I'll take a bet on the Steelers getting 11 wins and a playoff win this year. I like the move.

Anthony Richardson has apparently hurt his throwing shoulder, and won’t be doing Camp.
Meaning the Colts might, completely unironically, start Danny Derps.
So, is it too early to call Richardson a bust?

I now really want DJ to have a Vikings Sam
Darnold style breakout season, take the Colts to the playoffs, and end up getting franchise QB money somewhere next season to just completely revert to the mean like Darnold is this year.

Has he been humbled at all? AR
He did not have the maturity to be an NFL starter, let alone franchise QB. The Colts' locker room has been a dumpsterfire since at least Reich and rather than change the culture, Richardson perpetuated it. I think the bigger question is does Carlie Irsay intend to run a competent club or just wear gold cleats and a headset on the sideline.
She's gonna be the one to determine the team's future imo. Jim had a baffling loyalty to Chris Ballard.

Looks like he's gonna be one of those boom or bust QBs that always never pan out (Josh Allen being the exception) that hang around the league 8-10 years longer then they should due to teams falling in love with their elite physical tools.

He is entering year three without anything to show for his career thus far, and as of right now it looks like he'll have nothing to show for it at the conclusion of his third season as a pro. Poor stats, multiple injuries. I know everyone wants to give a QB time to develop and have a team built around him, but at some point you have had enough time to start being the prospect everyone thought you would be.
The biggest asset he had was having the media on his side, but he caused them all to turn on him last year when he infamously pulled himself out of the Texans game. Stroud won the media over with his rookie season and Young won the media over last year by showing more resilience with his second season. Richardson no longer has to be the token QB from the 2023 Draft Class that the media has to prop up and fawn over, they found what they wanted in the other two first round picks so know Richardson is going to be the guy that gets paraded around as the bust of the group.

Pat McAfee repeatedly hammering on that was the canary in the coalmine. I know some people have conflicting opinions on Pat. Rightfully so. He loved Jim Irsay and never went to town on the Colts because of that, but he's always heavily implied the Colts locker room being a clownshow in recent years. Along with how disgraceful it was for Anthony Richardson to tap out.
I guess you could call a QB never exiting a game without being hurt a false platitude, but that shit was bizarre. A QB represents the team like no other position in any other sport, and Richardson didn't even have the common sense to lie that he tweaked a muscle? Plus, the nigga already has one segment where he said college was easier than the NFL. It's a shame they don't do the Wonderlic test at the combine anymore because this dude would have scored a 5.

Interesting question for people who do not cheer for the colts or the steelers. Which position would you rather be in, the Colts position or the Steelers?

Colts, Danny Dimes sucks, but it's not like
it's impossible for him to improve. Rodgers is completely washed, and anyone who watched him play last year should know there's absolutely no reason to believe he won't play as bad or worse than that this year.

The only way this isn't a total dumpster fire is if, by some act of God, they got him for Cheap.
I sincerely doubt they got Aaron Rodgers for cheap, meaning best case scenario - first losing record under Tomlin, and the Steelers actually have a high draft pick for the first time in God only knows how long.
That said, The Standard is The Standard. They'll get to 9-8 and a Wildcard Blowout kicking and screaming...

This is what ESPN said:
"Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers was in the team’s training facility today to sign his one-year, $13.65 million contract that includes $10 million guaranteed and has a maximum value of $19.5 million. The deal includes $5.85 million worth of playtime and team performance incentives."

20 million max is dirt cheap TBH. As someone who is still a fan of A-Rod, I choose to believe he'll enter the DMT realm and leave with the ability to slaughter his way to the Super Bowl where he'll inevitably be defeated by Green Bay.

Eh, Anthony Richardson sucks with the throwing part, but at least he can run. JaNiggus Russell was a different level of abysmal that only Al Davis could conjure.

I say they run with Danny Derps and Tank.
I agree with the hope that Danny pulls a Darnold and just thrives with the Colts. Partly because it’d be a nice feel good story, mostly because at that point we can all agree that New York is cursed when it comes to football.

They are both in very odd situations. The Colts seem to be able to form some talent but are constantly underperforming. Mostly because they can't figure out the QB situation. Steelers can't figure anything out but are somehow getting by. Steelers are capable of making the playoffs but can't win in them. Colts are capable of being able to compete for the playoffs but never actually are able to punch their ticket in.
I feel the Colts are at least trying to do their best and have some of the competency needed to build a successful franchise. It is just running into the last bit of luck (yes, ironic I know) that is needed to propel their team forward. The Steelers I have no idea what they are doing anymore. I would rather be in the Colts situation because it does feel like there is a stronger possibility of them eventually succeeding. The future looks a little brighter on their end. Until the Steelers kick Tomlin and allow their franchise to evolve with the times there is no possibility that things get better for them.
