no longer in his prime Aaron is the 3rd best QB in the division
It's next season and I'm hopeful

All over X.
He'll fly to Pittsburgh and sign on Friday.
Another (at best) mediocre year for the Steelers!
Are Steelers fans happy about this?!

Finally found a blog and seems like they're imploding!
Some are blaming Tomlin and others the organization and it doesn't seem like there's much hope!
I LOVE IT!

Kind of like when I was teasing my son before the draft, telling him that Sheduer Sanders was going to be the QB of the Cleveland Browns. He called and gloated for two nights straight over Sanders not having been drafted, but he's pretty humble about the situation these days...

Awesome. Tomlinson can finally have that losing season. Rogers will get blasted in the AFCN.

Steelers with Aaron Rodgers at QB? Please re-sign Trey Hendrickson, please re-sign Trey Hendrickson...

And will sign Flacco next year and Kirk Cousins the year after that. Love their strategy.

Oh, I've spoken with a few of my lifelong friends who are Steeler fans. They think that this will finally be the move that get's Tomlin down the road.

Already in few days of camp Sanders has gone from "longshot to make the team" to "possible starter".

It's only a question over who Rodgers shivs first - the OC, or Tomlin

I think the Steelers want a shot at one of the QBs coming out next year. For that they need to tank, and for that they need a QB that has nothing left in theirs. We'll see how the season progresses, but if the Steelers start putting their stars on IR for likely turf toe and weak sprains, then the Steeler fans can cheer for losses to finally get a decent QB.....but I'm not sure it would cost Tomlin his job.

Rodgers at his age in the AFC North? Hes gonna get a beating with that O-line in Pittsburgh. He wont make it through an entire season.

Well at least I won’t have to root against Will Howard for a year. Maybe.

No, they are obsessed with their completely non-consequential string of non-losing seasons. They are tied with DAL for the longest at 21 - one more and the record is all theirs.
They do not and will not tank (and finishing in the bottom 3-5 is an entirely different level of tanking). They easily could have hoped to see what Howard has later in the year letting Rudolph run things for half the season. But they've been believing they're just a QB away for the last 5 years. I can promise you they really believed Wilson could get them to the SB last year.

Rodgers will be getting the ball out in 1.3 seconds like Ben was his last year to protect him from getting pounded. The result is going to be predictably mediocre.

Wow ok. So they're delusional.
Who do you think is the most out of touch? GM? Rooneys? Tomlin?
