Rodgers to Pittsburgh confirmed

[lightsout]

I just want Rodgers to play well. I think it'd be a better story. Crazy ass Aaron Rodgers winning would make the sports media lose its mind as they want Pittsburgh to compete and be successful but they want Rodgers to fail but they acknowledge him being a good QB again is best for business.

So the Steelers will suck this year

He threw 28 touchdowns last year in his first season back from a torn Achilles at 41 years old. 
 

I will give him the benefit of the doubt until this season is over. The AFC North is a horrible division to go to if you’re just trying to get to the playoffs to make some magic happen, though. He could have his usual 45 touchdown and 4 interception year and they may still end up 9-8.

Tomlin won 10 games, made the playoffs with Fields and Wilson. I think he is going to be fine with Rodgers as his qb

Rodgers isn’t going to last a full season as the Steelers QB. I bet this is his last season.

agreed. i just don't see it happening. not all season.

This... could be a little awward.

i don't see them blending well at all there. 

rodgers has this perception of himself that he's a bit better than everyone around him in all ways. not exactly what i would call a team player. he's going to be acting as if the team is lukcy to have someone like him there. 

i'm sure when he's there the narrative will be "we're all one here" but i really can't see any kind of real cohesion there between him and the rest of the team.

Feel like the NFL doesn’t really like Rodgers or I would expect a Peyton Manning final season where they make it to the Super Bowl.

they are probably ready to be done with him. 

i know they aren't looking forward to the HoF discussion that you know will come up at some point. the question is, will any team want to claim him?

Yeah. Only sad thing about it is the era I grew up watching will be over when he retires.

lol you get used to that. i was in my 30s when he started playing.

the people i watched growing up have been retired for decades.

I guess he's used to is from his Green Bay career, but I just can't imagine signing up for a frigid season in Pittsburgh when there were probably several dome teams who'd be happy to have him.

I never disliked the Steelers enough to wish Rogers on them.

 

What is it with GB QBs who just refuse to go away?
