Steelers’ fans salivate over Aaron Rodgers, Matthew Stafford at QB: Real or get real?
from Steelers Breakdown from PennLive.com · host PennLive
Aaron Rodgers, Matthew Stafford, Dwayne Haskins: Visions of new starting quarterbacks in Pittsburgh are dancing in the heads of Steelers fans. So what’s football fact and what is fan fantasy? Rodgers is fresh from being vanquished from the playoffs by Tom Brady (with his new team). Worse, Rodgers remains miffed the Packers drafted a quarterback instead of a receiver in the first round of 2020’s draft. Now, he’s openly debating his uncertain future in Green Bay, saying: “A lot of guys’ futures, they’re uncertain. Myself included.” With that, the memes imagining Rodgers in black and gold, instead of green and yellow, went into overdrive in Pittsburgh. And that’s not all. Matthew Stafford is out in Detroit, and top NFL reporter Peter King says one of Stafford’s top landing spots could be Pittsburgh. (The Indy Colts may have something to say about that.) Either QB would make the Steelers instant 2021 Super Bowl contenders, stoking all the spirited speculation in the ‘Burgh, long a hotbed for quarterback controversy. The Steelers are linked to several top tier quarterbacks in the 2021 draft, to boot. All this has Steelers fans expecting a new face behind center. We explore all the possibilities, plus a stormy exit interview scandal involving defensive star, T.J. Watt. Did he bolt Pittsburgh in anger, or sit for all his required team interview before heading off to Wisconsin for the off-season? You decide which big-name Steelers’ reporter to believe. I have it all in this re-building edition of the Steelers Update Podcast. So listen up, Steelers’ fans. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. Learn more about your ad choices.
