QB2022: Getting it Right

[DesertSteel]

His love of the 49ers is well known, but I agree he'll consider the Steelers due to things you mentioned. This team currently constructed, is similar to the Bucs before Brady joined.

The 49s have the 3rd pick of this year's draft ready to take over. No way Rodgers goes into a QB controversy scenario. In Pittsburgh, he has to beat out Mason Rudolph lol.

Why would he go to a place that just drafted Trey Lance?

The only thing he’s said so far is that he would never go to Chicago. Lol.

[86WARD]

Sometimes the gem is found outside of the hype. I say they make a run for Rodgers. If that fails, they go through the draft. No way Rodgers will sign under the conditions of the Steelers drafting a QB!

I can see that. I can also see them just sticking with the three QBs they have in Rudolph, Haskins and Dobbs…

I tend to think the latter is more likely.

I imagine there will be a few QBs out there to pick up if we don’t draft one, ones that would probably do well in a better system with weapons and (hopefully) an OL that is going to be solid for the next several years.

They will bring in a free agent if they don't draft one. There's no way we go into next season with MR, DH, and JD, IMO. Either Rudolph or Haskins will likely be cut and then one of them will compete for the starting job with either a rookie or free agent. I don't see them bringing in any big names, but there will be better QBs out there than what we have that do not require a fat contract.

Yeah, if they did that, I'd have to change my opinion of Colbert. A lot.

[Steeler-in-west]

Just my guess, I don't think they're sticking with MR/Haskins JD only, unless one of them - most likely MR takes over for Ben this season and does well. If we finish at or above 500 with Ben they probably sign a FA next year (Rodgers?),

i don't think they draft a QB unless we have a 4 or 5 win type season.

I would hope not but would anyone be surprised? They love sticking with “their guys” for too long.

Not all WRs are created equal. In the Steelers current way of running their offense, they want/need a guy who can get off the line of scrimmage and beat close one on one coverage without any help from motion or formation. This is how they typically use their "X" WR. Often that guy is the 1 on the opposite side of a 3 receiver alignment on the other side of the field.

No other WR on the roster can do that right now. Not Juju. Not Claypool. No one. it was the same when AB was doing the job. Those kinds of guys are really hard to find.

The lack of mobility from their current QB forces them to employ the physical-off-the-line receiver. When the Steelers draft Ben's successor a different approach may be implemented

I would almost guarantee that none of that thought goes into building this roster.

Odds of other team’s QBs becoming the Steelers starting QB next season:

12:1 Derek Carr
15:1 Russell Wilson
16:1 Aaron Rodgers
69:1 Deshaun Watson

I’m not sure what to base this on. Tomlin has never been in the position to need a starting QB other than Ben. We don’t know what his approach would be.

I mean one can only gather from previous signings and roster moves that it would not be surprising. There are endless positions where players have stayed on this roster long past their due. Not saying they wouldn’t address it, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they rolled with the three that are on the current roster.

Obviously, Aaron Rodgers at the Steelers would be great for Pittsburg and great for the league creating an instant SB contender. I hope it happens.

And to better that we could draft OL and CB with our first 2 picks, filling what I see as our top 2 needs!

[Mojouw]

Rodgers is under contract to a SB contender.

Also, if you trade for Rodgers (assuming he’s actually available), your not addressing squat in the draft with high picks. You’re gonna have to part with a bushel of 1st through 3rd round picks to get the guy on your roster.

If Rodgers becomes a Steeler, he better like the right now roster because significant reinforcements likely aren’t coming.

You bring Rodgers to the Steelers and now you've got one of the top organizations in the NFL with a highest level QB. What's not too like?

If Rodgers was quarterbacking this team in 2021, the Steelers would be a Super Bowl favorite. Sure the o-line needs work, but IMO, Ben makes that o-line look a lot worse than it is with his immobility.

yeah, Ben and this young o line are not a good pairing. I’m sure the Steelers FO knew it, but with Pouncey retiring, AV declining and DeCastro getting hurt, seems they had little choice in the outcome. I only prefer that they kept Feiler and drafted Humphrey

Sure. And he (Rodgers) has that in Green Bay right now. The Packers have roster holes and a pending cap situation. The Steelers have roster holes and with Rodgers would be facing a draft pick deficit for several years.

All I am saying is that the Steelers are not without their warts even with Rodgers on the roster. It wouldn't be like the Bucs getting Brady or the Broncos getting Manning. The cost in draft picks would hinder the ability to patch holes.

But Rodgers clearly does not like the management in Green Bay. He went to the NFCCG last year and still wanted out. But if he stays in GB, there are other options. Wilson may want out of Seattle. He would be a much better acquisition. On the lesser end, potential only, I'd look at Jordan Love. I think he's a better talent than all of this year's QBs coming out.

There's going to be significant cost to any legit QB they sign. And that will limit the holes they can fill. But, a franchise QB is worth the expense.

Well, I'm not going to piss on GB but they aren't the Steelers.

I'd take my chances. With Rodgers suddenly every time you break the huddle you know you have a shot.

[Dwinsgames]

all this A Rod talk is beyond silly when you look and see he isnt an URFA until 2024 at that point he would be 39 pushing 40 .....

Doh, i was thinking he would be a FA next year, forgot he was still under contract.

Rodgers is in a place he doesn’t want to be. According to most people here, a “competent QB” gets this team deep into the playoffs. Arguably the same distance as the Packers would get.

He’s able to opt out and force a trade next season if he wants to. That was part of his deal.

[BlackAndGold]

If no best case scenario happens, which is Rodgers coming to Pittsburgh


Could we see this?


Steelers 2022 starting QB, Mitch Trubisky.

I believe this is the agreement as well per sources like Schefter.
