Do the Steelers know that the Rodgers they are getting seems to habitually choose finger-pointing as a way of making himself happy … while still coming away with that familiar “Abysmal Aaron” feeling?<\/div>\n

Aaron Rodgers\u00a0was once assigned the task of leading the\u00a0New York Jets\u00a0with an emphasis on focus and class, putting an end to the building’s gossipy leaks.<\/p>\n

It didn’t work.<\/p>\n

It still isn’t working.<\/p>\n

And the\u00a0Pittsburgh Steelers\u00a0probably need to stay on their toes here.<\/p>\n

The former starting\u00a0quarterback\u00a0of the\u00a0Green Bay Packers\u00a0won four MVPs there and was expected to bring some of the same to New York when he engineered his trade move.<\/p>\n

It didn’t work on the field, as the\u00a0Jets\u00a0last year had him for the entire 17-game schedule and finished 5-12.<\/p>\n

To our eyes and ears, it didn’t work off the field, either \u2014 and new coach Aaron Glenn, in jettisoning the QB off his roster this offseason, obviously agreed.<\/p>\n

Now the future Hall-of-Fame signal-caller is in charge in Pittsburgh, and the Steelers’ hopes are pretty much the same as the Jets’ hopes once were.<\/p>\n

Also similar: The Jets changed most everything to his liking \u2014 and the Steelers have clearly done some of the same to tailor things in an Aaron-friendly way.<\/p>\n

And yet … Aaron keeps gossiping and Aaron keeps leaking.<\/p>\n

As noted by\u00a0Jets X-Factor,\u00a0offensive lineman-turned-media guy Mark Schlereth is saying he recently visited with Rodgers.<\/p>\n

And?<\/p>\n

\u201cAaron and I had a conversation about when he was with the Jets, how abysmal their running game was and how schematically it made no sense,\u201d Schlereth said on the\u00a0“Stinkin\u2019 Truth Podcast.”\u00a0\u201cI started the conversation, and then Aaron went on for about a 25-minute diatribe on just their run game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yeah, but …<\/p>\n

The entire “scheme” was all about Rodgers, right down to the offensive coordinator and play-caller being his personal pal.<\/p>\n

What so the Steelers think they are getting here? A lock\u00a0Hall-of-Famer who has the intellect to overcome his faded physical skills at age 41.<\/p>\n

What they need to recognize they are not getting? A guy who when the going gets tough … seems to habitually choose finger-pointing as a way of making himself happy … while still coming away with that familiar “Abysmal Aaron” feeling.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
