Rodgers is coming back

What the hell is the matter with you and this Mason Rudolph nonsense. How much more average to below average play do you need to see? You can’t blame it all on MT he was bad in Tennessee too.

 

McCarthy and AR back is the poster child for 9-8. Apparently that is our new MO

Just Win baby. Except for the playoffs then you get beat by 30.

 

Expect the Steelers to restructure some contracts now that Rodgers has signed.

 

Rudolph looked pretty idiotic in his last appearance last year against the Bills. He went 0-3 with a pick. He missed a receiver, threw a ground ball and then his last pass sailed 10 feet over the head of our 6'9" TE and was picked off. Tomlin had no choice but to bring Rodgers back in who was banged up.

 

Again I have never liked McCarthy. But I acknowledge the man knows offense. Also he was undoubtedly behind the offensive additions this offseason, which were significant. We're going to feel the difference in Pittman and Bernard. And the defensive additions were strong as well.

So I find myself wondering whether we are in a moment in time where McCarthy finds himself in the right situation. Meaning with the right GM and organization. Only real chink in what he's done so far is his DC hire. Outside of that he's been on point with one of the strongest offseasons and this draft I think was excellent.

I'm not all that confident Rodgers can stay healthy. But if he does it would not surprise me if this team were to make some noise. I am feeling pretty good about this season.

 

OK, so if they trade Mason right now, and lose 2 QBs again this preseason just like last year, what are your plans then? FYI, Skylar signed with Baltimore.

You bringing Duck Hodges out of retirement???



I still have a feeling that last year's 6th round pick Will Howard will be the guy that finds himself unemployed before the season begins looking for a Practice Squad Job. We all saw the pictures of Mason and Aaron hanging out this weekend.

That being said; In Mike McCarthy's offense is Free Agent Cooper Rush a better backup QB than Mason Rudolph? Rush was horrible last year outside of McCarthy's offense; Ravens released Rush from his 2-year contract March 12th this year.

 

under a much less QB friendly and knowledgeable staff at that time.

 

You are underestimating Father Time. It’s not physical attributes that degrade but recovery time. You pull muscles easier, tendons don’t have the same strength. Anyone that has played competitive sports and tried to do replicate what they did in their twenties, in their forties will attest to it. It’s not about fitness alone. Brady was successful later in life because his football prowess wasn’t dependent on him being a good athlete. Aaron will start out fine, but as toll of hits, strained muscles take cumulative effect, he will degrade in his performance. I think even with better talent around him, by fifth or sixth game, it will be grandpa Rodgers needs to get out of there. I still don’t think that future long term qb is on the team. I can’t think of any qb that was successful in nfl, but had only average stats in college. Both Allar and Howard had average stats despite having elite talent around them.
