It would be a shame for Rodgers to ruin another season now that the Ground Hog’s Day fog has finally lifted.
Art needs to grow a pair and just move on

They can always package picks and trade up. Plenty of times have done it and will continue to.

Didn’t the Steelers also say that Rodgers decision wouldn’t impact their draft plans? What difference does it make, and what are they going to do, trade up for Mendoza? Any other QB will likely be available when they pick.
Agreed..
The only thing it might change is how quickly they pull a trigger to reach for a quarterback, not knowing what Rogers is going to do…
But the overall scheme of things I think it’s time to move on from Aaron Rodgers… an organization can’t continue to play Footsy with a 40 something-year-old quarterback with diminished skills..

They know Rodgers is likely a one year option. If they really like a QB in the draft, I think they’ll take him regardless of the round, including the first. I don’t think they’ll pass on a guy because Rodgers is on the roster.
Have to agree here, believing that Rodgers, Howard, Rudolph or any realistic QB in this draft is going to propel this team deep into the playoffs, suddenly becoming a contender again, is a bit far-fetched. Years of mediocrity has left this team more than one player away and will have them drafting 18-22 once again. They need big uglies that can exercise their will before the glamour boys. Well, unless McCarthy works some kind of magic.
They could, but other than Mendoza, which isn't a trade up possibility, what other QB in this draft is worth the risk of trading away their future?
This team has lots of holes and needs to get younger.
Nothing this year. Possibly the next. But yeah still an unknown. This year looks like the 3rd or 4th round is the value area.
Yes, we do have to upgrade our big uglies…
But my opinion, I believe the defensive lines more need than the offensive line…
We have to be able to stop the opposing teams run game.. and we have been well below the line in that regard the last several years, mainly because of the lack of a true nose tackle in our 34..
Stopping the opposing teams run game consistently generates three and outs, increases our offensive time of possession, and also increases turnovers and sacks by putting in a team in a position that they have to throw the football….
That is winning football, especially Steeler winning football..
Well at least he didn’t miss wide open guys.
and he'll have NFL caliber WRs again
Someone has to want to trade back though. No ones trading away from Manning or a real blue chip guy. You can still get someone like Nix but that's atypical.
Never said it would impact their draft, it definitely shouldn't. It makes us look like a rinky dink organization. That's being talked about in the national media, we look like morons sitting around waiting on a 43 year old QB that can't move and is afraid of contact, that beat 1 playoff team.
If this guy is your starter this coming season, after watching him look like crap in the worse home playoff loss in team history, you should make his *** be here working with the new staff, new players, etc.
F'ing Joe Flacco was in Cleveland for voluntary stuff last year, so was Sam Darnold in Seattle.
This just tells me Rodgers doesn't care if this team gets better, he just wants his ego stroked and talked about in the media. Bringing Rodgers back does zero for us, so why are letting him string us along. We'd be killing the Browns if they were doing this.
Six different starting QB's in the last six seasons. The effing Browns don't have that many.
I still give it 70/30 that A-Aron is back.

Agreed. We won with Mason and Duck as our starting QBs one year. The talent on this roster is pretty good (compared to a number of other teams) provided we stay relatively healthy. If we crash at QB we'll still not be in the top 8 picks.
I sincerely hope Rodgers does not come back. Yank off the band-aid.
And a different starting QB to start the season each of the past 5 seasons.

It’s not just that they are a player or two away, it’s another thing that many forget or don’t mention……
Winning attitude / culture is huge, Cowher’s teams had that and Tomlin’s teams lost that.
Years of mediocrity / scheme / discipline actions / and other have taken that away from them.
It is a true factor in the upping of play for play offs and beyond.
Salute the nation

He had a 94.8 passer rating with arguably the leagues worst receiver corps last year. Who says bringing him back does nothing for the Steelers?
Alot of people, he had the leagues 4th highest paid WR. Russ had a similar passer rating with less at WR his season here. His passer rating vs playoff teams was something like 65.
He's a year older, beat 1 playoff team(NE who turned the ball over 6 times and still almost beat us). How does him being a year older do anything for us? We aren't winning the super bowl with him and bringing him back just kicks the can down the road another year at find a QB. He obviously doesn't want to try to make the team better or he'd be here working with the new guys and staff.
I mean it’s obvious that our Fan Base does not like the thought of one guy thinking he can dictate to the whole team. What a ****-tard approach that was absolutely panned last season and they have the audacity to let it happen again. They are once again going to wait so long and play this silly little game that he will seem like it’s the only option. We don’t like being laughed at. I can just imagine what’s being said behind closed doors by other teams.
Rodgers old *** should be at every team function there is. New HC….new OC….new OLine coach. New WR’s. He should not be missing any chance of practice whatsoever. What message does this send? Who’s running the ship? Why the **** isn’t our new HC laying down the law? I would have had instant respect for Big Mike if he came out swinging.
Last season we were probably all a little curious to see how he would play. And obviously he was better than the 5 before him. And also obviously he’s not the answer. Of course he will win us some games. And show flashes every once in a while of his old self,But just like Ben did he will look old ,slow,not want to be hit and inconsistent.
We would be in to year two of Darts
development. We should be debating about what pieces to put around our new young QB. Instead the circus continues. Start Howard. We have to see what he has. I hate to say this but it’s true. I’m watching a show about a cool old house being renovated. They are painstakingly trying to honor its past yet put their own stamp on it. Of course it’s a money pit.
The owner came on and talked about how really they are just stewards not owners and the best they can possibly do is to leave it better off than they found it for future stewards. And I thought Mann…..this is just like coaching philosophy should be. The team should be better off than when you got here. Millions will be charmed by little quick witted Tomlanism’s weekly. A few of us will think differently.
