Will Rodgers return to Pittsburgh?
By: Jake Rajala
Aaron Rodgers may be 42 years old, but he still made the playoffs. The other grumpy old men (Joe Flacco and Philip Rivers) can’t say they went to the playoff gauntlet. He wasn’t as old as Tom Brady when he won his Super Bowl with the Bucs (as he was 43). However, the Ted movie already told us he was pure underneath the blanket.
A-Rod didn’t play like his once MVP self. After all, he looked like he needed a scooter outside the pocket. We also didn’t witness Rodgers throw a game winning hail mary.
With that said, the ultimate question is: Will Rodgers return to Pittsburgh?
With Mike McCarthy coming to the Steel City, I’d love to see Rodgers try and ride off into the sunset with him. Rodgers doesn’t get to have a Top-3 defense or Los Angeles Rams-like weapons. He needs to work with what he can get.
Rodgers has all the time for burning man, hostel surfing, and meditating after his football career. I’d say that Rodgers has the perfect window to win a Super Bowl. Patrick Mahomes can’t thrive in the AFC West, Josh Allen can’t thrive in the playoffs, and Lamar Jackson can’t even reach the playoffs.
Rodgers is a future Hall of Famer, make no mistake. He can retire now, play with Mike McCarthy, or potentially land with a different Super Bowl-caliber roster. He is still one of the best NFL QBs of the 21st century.
