Steelers fans should root for Green Bay to lose in the playoffs

I'm not really in favor of giving up multiple picks for players, but Rodgers at 39 is a lot better than Ben at 39.

 

Yep. Bet he lands in SF too.

 

... again guys.


Aaron Rodgers has a NO TRADE CLAUSE. This essentially places the ball in his court. He shall be the one to decide whether or not he would want to be traded to a particular destination; Pittsburgh or otherwise.


Again though, Najee Harris, Pat Freiermuth and Diontae Johnson... that is more or less what Aaron would be working with; a poor Offensive Line doubly so and no less. Why on earth would he want to come here? Now, somewhere like Denver, a team with more weapons and a chance to improve more on the Offensive Line than the Steelers? That is a destination worth considering.... except both Justin Herbert and Patrick Mahomes dominate the AFC West at present. Houston nor Miami will likely make a play for him. Regarding San Francisco??.... what would that make Trey Lance then? For that matter, that would make the play to acquire him even worse. However, none of these options matter. Why?


Unless Aaron Rodgers is cut, no team realistically has a shot at him unless he himself is interested thanks to, and again, the no trade clause. The Packers cannot force him to go to that team nor can they restructure his contract to say that he can; doubly so since the Packers are way over the cap at present. As much as I personally hate to say it, I would rather the Steelers either find that guy in the 2022 draft or focus on the more critical area's so that either Haskins or Rudolph can perform as best as they can; preferably Haskins for me but I digress.



For that matter, the only QB I would want the Steelers to pursue is Derek Carr but again, what is Las Vegas going to ask for him? Derek Carr is mobile but I severely doubt he would survive behind this Offensive Line. Have to build the trenches for the QB to even survive; yet another reason I do not believe Joe Burrow will last as long as others believe should he continue to get beaten like a piñata.

 

Can't do that if they trade the top picks to get Rodgers.

 

He’s a basic accountant

 

However, at what point has Rodgers expressed any interest in coming here?! Yes, he has an admiration for Tomlin but it is going to take more than just a mere form of appreciation to garner his attention. Aaron wants to compete for a Super Bowl title; a championship caliber roster being his most desirable spot.



Pittsburgh is not even close to being that. This Offensive Line needs fixed... bad. There is no WR that can stretch the field either. Never mind the offense though as the defense has its own share of problems; Linebacker and Defensive Line being chief among them. Too many deficiencies for this team to contend for a title unlike Buffalo or even Cincinnati for that matter.



If I am Aaron Rodgers, I would pick and choose my team carefully.

 

True but Colbert has only traded a first round pick once. I don’t see it happening, he doesn’t want to come here anyway he just likes to stir it up.

 

Agreed to disagree.


I just do not see a Championship Caliber Team with the one we have; Rodgers or otherwise.

 

Being shot is better than being hung

 

I knew it wasn't going to happen even before someone said they wanted it to happen.

 

The reason it will happen is Coach T and AR really like each other and after the show that Patrick and Josh put on the AFC is exactly where AR wants to be.. He probably play a bit cheaper if he has free range of play calling and gets a chance to beat those guys to lock in his place as a Great QB .. He needs SB wins and to do that against those guys to get there he will be all about it..AR is coming and 4 1st. rounders is a bargain to get him here .. Coach T on his last leg so he will go all in to make it happen or he can say blater I wanted this cat and you guys would not do it so my failure is on you.. That's what the wink,wink was all about..

 

He won’t even have Adams next year by the looks of it, he is an unrestricted free agent and they’d have some crazy cap gymnastics to do in order to tag him. Doubtful he will be signing a long term deal.

Packers are heading in to a period of change after years of restructuring guys to keep what they thought was a championship roster together

 

idiot

 

Come on, man. Come on. Rodgers said he like Tomlin's confidence and had heard good things about him; he didn't say anything about the offense he built of strategical prowess.

Rodgers isn't coming.

 

I see no Franchise QB'S coming out the next 2 or 3 drafts ...AR actually likes to play under Center and use PA ..AR also throws a great deep ball .. We have a good RB a good TE and DJ,Juju, and RayRay are not bad across the middle and on quick routes.. If Claypool could become a deep threat our run game could really explode, with real PA our quick routes could become big plays with pinpoint accuracy from the QB spot.. I think Coach T has some leverage as Ben has really ran the Team so he can point out the things Ben could not do and show what AR can do and how we could become explosive and is that not worth future 1st round picks that may or may not work out?

Ben should have retired 3 seasons ago and AR has at least 4 more good NFL years IMO.. In that window we might could win 1 or maybe even 2 SB'S ...

 

Rodgers hasn't scored more than 40 points in a playoff game since 2010; and Tomlin hasn't kept another team from scoring 40 points in a playoff game since 2016. I think it's a bad mix.

 

Well, I’ve never been shot, but I’ve never found the other to be a problem.

 

Eff the Bengals

 

Fair enough and in a ideal world i agree younger with less invested would be better , but a change in approach to a win now mode with AR is not a path that we should not at least consider .. 2 1st. would be much better if we could pull that off..

 

Hung like a mouse huh I haven't heard that one in awhile..lol.
