Fans must be psyched.

Yeah super psyched. another wasted season of not finding their next young QB. The Rooney family has turned into a joke.

I actually like it alot. He was FAR from the problem last year. They now have an above elementary school coaching staff (first time in 15 years) on both sides of the ball and have upgraded their roster tremendously. They drafted the most gifted (arm talent wise) qb in the class who can now sit an entire year and be coached and developed behind a top 5 qb of all time. Next year when Allar takes over he will be surrounded by a great roster and protected by an oline full of studs. They won the division last year with a horrendous coaching staff, 38 year old 4th string receivers and a worse roster. They will be much better than last year and have a potential future QB in waiting. Good move.

I dont like the Steelers. So yes, good move.

The only person in Aaron’s universe is Aaron.

 

[Gellar]

I feel like it’s early in the offseason for Rodgers to be making decisions like this.

You think this makes them worse?

I don't know. Some pretty legendary players and coaches absolutely loved him last year in Pittsburgh and last I checked its almost impossible to find a teammate that hates him from his time in Green Bay. Did he beat your team a bunch back in the day or you just hate him as a person or both?

Rodgers has a new assistant coach?

Truth!

All things considered( age) Rodgers had an ok season last year.
His football IQ is top notch, but the legs are only going to be a year slower.
The arm still ok. I would be surprised he makes it through the season.
HOF quarterbacks are generally pretty egotistical. I dont think being a mentor to a young qb is Rodgers forte either.

That said, I always like to see the rocking chair crowd have a little success.

 

[noharleyyet]

A rocking chair qb that’s gobbling up his kinda cap space should not body language teammate & coaching pessimism. He literally should shut up and dribble.

Mike is there. mtmuley

I can just sleep better now knowing that he might not show up in purple tomorrow morning.

I wonder what Mike Vrabel is doing today? mtmuley

Me too, but for the exact opposite reason as you do!

3300 yards 24 TDs 7 INTs with a broken wrist and throwing to 38 yr old Adam Thielen and beyond washed Marquez Valdez Scantling...in 2026. Didn't even have the only capable wr on the team the last two games of the season and still won the division sweeping the Ravens. All with the worst coaching and schematics over the past decade and it isn't close.

As for mentor, Jordan Love and he have a great relationship and Love has made it well know how much he learned from Rodgers. Mason Rudolph and Will Howard echoed the same thing last year numerous times so

They didn't bring him back to be a mentor. They brought him back to compete and win games. Having a young prospect witness the day in day out and learn from him is huge.

Do I think Rodgers will be throwing for 40 tds and in the mvp conversation? Hell no. Do I think the steelers are winning the super bowl? No. Will they be better in every aspect than last year and be competing at the end? Yes. They need an adult calling plays and actual professional football schematics on offense and defense which they will finally have after the past 15 years of elementary status.

Putting all options out there Rodgers was their best option and a good one in my opinion. Not only do they have a capable QB they also drafted a talented young kid to coach. I don't see what else people want them to do? Rodgers is making 22 million this year which is like 18th highest for starting qbs. Hardly an over pay.
