59 of 80 73.8% 780 yds 2 TD 2 INT 102.1 rating

Lamar Jackson
53 of 87 60.9% 761 yds 3 TD 3 INT 86.4 rating

Ben Roethlisberger

To be fair what Lamar does with his feet should be included.  It really makes him a dynamic and dangerous QB.  I hate to say it but he's a lot of fun to watch.

The AFCN gas some serious young talent at QB.  This is going to be a fun division for the next decade assuming these guys stay healthy.

So does Pitt go with Rudolph or Haskins?

[motoarch]

Haskins? I dunno. Both suck.

I'm gonna laugh now but I'm hiding how worried I am they get Aaron Rodgers for 2022.

I agree. Baker is a good QB, but not elite. Joe has the potential to be the best of all 4, but right now Jackson is definitely the most dynamic.

It's a very good division of QBs though. Except for Ben, of course. He sucks.

Baker only having 3 TD passes through 3 games kind of stands out to me. And one of the games was against the Texans…

That running game really does carry their offense.

Rodgers is only 2 years younger than Fat Ben. Would the Stools really want to put up big numbers for a guy that would be 38 next year, when Ben is stinking the place up and falling off a cliff at 39 this year? I am more apt to believe they try to get someone younger

You put Rodgers on that team with those WR’s and that defense they’re an instant contender.

It would be very, very bad…

Right now, but my point is how long until Rodgers falls off a cliff like Ben. They're basically the same age. I could see a 1 yesar deal maybe while they look for someone younger.

baker would likely have a lot more touchdowns if their run game wasnt so good.


Ben is on the Decline...  But one should never write him out

Sure.  Look what manning did after the colts kicked him to the curb.  Look at what old man Brady is still doing.  The Steelers have some really great young defenders and with the right QB could make a legit SB run.  Even if Rogers only has 3-4 really good years left I can't see why a team that's ready to win now but is short a QB wouldn't want Rogers.

You can try to argue the Steelers aren't ready now but just look what they did last year with a fat bloated QB that has zero interest in taking care of shelf did.  Rogers by comparison may be almost as old but he's taken care of his body and is still at the top of his game.  Ben on the other hand is not.  He's done.

Hey, the Tampa Bay Bucs signed a 93 year old Tom Brady and still won the Super Bowl. My guess is that the Steelers may try to get Rodgers if they think they can still win a SB, but either way they'll certainly be looking to start a QB not named Ben Roethslisberger next year.

Baker is literally Andy Dalton.

Except Baker is a better actor than Andy.

Our challenge will be with both the Browns and the Rats to stop the ground game - we do that and we have the advantage.
