Aaron Rodgers??

Despite him being old AF, more and more talk about Steelers as a possible landing spot.

Imagine the cantankerous A.R. meeting the offensive mentality of Tomlin...
And then the huge down and distance in-game calls and insuing implosions when the calls come in thru the helmet radio.

But a classic grumpy and pissed A.R. press conference after a Tomlin trampling on prime time...May be exactly what will sink T.

I doubt it, Rodgers would just be written off by the media as an arrogant, racist malcontent. He's certainly an arrogant malcontent, so it wouldn't be too hard to call his motives into question when he dare criticize St. Tomlin.

Didn’t Rodgers and Tomlin have a mutual love-fest a couple of years ago? I seem to remember they spoke glowingly about each other.

Of course, that was when Rodgers was looking for a place to land, before the Jets trade.

Also, his options will be limited. I don’t know what the contract situation is, but if the Jets end up cutting him the Steelers will absolutely sniff it out. They can pay him the league minimum (the Jets will pick up the bulk) and the Steelers will have a completely new QB room for the 3rd straight year!

It will take an old dog like AR that DGAF at this point to be able to push back against the bullshit from Coach Mike and Art the Dope.

I would LOVE to see it. Can't be any worse than Russ Wilson.

Very true. On the other hand, if Rodgers makes legitimate, pointed criticisms of our neanderthal offense it would be difficult to ignore.

He's a known malcontent. Despite Tomlin's apparent man-crush, I'm pretty sure he's not risking a William Wallace-situation with control of the offense.

Rodgers and Tomlin are perfect for each other - both are arrogant AF and have an inflated notion of their own intelligence.

This season AR did his stupid hat tip to Tomlin bc he almost caught him with 12 men on the field. Tomlin returned the same gesture
