    According to The Athletic, Aaron Rodgers initially thought his time with the Steelers was done when Mike Tomlin left. He said that he recommended Khan interview McCarthy for the job.

    “I encouraged him, from an outside perspective, to interview Mike (McCarthy), not thinking that he even would, honestly,” Rodgers said. “Then when it became more serious, I was thinking, ‘Wow, that’d be a really interesting thought to come back and play with Mike.’”

    I think he actually means it this time, or at least I hope so.

    Yeah it was so exaggerated that McCarthy lost his job. That doesn't mean they aren't friends. This happens with band members all the time, and then later they get back together. You are around someone sometimes too much, and it wears on both people, and later you start missing what you had.

    Steelers have made me sad since they didn't show up in the AFC Championship vs Patriots in 2017. I've been sad for a long time. :frown:

    I think Rodgers will be fine as long as he doesn't push a blocking shed in training camp like Russell Wilson did :shrug:.

    When a player talks about retiring, he’s already retired.

    Lost his job because he wasnt getting the job done.

    Also people were using that “rift” as for a reason that Rodgers wont come play here.

    I think it was a rift back then, but as I've said already. That doesn't mean they still weren't friends later, and I never once thought it would hamper him coming back. In fact after Tomlin left, I thought it would be the only reason Rodgers came back here

    You still havent explained how that changes anything from Troys standpoint in regards to his mechanics of being able to block on the left side. His mechanics do not change whether he is protecting the blind side or not.

    I don't mean to jump in on yous guys discussion, but I think you both have a point.
    It wouldn't change his mechanics much You ar correct on this, but it could change the decision by His coaches, and any coach they faced, for scheme purposes.
    Had he not had a left handed Qb , would they have started him at that side? Were they confident he could protect the blindside?? Again. I believe You both have good points.
