Their patience — or desperation — rewarded, the Steelers got their guy in Aaron Rodgers. They’re rolling the dice on yet another veteran QB. But this is a buyer-beware situation. http://dlvr.it/TLCGMX - ThreadSky

I just wish Pickens was still there for the real drama

The personality nonsense is not an issue - Tomlin is a master.

Your are wish casting

Oh wow great one!!

tanoj.bsky.social•19 days ago

Thought so too ❤️

joe-tonna.bsky.social•19 days ago

I agree

dkxkee.bsky.social•19 days ago

The Steelers tried an old, past-his-prime QB last year. Didn't go so well. Why not try it again, with a guy even further past his prime, who also brings a boatload full of drama to go along with it?

retronini.bsky.social•19 days ago

They are not brave enough to do a good trade up and draft a QB for the future, just to keep the .500 record for another year.

Ya know how the History Channel goes through those phases where they find a new, even more obscure motorcycle gang to do a cheap-ass docco on?

Rodgers looks like that one old, busted up guy they keep interviewing, who accidentally patched in an FBI agent, in 1994.

Hahaha! The Steelers are going to implode

It's a 1 year deal. So you don't wind up with a Cleveland QB situation or Atlanta with the Kirk Cousins bad deal. They accumulated a lot of draft picks. I have this year chalked up as a bad year already. If he works out great if not, whatever. They will have plenty of draft capital and cap space

Fool’s Gold. The seduction: all the great ones show flashes of their prime as they age out. Ryan pitched a no-no in his 40s, never finished another game. Jordan, Woods, Ali and dozens of others had wow moments at the end. But it was the end. Small injuries pop up daily and healing takes forever. 🤐

This is a thing... not as good as I once was... but good, once, as I ever was...

I just came here to post this. #AaronRodgers #Steelers

This will not end well; I believe Tomlinson will not survive this dumpster fire!

jtwryly.bsky.social•19 days ago

Mike Tomlin must really be desperate. Maybe he suspects his seeming lifetime job security is possibly in jeopardy (has he ever won anything without Big Ben?). Panic move by an organization that should know better.

thepilot9.bsky.social•19 days ago

lol..."Rewarded".

sonofmustangford.bsky.social•19 days ago

I misread this at first as ‘Their pathetic desperation rewarded, the Steelers got their guy in Aaron Rodgers…’

My condolences to Steelers fans.

retronini.bsky.social•19 days ago

Just to keep the Tomlin .500 run for another year.

msonemic.bsky.social•19 days ago

He's going to disrespect Tomlin explicitly before the season is over and we are gonna have to fight

tonysoprano63.bsky.social•19 days ago

Tomlin already caved here by allowing him as his QB. Guy has nothing left.

nevergiveup88.bsky.social•19 days ago

Im kinda tired of tomlin after his draft performance....

nevergiveup88.bsky.social•19 days ago

Mike Tomlin doesn't have that same ability to rebuild a complete team the way he use to...
...this season will confirm whether how many more years the steelers are willing to stick with Tomlin...

potatoenthusiast.bsky.social•19 days ago

Lol don’t overthink it - the Steelers are just giving themselves cover to tank for the #1 pick in the QB-rich ‘26 draft

scottm-sig-vet.bsky.social•19 days ago

Over / under on him showing up for mini-camp?

thedeanofbluesky.bsky.social•19 days ago

They will win just enough games to put themselves out of the running for a decent QB in the draft and be right back here next year. See Vikings for most of the 2000s.
