AAron will be talking to the Steelers today

I won't be thrilled over an Aaron Rodgers signing but I've resigned myself to it. There were no sure fire options this year. Only Stafford would be a home run but he ended up not being available. Rodgers is about the best option despite his baggage and age. I don't think we're winning the Super Bowl with any of them. But Rodgers put up decent stats last year on a team with very little talent.

 

Agree with everything you said until the part about team with very little talent. Jets had better O line, RBs and WRs than Steelers. Steelers would be a downgrade for Rodgers.

 

i was watching something about why rodgers was keeping us waiting and their response was that it doesn't matter what rodgers does because the draft won't change because of him. i do agree. you still draft a qb at some point and move on with or without rodgers. if he's here great but the future is with the draft pick. with the talent we have here let rodgers eat for a year or two and let him teach this new qb. it doesn't even mean we can't add a qb draft pick next year either. we still need backups. if he makes these guys better so be it. if not we keep looking.

 

The Jets did not have a better offensive line.

 

Are there some grading scales of entire OL's we can reference?

 

It does matter because the Steelers need to move in another direction if he isn't going to sign with them. The Steelers were foolish to put themselves at his mercy.

 

That tracks. One way or another, if I'm the Steelers, I pull my offer if he doesn't decide today.

 

Pat just said "I don't know s***" [about the decision]

 

That's where I am, honestly. I think they should have signed someone and kept moving with some of the other names on the board instead of holding up the process over Rodgers or Russ. However, they have the money to sign Rodgers and add some extra pieces around him. Let's say they add Kupp. Rodgers, DK, Pickens and Kupp with Muth and Warren is pretty damn stacked. Get the line healthy and ride.

 

If the Jets are designating ARod as a post June 1st release, we should be planning on drafting one in April.

 

Can we just forget about Rogers and bring Russell Wilson back!?

 

DanO loves Dart and doesn't think he gets past Pittsburgh at 21.

 

I am no fan of bringing Wilson back, but if it were me I would give Rodgers my best and final offer and give him an hour to respond. Then I pull the plug.

I am more in favor of bringing in a much less expensive journey QB and draft Dart or Howard and let them watch and learn. Just because it didn't work out with KP8, doesn't mean you quit trying.

 

Technically Rodgers is still under contract to the Jets

Until that goes away he can not sign anywhere else

 

Well those two should get a cozy room overlooking the river and enjoy both the city and each other!!!!

 

Whoops, wrong post.

 

Yes, and if the Jets are not planning a cut until after June 1, it is time to move on. I would be more in favor of a journeyman type QB and drafting Dart or Howard in the first round.

 

Maybe were working on a trade for a QB lol

 

Sure hope this doesn't end like the WR saga last year. Hopefully Omar learned not to put all his eggs in one basket.
