As a Steelers fan, well, ugh. I think I need to go puke. I was really hoping they’d tell him to pound salt and start one of their young guys. If they stink, oh well, they get a high pick in the draft and can try another young QB. If one of them is good, you have your QB going forward. Now they’ll just win 9-10 games like always. Either miss the playoffs or get blown out on WC weekend like always. Draft somewhere in the 20s like always. Have no viable QB to start next year, like always.
Even if Rodgers has one last great year in him, so what? They aren’t a real contender anyway. They need another year or two to really build a great roster. Rodgers will NOT be the QB the next time the Steelers are a contender no matter what happens this year. Allan or Howard MIGHT be. Probably unlikely but at least there is a chance. It’s time to move on, but they just won’t do it
I see what you’re saying. Maybe he’ll have a decent season at age 42. But there’s no way they can be building for the future with a 42 year old quarterback.
