Ok this Rodgers BS

[Gonzo]

i think rodgers is indeed a waiting to see if other options open up - why wouldn’t he. and/or he has some health issue that he is waiting or thinking on.

more likely he is using the latter to justify the former

[gojira5150]

Tomlin left the path of reason when he benched Justin Fields, 25 year old running QB, just starting to win games and find his groove.

Why do people keep saying this? Fields wasn't "finding his groove." Fields had two horrible games against the Cowboys and Raiders before he got benched.

You do realize that the Cowgirls game was not on JF. He had this team in a position to win that game. Then Jibbas overrated D craped the bed again and let Dak march them 90 yards (I believe it was 90yds, could have been 80yds) for a game winning TD. Not JF's fault.

Rodgers will return to hobby football once he makes archeology great again.

He needs to read about the Bronze Age Collapse though.

The game where Fields threw for 130 yards and his offense put up a whopping 17 points? Defense shit the bed, but Fields was benched because he wasn't lighting the world on fire.

When the defense holds any offense to 20 points or less and the team loses, it is on the offense.

[Dan Smith--BYU]

Maybe Rodgers passionate interest in archaeology explains his interest in playing in Tomlin's archaic offense.

Which reportedly was effective against Carthage.

Exactly. A team with a competent QB wins that Cowboys game easily. The Cowboys' defense was an injury-riddled mess but the offense couldn't do a thing. Fields absolutely owns a big chunk of that loss.

[Gonzo]

You are pretending that this offense tries to, or is designed to, score over 20

[Louis Lipps Service]

Has there ever been a Steelers QB who has gotten booed while lining up for his first ever snap in a Steelers uniform?

Cause Rodger might end up being the first.

Only other guy I can think of that might have reached this level of fan disdain before playing a single game is Michael Vick.

[Gonzo]

if it does happen i would like to now what steelers decision makers thought this was a good idea - not just rodgers but the eternal wait

[steelmann58]

Can you imagine him throwing his first int at home this guy will be booed mercilessly and I be loving it

[W&M_Steeler]

You didn’t address the main point of my post, which is that chasing 42 year old Rodgers is a mistake along the same line as Wilson. We should start Mason Rudolph and see if we have a long term QB in Will Howard.

I agree with you on this from a football perspective, and I think about 95% of Steelers' fan base does too. Maybe I am being too much of a homer, but Howard intrigues me.

My only interest in seeing Rodgers here would for off-field stuff. I think there's a chance he exposes Tomlin and staff as a bunch of offensively incompetent burn-outs just going through the motions. It will also be funny to see him clash publicly with company men Heyward and Watt.

I had some interest in Rodgers saying crazy shit about Tomlin too once the wheels fall off (and they would have) but now Rodgers is looked upon, by really most right and left wing folks, as a crazy motherfucker so if anything, Rodger criticizing Tomlin would probably work in Cool Shades' favor.

I don't think Rodgers is coming anyway. He's gaining too much traction as a conspiracy theorist and soon he'll have a very popular podcast of his own.

I think dude is done playing football.

You're probably right about that. The media would definitely side with Tomlin, and a NHALS-ending Rodgers circus would be blamed on Rodgers, not Tomlin.

I hope Rodgers is finished with football. I really doubt Rodgers has a Brady in Tampa season in him. He'll probably be more like Namath on the Rams. I have no interest in watching the team with Rodgers. At least watching Mason / Howard will be interesting to see if they have potential.

He needs to read about the Bronze Age Collapse though.

This is fuckin' funny. It's turning into the meme about men always thinking about Rome, except deeper.

Bronze-age collapse - multiple disasters displacing people, climate change causing droughts leading to famine and MORE displacement... There are so many small reasons for it that all rolled together just sucked to be alive and civilized at that time. I've had so many conversations on this.

[steelmann58]

As this goes the Steelers have sunken even father down imo

If you want to start a rabbit hole thread on the off topic board about this and related topics like prehistoric floods and lost civilizations, I am game because its become an obsessive hobby of mine.

Who were the sea peoples?

I'm guessing its that an epidemic in combination.

[CKSteeler]

Who were the sea peoples?

My favorite theory on the Sea Peoples is that they were from Sardinia. At least some of them.

[Dan Smith--BYU]

So what's your theory of Goblecki Tepe?

That pretty much destroys everything we thought about the early Neolithic and the dawn of civilization.

And don't even get me started on megafloods.

[CKSteeler]

I believe the ancient world was far more advanced and interconnected at a minimum than is given credit for. I don't know if there was a mother civilization or not, but at a minimum I think they were far ahead of what was thought and timelines will only continue to be pushed backwards.

The ancient Egyptians were trading with Australians. It's not that farfetch to think they made it to the Americas.

[bradshaw2ben]

I wish Fingerprints of the Gods were better researched and more supported, because there might be a smidge of interesting stuff in there if it weren't so deeply flawed from an academic standpoint.

[Dan Smith--BYU]

I don't agree with everything coming from Graham Hancock and Randall Carlson but establishment archeology and anthropology is stubborn to adapt to new evidence. For years they denied megafloods simply because religions wrote about them but it turns out there is massive and rather obvious evidence of extreme flooding especially during meltwater 1b. And you can't just dismiss Gobeckli Tepe and the new pyramids findings.

it's stunning to me that the account of Atlantis' destruction written by Plato through his great great uncle Solon from the Egyptians perfectly matches in time (11700 years ago).

We've been around 300K years. It's far easier to believe that there was some kind of lost advanced civilization during the previous interglacial (115K-130K years ago) than they were just sitting around caves waiting to be eaten and no bright minds ever tried made things better.

I am absolutely convinced that the Kailasa temple in India is evidence of advance excavation equipment and motors as early as 600 AD. We know the Greeks had invented a primitive steam rotor.

There is also a massive structure under the front end of the sphynx, that was discovered in the early 90s using ground penetrating radar, iirc. Of course, 30+ years later- and zip has been done

[anpsteel]

Hancock and Carlson are speculating, but at least they are engaging the reality, that the evidence doesn’t match what we’ve been taught

At all

And there in lies the “issue” imo

The Egyptian Archeological Society blocks all efforts to find out what is really there

And why is that? I’m sure they could get quite a bit of money for real access

So I’m guessing the evidence would show that all the things we’ve been taught, are incorrect, specifically religion.

Who’s paying them to keep it quite is a more interesting question

[CKSteeler]

I haven't read his books, just watched the TV show. But he's not an academic. He's a journalist with all that implies.

He doesn't claim to have all the answers, but the main thrust of his argument - that archaeology is missing a lot of shit - is fundamentally correct to me.

Also, I'm not that impressed with the level of research that the so-called academics are putting out. Flint Dibble or whatever his name was lied and mislead viewers during their debate. Intentionally. I've never seen that from Graham for whatever faults he has. Mr. Kingshit of Egyptian cultural history was even more laughable than Dibble when he went on Rogan. Didn't even begin to make sense and couldn't say anything beyond look in his book (which isn't exactly some scholarly masterpiece).

Carlson is a different animal. I don't agree with all of his theories, but the man has educated himself quite a bit and is pretty immersed in the latest research on the shit he talks about. His main argument, that there was rapid and apocalyptic flooding is pretty convincing to me.

So Rodgers has time to go on Rogan, but personal issues are still keeping him from signing???

FTFY. When the crappy HC hamstrings the QB, what do you want JF to do. Can't audible, no throws MOF, running a slow RB into a stacked line etc etc.

I LOVE this topic. Gobekli Tepe was in the same area/location where Noah's Ark may have landed (I believe it did land in Turkey). Hmmmm, makes you think.
