme was the players wanted them to bring Rodgers back.

    They have some continuity under center for the first time in years. That counts for something.

    It amazes me when you don’t 100% agree with a whiner that their immediate response is that someone is rainbows and butterflies

    Several whiners have made the same response

    What is so hard with being honest and honorable :shrug:

    What is so hard with acknowledging the bad with the good :shrug:

    You’d forfeit a younger QB who could possibly be developed into more than just a BU for that. Rudolph is 30, hes not some amazing QB they cant live without.

    Go with the younger guy with more upside.

    Depends on the cost of that luxury

    If it requires getting rid of a young guy with potential that’s not a good move

    That was the Tomlin way of doing it

    MM I’m not so sure

    I wonder how it works out with the 4 QBs. You can’t keep 4 and you risk putting Howard on the PS?

    IDK about Howard on the PS

    Someone could claim him

    But would a team grab a 6th round player off of the PS and have to put him on their 53 if they have never played a snap in the NFL

    He could also select to go to another teams PS but I think he would be in a better position here

    What a colossal waste of time and energy.

    POTENTIALLY (I know. I know. It’s gonna change) the best and deepest QB class in a long time, but let’s position the franchise to sit that out because they’re “excited to see what they have in the young guys already in the building”.

    All so Rodgers can throw 300 dump offs to the RBs in less than 2 seconds.

    I’m gonna go out to the garage and smash my head with a hammer until this all sounds like not a slow moving arthritic disaster.

    Yea I don’t think he would elect to go somewhere else really wouldn’t make sense. Rudolph cut is the easy answer but Art might not want a backup with no experience. Is there a way they could actually keep 4 on active??

    If he is not NFL caliber after a few games he never should have been drafted.

    They could keep 12

    You just can’t exceed 53

    In life it never ceases to amaze me the number of people will tell you something isn’t going to work before even trying

    Didn’t we all watch Rodgers struggle to operate a credible NFL offense for 16 or 17 weeks in 2025?

    And the last time we saw Rodgers operate a MM offense; it got MM fired.

    The last time we saw Rodgers operate a west coast inspired offense supposedly catered to him was with Hackett and the Jets. That went so well everyone involved got fired.

    Personally, I’m not saying I KNOW it is not going to work. But I AM saying that expecting or counting on unique 1 of 1 outcomes that fly in the face of established patterns is not a high percentage bet.

    Brady couldn’t make what Rodgers is trying to do work. And that was with a better roster and a player who was maniacal about his physical preparation.

    There’s just not a great deal of positive precedent to build an expectation set from. The best available is that the other 52 guys on the roster seem willing to run through a wall for Rodgers.
