Sure, let’s dive into this chaotic sea. From Pittsburgh’s steel heartland, the Steelers find themselves clutching Mason Rudolph as their go-to QB, just in case Aaron Rodgers pulls the ultimate retirement move. Honestly, can you blame them? Dan Graziano hinted, no… stated, they’re ready for this guy if Rodgers decides his 20-season marathon is enough.
But wait, Rodgers, during a question-and-answer gig with Mike Stud – rapper extraordinaire? – dropped a few jaw-droppers. Asked about playing for the Chicago Bears? Hard pass. But playing in Chicago on a road trip? Totally different story, apparently.
Okay, so why isn’t Rodgers inked with the Steelers yet? Personal stuff. Yeah, this legend spilled some beans on Joe Rogan’s podcast. Apparently, some close folks are battling health issues. Life, man. It’s messy.
Catch this: Rodgers, who’s seriously one of the greatest QBs ever – and I’m not just throwing that around – had a rough ride with the New York Jets, chucking 28 touchdowns against 11 interceptions. Oof, not his finest hour. And let’s not forget, Achilles tears heal slow. So, his Jets offense was kinda dragging last year, finishing 24th in yards and points. Brutal.
Remember when Rodgers, good ol’ Green Bay hero, snagged the Super Bowl win in 2010? Plus, he’s a four-time MVP kingpin from 2011 to, well, 2021. Loads of top honors, touchdown ratios, passer ratings… the guy’s resume is fatter than a holiday turkey.
But yeah, greatness fades. Can he still rock it? Who knows? The man’s not getting younger. Meanwhile, the Steelers are cool with Rudolph stepping up if Rodgers decides retiring is more his style.
Steelers like, “Yawn, this is old news,” ‘cause everyone has heard Rodgers heading to Pittsburgh is the offseason’s worst-kept secret. Yet here we are, talking Rudolph. The Steelers scooped him back up, sealing a two-year deal, pulling their ex-third-rounder back after a Titans detour. Basically, they’re saying he’s ready to roll. Just saying.
Last year, Pittsburgh shuffled quarterbacks like it was a card game. Justin Fields and Russell Wilson? Both hightailed to New York – Jets, Giants, you name it. Rudolph, in his grand return, clinched a 3-0 run, nudging Steelers into the postseason. Sweet comeback, huh?
But Tennessee was a mixed bag for him. Rudolph fumbled to 1-4 stepping in for Will Levis. Started eight games, throwing for 1,530 yards, with nine TDs and nine interceptions. Enough stats to make anyone’s head spin.
So, there’s your snapshot, in all its chaotic glory. Steelers gearing up for whatever rides the wind. Let’s see who takes the helm – Rodgers or Rudolph. Who knows what’s next? That’s football for you.
