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