    I think his arm is still close to what it was in his prime, maybe 75% of peak Rodgers. But he’s very old now, has a recent injury history , and tends to play “turtle back” instead of standing firm in the pocket and taking a hit to deliver a down field throw. Can he start 12 games this year?

    His internal clock seems a bit fast. I get it. But he also out of Art Smith offense. I expect him to throw more of the 5,6,7,8 and 9 routes this year.

    One thing I’ve underestimated about AR is how good he is as a mentor for our young QB's. This is new. I’m also curious how well he’ll work with the young receivers. The early signs this year are good.

    I hope the Steelers offer him some kind of consulting position after he retires.

    Stat Wise: I am expecting him to be better this year as he will no longer have to be playing with Art Smith's playbook and Mike Tomlin's conservative approach.

    I'll go with one (this) season. He's already said he is done afterwards, so he knows his body is at that point and that's the most accurate indicator there is. Who knows better than he does.

    I would think Rodgers will have left a lot of juice since he drinks Gatorade;)
