1. There are intangibles, of course

I would sooner have Steve Young as QB of my team than Rodgers.

MUCH. LESS. DRAMA.

2. That's why he's having trouble finding a team.

Vikings have taken a pass on him. Not sure if the Steelers will take him or not.

3 Packers QBs make the list: Bart Starr, Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers. We are spoiled.

3. Will be interesting to see how much he signs for, if he can find a taker

He might not have anything left, and he's not going to agree to play for a few million bucks.

4. Aaron Rodgers' Odds to Join Steelers Take Interesting Turn

Aaron Rodgers visited Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers on Friday, departing from the Steel City without a contract. The four-time NFL MVP quarterback’s thought process remains a mystery, but news of the meeting has forecasters believing a partnership is indeed in the cards for Rodgers and the Steelers.

The Steelers have offered Rodgers a deal, reportedly lower than the New York Giants’. Rodgers was thought to be holding out to see if the Minnesota Vikings are interested, but they will be moving forward with J.J. McCarthy as their guy. “Aaron Rodger’s odds to join the Steelers have shot up to 75% in the last TEN MINUTES,” Polymarket Sports wrote Friday afternoon on X. “Is Pittsburgh the next stop for Aaron Ayahuasca?”

The Giants remain another option for Rodgers. Big Blue added former No. 1 overall draft pick Jameis Winston on Friday night, signing him to a two-year, $8 million deal. The Steelers also have a contingency plan, it seems, in Mason Rudolph, who returned to Pittsburgh after a season-long sabbatical with the Tennessee Titans in 2024.

Steelers leader and All-Pro defensive tackle Cam Heyward is fed up with waiting for Rodgers’ verdict. He addressed the wait earlier this week on his podcast, “Not Just Football.” “I ain’t doing that darkness retreat. I don’t need any of that crap,” Heyward said. “Either you want to be a Pittsburgh Steeler or you don’t. That’s simple, that’s the pitch. If you want me to recruit, that’s the recruiting pitch. Pittsburgh Steelers – if you want to be part of it, so be it. If you don’t, no skin off my back.”

5. Good for Heyward for speaking up

I'm sure he's far from alone in feeling that way!

6. I loved Bart Starr when I was a kid

These days, when I hear the name Favre, I think dick-pic scandal, welfare scandal. When I hear Aaron Rodgers, I think conspiracies and drama. I miss the days when all I knew about sports figures was sports related.

7. Otto Graham should be in Top Ten.

[milestogo]

8. Sounds like it.

Graham accomplished a lot during his career, with winning being at the forefront of his accomplishments. Graham (who is widely considered to be the best QB in history prior to Johnny Unitas) won seven championships that included three NFL titles. He went 9-3 in the postseason and played for a title in each of his 10 seasons with the Browns. Graham won 81.3% of his starts, the highest percentage of any QB in history with at least 1,500 pass attempts.

9. Yes, He's Too Low

His stats are amazing considering offenses were so run oriented & the passing game accented longer routes in those days.
Another one who is way too low is Warren Moon. He threw for almost 50,000 yards and spent 6 years lighting up the CFL.
His TD to INT ratio isn't great, but neither was Unitas' number by today's standards.
And, Warren had a cannon for an arm!

10. I think Drew Brees and Mahomes should be higher than Elway
