The Pittsburgh Steelers have a brand new quarterback in all-time great Aaron Rodgers. But some do not know exactly what to expect from the 41-year-old field general.
One former Steeler thinks the team could resort to drastic measures if things are not going according to plan.
On a recent episode of Nightcap, franchise legend James Harrison said that the team should think about cutting Rodgers and giving some opportunities to their other guys if things are not going well around midseason.
“I think they can make it work if they’re winning,” Harrison said, “If they start losing and it’s looking like they’re not gonna make above .500, I think it gets real ugly, real fast. To the point where they may just be like, ‘you know what, let’s let this dude go midseason. For Aaron, let’s just get him outta here and put one of these other quarterbacks in.'”
Rodgers had one of the more disappointing years of his career this past season with the New York Jets. As a result, some have questioned if he still has it, but his stats were not as bad as one would expect.
He still racked up 3,897 passing yards and 28 touchdowns on 63 percent completion. He did have 11 interceptions, but that was still not too bad compared to the rest of the league.
Rodgers has stated that the 2025 season may very well be his last season in the league, so he will be looking to prove the doubters wrong and leave his mark with the legendary AFC North franchise.
