Speaker 1: The Pittsburgh Steelers announced that Aaron Rodgers will be under
Speaker 1: center for the team this season. The news comes more
Speaker 1: than eighty days since the start a free agency in
Speaker 1: seventy days after Rogers visited the team. According to ESPN's
Speaker 1: Adam Schefter, Rogers plans to fly to Pittsburgh on Friday
Speaker 1: and join the Steelers ahead of next week's mandatory mini camp. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm ecstatic because I'm a lifelong Steelers fan. Let me
Speaker 1: be very very clear. I'm ectated because you ain't have
Speaker 1: no damn quarterback. I know Aaron Rodgers wasn't great last year.
Speaker 1: I know he hasn't been great over the last several years. Okay,
Speaker 1: but the bottom line is this is one of the
Speaker 1: greatest quarterbacks who have ever played the game. On his
Speaker 1: worst day, he's better than an average quarterback. And when
Speaker 1: you look at the Steelers quarterback room of Mason Rudolph
Speaker 1: Skyla Thompson, and Will Howard, who you'd just drafted out
Speaker 1: of Ohio State, you damn right, they desperately needed Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1: So guess what, even with what they had in the
Speaker 1: locker room, you still have Russell Wilson and Justin Fields
Speaker 1: last year. He could be an upgrade from both of
Speaker 1: those dudes, which means that Aaron Rodgers would be the
Speaker 1: best quarterback that the Pittsburgh steel has had in this
Speaker 1: stable over the last several years, and in the same
Speaker 1: division as Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson. I'll be damned.
Speaker 1: I'll be damned if I'm gonna be mad about that. Now,
Speaker 1: let me tell you for the record, what is gonna
Speaker 1: piss me off if this is true. If that damn
Speaker 1: Shadoor Sanders, who dropped to the fifth round and a
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty fourth overall pick, ends up being
Speaker 1: better this season, assuming he's gonna get the QB one spot,
Speaker 1: and I don't know that's gonna happen, okay, because you
Speaker 1: got a quarterback that they drafted a couple of quarterbacks, okay,
Speaker 1: and they already had quarterbacks in this stable in Cleveland.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, if Shador Sanders wins this
Speaker 1: job and he's the start quarterback for the Cleveland Browns
Speaker 1: and he goes out there and balls, I am going
Speaker 1: to be pissed because the Steelers could have drafted him.
Speaker 1: And I believe that Oman Khan and Mike Tomlin would
Speaker 1: have drafted him if ownership didn't influence their decision. Now
Speaker 1: I don't have any proof of this, but I'm telling
Speaker 1: you everything that I was hearing about the draft and
Speaker 1: what happened to Shador Sanders, the willingness to let him
Speaker 1: slide all the way to the fifth round of the
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty fourth overall pick, where about six
Speaker 1: different quarterbacks were selected before him that came from the
Speaker 1: top of several franchises. I don't know why. I'm wondering why.
Speaker 1: One day, I'm gonna find out why sooner than later.
Speaker 1: But for this moment, all I'm gonna say is, I'm
Speaker 1: happy with Amy Rodgers being a stealer. I accept the
Speaker 1: fact that Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson's gonna be better
Speaker 1: than him, because they're better than almost everybody outside of
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and obviously Josh Allen. But I'm telling you
Speaker 1: right now, Shador Sanders better not end up being a
Speaker 1: better quarterback this season than anybody to stealer have, including
Speaker 1: Amar Rodgers. I'm gonna be apoplectic if that happens, and
Speaker 1: I'll leave y'all on that note. That tip of this
Speaker 1: distin
