Report: Aaron Rodgers Is At Steelers Facility On Friday

I don't begrudge him doing what he thinks is right.

Just like I didn't begrudge Bell sitting out a year even though I thought it was a bad decision.

I do think that Rodgers choices are (1) play with us and start, (2) retire, (3) be a backup somewhere...likely for less than what we're offering him.
There will be at least 1, maybe 2 teams that will need a starting QB very early, Rodgers could be waiting for that to happen so that his services are higher in demand.
 
Add in that the talent pool is lowering continuously. The college portal allows players to jump to the highest bidder, not giving them any long term Developement other than win now baby. No able to work on the extreme details of fine tuning, as in a long term relationship.



Salute the nation
That can be argued to be the same as the NFL
 
Waiting for a training camp injury to a starter is another. Or for a guy like JJ McCarthy to look so bad they give ARod a call.
Good point. There is that 4th option.

It's a pretty bad look for him to be on the couch at the beginning of the year IMO. But so it taking a low-ball offer I guess.
 
That was the point. Don't need rodgers
Agree, but I want to see the meltdown on the sideline when Shades and Smith tell him not to call audibles or throw over the middle.
I demand entertainment, someone once said.

I know u do. I want change too. But controlling the things I can, I'm rooting for Rudolph to do well in the face of so much unwarranted hate
 
I also hope Mason gets a chance to be QB1 this year. See what he can do.

**** Rodgers

I hope Howard ascends to be the next in a long list of guys that steals Mason’s lunch and becomes QB1…I know I’m dreaming, but if we can have the future QB1 secured as a 6th it really opens up next year’s potential to stock up and reload the cupboard.

I hope Mason gets his chance leading the team out to a 3-2 start or so but then Howard is just looking so damn good in practice that he gets a couple series and just never looks back. Or better yet, from the total dream world…he pulls a “Roethlisberger” and just goes on a crazy win streak after the veteran QB goes down early with an injury and never looks back.

Alright, alright…I’ll head back down into my peyote den

Even better. No Rodgers.

I could see Howard sitting a year and then having a shot next year. Would be awesome if he was the next Ben.
 
A Tomlin-Rodgers pairing would probably yield a 20 TD 2 Int type season with the usual 19-16 donneybrooks week in and week out. No signs that Tomlin intends any time soon to eschew the shorten the games limit the possessions philosophy that has become his trademark since Ben's injury.
