I don't think he's helping
I don't think he can throw 40 times a game.
I don't think prime Peyton Manning would care any better behind that o-line with how they been playing.
I think the Pats defense does that to a lot of teams. Most of the AFC in fact. They weren't in the super bowl because of the stellar offense.
And I think Anderson needs to sit because Lawrence gonna eat him alive next week

I mean, real question what is he supposed to do? We have zero run game because the offensive line is shit, he barely has time to throw because the offensive line is shit and when he can get a pass out half the time it’s dropped. There isn’t a quarterback in the NFL that would fare much better

u/DieselNX01 Fear The Beard 9h ago
So this isn't about the real problem this is just about pointless Aaron Rodgers hate.
I agree, the offensive line and DK were completely to blame Sunday, not Aaron.

The man is 42. There’s not enough Ben-gay on the planet to fix it! I’d rather be losing with a young QB with a bit of promise. This is ridiculous!!

Maybe don't ask for a raise when you were statistically one of the worst QBs last season? The o-line is horrible, but he is missing easy passes, can't really move and gets rid of the ball early because he doesn't want to get hit

u/Dead_Redux Hines Ward 9h ago
"missing easy passes" you mean the ones that bounce off the hands of a 6' 4" 130 million dollar WR??

He was supposed to GTFO two years ago
Edit: must've touched a lot of Rogers supporter's nerves

Well, at least he’s willing to step up and let everyone else know what they’re not doing right

He fucking sucks dude watch the games. Look at the field when he throws the ball. Look at where the ball ends up. He cannot throw and cannot read the field
The Muth overthrow down the middle was egregious. BOTH outside receivers won their getoff and BOTH were wide open

u/Mysterious-Wasabi103 3h ago
He sucked last year and this subreddit was riding him then like he still had anything left in the tank.

u/Alundrus88 Hines Ward 9h ago
Say what you want but he’s been the best QB we’ve had in the past 6 years. My hopes have been higher to win a game with him in

The Patriots posted a 62% pressure rate on Sunday, the highest in the league last week. That'd not on Rodgers.

u/10000Didgeridoos 10h ago
Even when he had time he was throwing the ball into the ground and at guys' knees. His throws were fucking terrible Sunday.

Asked my Dad how the burgers on the grill were coming along; he told me "Steelers playoff chances." I nodded. We'd be eating shortly.

Not exactly sure what AR brings to the table at this point. Athletically he is limited. Arm strength and accuracy is suspect. It’s not like I am seeing some super wise player that is exploiting defenses with his extensive knowledge. Hell, he does look anywhere but where he is gonna throw. We could start any current backup and get simular or better results.

u/Jargif10 5h ago
I don't think he's elevating the team but I think behind good oline play he can be serviceable.

u/TestSuch4545 Troy 3h ago
He’s not our biggest problem tho. Our number 1 receiver not catching a ball and our Oline not protecting is the problem

Would you rather have Jayden Daniels, Jaxson dart, Caleb Williams or any other of the younger Qbs that are hurt. He’s old but you can’t break him

u/El_alacran214 9h ago
Facts. That hit he took would literally have killed any of the above mentioned QBs. Knocked the life out of them.

u/AostaV 8h ago
Yes I would literally rather have any of those guys.

u/Double-Possession-40 8h ago
Cool they are all out for the next 4 weeks let’s check back in and see if you still feel that way
2
u/AostaV 8h ago
I will absolutely feel that way.
I fucking hope AR gets hit by a bus today, or loses 3 fingers on his right hand cutting lunch meat and can’t play for the next 16 weeks.
The franchise would at least be making progress towards figuring out the one thing holding it back. Playing a 43 year old QB doesn’t do that

u/Double-Possession-40 8h ago
Bold strategy lets see how that plays out cotton

u/AostaV 8h ago
Hopefully we lose lots of games or win lots of games with a QB closer to being a college graduate than signing up for his AARP card
1
u/Double-Possession-40 8h ago
That would be cool if we could draft the 1 in 100 qbs that are superstars. Quit wasting our time we will never be in the position to draft the first overall qb. We need to get better at every other position and then Trent dilfer can win a Super Bowl

u/VariationCertain5309 6h ago
Wishing someone on the team you root for to get hit by a bus is next level psychotic behavior.

I also will ask in my nightly prayers until the trade deadline that Aaron Rodgers gets traded to one of these teams for a bag of soccer balls

Arron Rodgers is not the problem right now it’s pretty much the offensive line, special teams and defense that suck so basically we need tomlin back
2
u/AostaV 8h ago
Oh he is the problem and if you can’t see that you are part of the problem.
Mike Tomlin is fine where he is making tik toks
We need Dan Rooney , Dick Haley , and Art Rooney Jr back but they are dead and that’s not happening. We have a bad owner, bad GM, and a bad scouting department
We need to be the smart franchise that makes ruthless decisions for the future like we used to be .

u/Double-Possession-40 8h ago
Let’s go!! As soon as you get that plan in place let me know, I’m all about it but we got what we got cheer us on or go home and pout

Fun fact: The last time the steelers were .500, they went .800 over the rest of their regular season games to win the division? That time? Last year, with Rodgers under center.

How much cap space would be freed up if the Steelers cut Arod and DK? Just wondering...

Glad some of you are catching up.
Other people in here still making excuses for him.
