    We really needed WR help so what if we had kept GP...
    What if we had moved up and drafted Emeka , he was my target..
    What if Metcalf had not been a bonehead ?

    I think AR can still throw the ball so maybe we get some weapons and run it back 1 more time ?

    A new Coach a new scheme and AR and some weapons who knows what could happen ? We will need WRS for the future anyway the room is basically empty.. I say we go WR in round #1 and 2...I am not a huge fan of Metcalf ..

    Art II said Rodgers came to the Steelers because of Tomlin, I don't see him wanting to return under a whole new coaching staff in what could be a rebuild.

    Good Points it would depend on the HC and who the OC is for sure and how much freedom AR would have ? It would also matter if the Team was committed to getting some talent for AR... He made some great throws and guys stopped the routes dropped balls and things of that nature.. AR may still have something to prove ?

    When Coach T retired AR told him he was sorry ,sounds like a guy who still feels he can do better ? It would be better for the new staff to have a vet at the QB spot ..I think they should try to bring him back..

    Shouldn't the thread title be "What if my aunt had balls?" in honor of Tomlin?

    AR is too contact averse at this point in his career. Hell, at this point in his life. The body hurts a lot more and takes longer to heal. I think we all can relate to that. Too many times, he rushed throws, threw in the dirt, and didnt go through his progression. He just isn’t the same QB he was. And at this point, is below average for a starting caliber NFL QB. I'd be happy if they took a flyer on Howard or some other young unproven QB to start building the future on. This reliance on old worn out gunfighters isnt working.

    It is certainly time to move on from signing old quarterbacks with diminished skills.

    I applaud what Rodgers did this season. He tried valiantly through a hand broken in multiple spots. He gave the team some advantages with his mental prowess and experience and really worked with the players on the roster, but he is simply too immobile and is not worth moving forward with now that there will be a new coaching staff and a fresh direction.

    It is time for the team to sign a free agent quarterback, draft a quarterback, or both. The position needs youth, talent, skill, and enthusiasm.

    Valid points , but he was more like Barney with 1 bullet...I think he could look much better with some guys who can actually get open and catch . No matter who we have at HC or OC or at QB if we don't upgrade the WR spot a bunch we will look horrid ...

    That joke has been around since Moses wore short pants.
