AAron will be talking to the Steelers today

Danica Patrick should have ran him over when she had the chance.

 

There's no doubt about it, Rodgers wants to be like his mentor(Favre) and play for the Vikings... And he doesn't want OTAs, minicamp, or even training camp, so he'll wait as long as he can.

The Steelers would be smarter to try experiments and play the young players as much as possible in 2025 instead to try of winning as many games as possible, since with or without the 41-year-old Rodgers, they'll be a wild card exit at best, but the Steelers are too delusional by thinking that they have a chance in 2025 even if the results have been the same for years now like wild card exit at best

 

please forget about this washed up loser. He doesn't want to practice doesn't want to be part of this team. MOVE ON

 

I remember this after the 44-38 win vs bengals last year

He prefer to win 17-14 that a high scoring game

 

I wouldn't say he's a loser, and he might still have something left in him, but I agree that it's past the time for the Steelers to move on from Rodgers. I say they should take a chance on Will Howard and see what happens.

 

It's part of their effort to compete while at the same time re-tool the roster.

What I'm seeing lately is Khan using a three- to five-year plan to turn the roster around, starting with the trenches. Next year he appears to be gearing up for a blue-chip QB, while still having a good amount of picks to add more young talent.

In the meantime, they keep making moves like Slay and Rodgers to put as competitive a team on the field as they reasonably can.

 

I don't see it either. The most they'd want Cousins for is this year, and it would cost too much. Why not just sign Wentz?

 

Fields is not Rudolph. The thing Rudolph did best when he took over was get the ball to Pickens, something Fields was not able to do nearly well enough early last season. Maybe running the hell out of him would have worked against the Bengals because they sucked, but against the Ravens in the playoff game? Hell no.

I don't think sticking with Wilson was about owing him. Tomlin thought he gave them the best chance to win. The only version of the team from last season that had a shot against anybody in the playoffs was the one we saw with Wilson at quarterback. Was it so unreasonable to stick with him against the Bengals, the team he had torched just a month earlier? The game plan that night was horrid and nobody blocked Hendrickson worth a damn, but I doubt Fields helps there.

I get the frustration, but Fields never looked like more than the backup they intended him to be last season.

 

Perhaps because he is an uncoachable jackass who hasn't played decent football since 2021. I would rather let Rudolph start and turn it over to Howard if the team stinks.

 

Sounds like a boring proposition either way. I'd rather they just roll with Rudolph or Howard, preferably Howard. We know by now that Rudolph is a decent back up at best. Howard might have a higher ceiling, but there's only one way to find out.

 

So they aren't that way with Mason, Trubisky, and Kyle Allen??? That makes no sense, and if this is true, what does it say about the confidence, and what they really thought about Fields, and Pickett???

 

Why? The Steelers currently have Mason, Skylar and 6th round pick Will Howard on the roster. Until they actually fill that 4th chair with another QB, why pull the offer?

If you are looking to buy a new house, or a new car, why would you pull your low-ball offer off the table until you actually bought a new house or new car. The seller may actually try to counter, but you can always say "No, that is my offer, and I am sticking to it."

I have been saying this all along, that Khan has made his offer, and it is Aaron that is doing all the Media Hype crap to get Khan to raise his offer. Aaron went on record stating he would play for $10 million, and Khan didn't blink. I think Khan is absolutely low-balling Aaron, and in the end, he is going to get Aaron Rodgers for a song or not at all. I have given Khan a lot of grief for how he seems to be losing out on free agents, because of his low-ball offers, but that is just the way Khan likes to play the game. "My offer is on the table, take it, leave it, or do whatever you want with it, but my offer is not going to get any better."

 

You think Noll and Cowher wanted to be in shootout games? This team isn't built to win shootout games on a consistent basis.

 

No argument here. I just threw it out there in case they happen to be glued to the idea that an experienced vet not named Rudolph be the starter.

 

The past two years I began to see Khan as much more a deliberate, cautious planner than one comfortable with being more nimble and spontaneous. Not saying one is necessarily better than the other, but there have been situations where I've wondered why he wasn't more aggressive. Given that he has in fact made some aggressive moves in his short time in the role leads me to believe they were part of a plan.

Continuing to sit where they are at quarterback, however, presents a fork in the road. If they elect Rudolph/Howard, they're obviously thinking more about 2026. But they've extended the offer (and continue to stick) to Rodgers, which signals they're looking to compete to some degree in 2025. While there wasn't a golden opportunity QB this year (unless you were high on Sanders), the way they've played the cards they were dealt has inspired a lot of confusion.

We are the Pittsburgh Steelers we don't rebuild! Where can I get my T-Shirt.

 

If you read my entire post, you would know my reasoning for saying they should pull the offer

 

As I stated in my post..... building chemistry is paramount.... Rodgers has never taken snaps or dropped back behind this o-line..... he has never handed off to any of our rb's.... he has never thrown a single pass to any of our wr's or te's....
In this case, voluntary ota's actually do mean something....
I would hope that a qb that's been around as long as Rodgers would understand that

 

Chemistry is just one part of it. It's also installing plays of the playbook that caters to Rodgers' skillset. His WR need to practice his plays asap. If Rodgers isn't signed by the morning, then I just go with Mason for this season. Sure he's 40+ and truly doesn't need to practice, but his teammates need to practice with him.
