I have a feeling folks are going to be disappointed with the lack of fireworks from Rodgers and Pittsburgh. I expect Tomlin to capture another winning season and then an early exit from the playoffs by the Steelers. Rodgers should have a solid season.

Ok, see you in mid-September. Maybe.

You could always put on pants, you know. No one’s forcing you to wear shorts all the time. It’s an option, I’m just sayin.

Here in Minnesota people aren’t allowed to wear shorts, because all the white legs are a danger to drivers. I always wear sunglasses when driving for this very reason.

No idea why the Steelers declined to even take a 4th-round flier on Shedeur but are pinning their hopes on a washed Rodgers. But I guess they know better than I do.

Reportedly the interviews did not go well and even if they had drafted him they would still have pursued Rodgers for this season anyway

Some interesting reports from here in CLE. He just got a second speeding ticket; this one in excess of 100 mph. Mostly, I dismiss this as "young & dumb" as we all were at some point. The fact that it's the second one concerns me a little. In camp, they say he's shown good throwing skills -- right touch & accuracy. They also say he's leaning standard NFL QB stuff like calling plays & adjusting blocking schemes, a bit of a learning curve there. I've heard proponents trash the coach/FO for "stubbornness" despite having no real inside knowledge, which drives me nuts. From what I can tell, they are duplicating the reps, side by side, so they can get lots for everyone. So far, it looks like he has some skills, but also has the farthest to go. I'm as certain as I can be that this stuff will sort itself out during training camp.

Rodgers appears to have a good attitude about the situation to end his career. He's bringing a bit of a California mindset with him to Pittsburgh.

Before my rookie draft started (and before Rodgers actually signed), I offered a 3rd round pick (2025) and it was accepted. I was/am deperate with a QB room of Flacco, Cousins and Richardson.

I think a 3rd is fair enough; but I'd recommend owners just hold him as I think that's pretty much the floor of his value in SF outside the chance he gets injured. Whereas I think there are lots of scenarios where you can get more than a 3rd for him during the season when an owner loses one of their QBs to injury and/or if he's putting up high end QB2 numbers with the Steelers. I don't think you're ever getting a 1st or anything crazy, but I'd rather maximize value on him and just keep him on my roster potentially helping my team in the meantime.
While I wouldn't right now, I'd gladly pay someone a 2nd+ for a QB scoring week to week in the top 18 in a SF league that could help me win a ship if the need arises.

lol - that’s rough, but collective bargaining isn’t for everyone. Still an interesting anecdote. Doesn’t really speak to who he is on the field, but for someone his age it’s a little immature behavior if true.
