All right, the team that I think is frustrating, and, you know, looking back at all their moves, I’m not like totally down on this.<\/p>\n

Like, you know, I liked how they traded for this receiver in Michael Pittman, but I’m gonna talk about the Steelers, Steelers I’m selling, and it’s really, it’s just the Aaron Rodgers thing.<\/p>\n

It’s like, this is what we’re doing.<\/p>\n

Yeah.<\/p>\n

Like I, I just can’t believe that, that this is just okay.<\/p>\n

Like, that everyone’s just okay with this.<\/p>\n

Like, I just felt like they had a great opportunity to turn a new leaf, and I know they have an older roster, especially on defense, but just maybe turn that new leaf and, okay, this is what we’re doing.<\/p>\n

We’re gonna, you know, eat our vegetables.<\/p>\n

We’re gonna just really reset our team.<\/p>\n

We’re gonna understand that we might not be the best team this year.<\/p>\n

We’re gonna try and be competitive.<\/p>\n

They go with McCarthy, which felt like just such a I don’t wanna say a white flag, but just kind of like a we’re not trying kinda hire.<\/p>\n

A-a-again, nothing against Mike McCarthy, but that just felt like a we have to sign someone that’s one of us, you know, ’cause he’s a Yinzer.<\/p>\n

It’s like, go, bring him on back.<\/p>\n

Okay, cool.<\/p>\n

All right, bring on Mike McCarthy back.<\/p>\n

And then it’s like immediately that it’s like everyone’s just fine with Aaron Rodgers coming back.<\/p>\n

And I have to say this, maybe I like haven’t been so I feel like I’ve been pretty harsh about it.<\/p>\n

Aaron Rodgers was bad last year.<\/p>\n

A-and I, I feel like I’m very like- Right I feel like I’m going crazy that everybody’s going like, “Oh yeah, it’s gonna be fine.<\/p>\n

He’s gonna come back.”<\/p>\n

And Aaron Rodgers come back, but that, that’s great.<\/p>\n

He knows Mike McCarthy’s offense.<\/p>\n

He gets a lot of say in the offenses he had in New York and then in Pittsburgh last year.<\/p>\n

As much as everyone wants to blame Mike Tomlin and Arthur Smith for a quarterback not throwing over the middle and trying stuff down the field, that’s the quarterback not doing that.<\/p>\n

It’s not the offense.<\/p>\n
