PITTSBURGH (AP) — Aaron Rodgers doesn’t need to keep doing this. He knows that.
The four-time NFL MVP’s decision to return for a 21st season and to do it in Pittsburgh was not about trying to prove something to himself, the New York Jets or anyone else.
The game has given a lot to him. Stardom. Wealth. A title. Relationships that will last long after he decides to stop playing. The next seven months — if they are indeed the last seven months of a career that almost certainly will end with a gold jacket and a bust in the Hall of Fame — are about trying to pay it forward while finding peace in the process.
My best guess as to why they signed Rodgers, is to generate a losing record, as a pretense to fire Mike Tomlin
I love this conspiracy theory.
Just think about it man! [Pacing briskly back and forth in the Wendy’s lobby]
But seriously. If you as an owner of an NFL franchise (or GM. Not my team, idk who made the decision) fell out of love with your HC and staff, can you think of a better free agent to metastatise in your locker room? He’s still a legit QB, so you’d have plausible deniability while blame shifting to the coach.
Love this lol
LOL, Rodgers has managed to gaslight himself into thinking Pittsburgh actually wanted him rather than scraping his bum ass off the scrap heap.
It figures that he’s QAnon.
The man in the hat told him so.
