    Slim pickings for sure very low expectations for next season.

    How depressing to see that's the choices we have for next season. I didn't even vote because it doesn't even matter they all suck.

    GOAT? I don't see Tom Brady in that picture. Rodgers a GOAT is laughable. 1 SB for the great one.

    According to @tompelissero, #Steelers HC Mike McCarthy is very intrigued by the UPSIDE in QB Will Howard.

    Should be a choice for "Unknown"

    Howard is also an unknown. From what I heard, McCarthy has an idea of what he has as far as QB.
    I imagine some things will happen pretty quick come March 26. (21st with the tampering period)

    Guys that would not surprise me:
    Mac Jones - It would have to be a trade but I think McCarthy could work with him very well.
    Malik Willis - This is don't want. I'm more of a conventional QB type.
    Ty Simpson - I could see this.
    Carson Beck - could fall to us.
    Cooper Rush? McCarthy got a 4-1 streak out of him. Not a long term solution.

    It's a very 'iffy' situation. March 26 should kind of tip the hand just a little.

    No matter what our QB room will be the worst in the league next year. It will make the Saints QB's Tyler Shough and Spencer Rattler look like Montana and Young.

    Sign Rodgers, draft Allar in the 3rd. Let Howard and Allar battle of for QB1 in 2027.

    LMAO of course he is, a 6th rounder who has never played a down - this is just organizational feel-good spin, tryong to sell a terrible hire as intruiging, if you can't see thruugh this nonsense you're a total rube.

    MM is going to find out very soon what not being gifted a magic carpet ride with star QB is going to be like. Good luck with that.

    Aaron Rogers is no GOAT. That is Tom Brady. After that we have Joe Montana. Below that Elway, Bradshaw, Marino, Fouts, Young, Staubach. Below that Rothlisberger, Rodgers, Favre, Mahomes etc.

    I am still guessing Kirk Cousins, even after the McCarthy hiring.

    After he gets released by the Falcons in March.
