The Steelers must have tangible growth with Aaron Rodgers to call this a success, but what about a Super Bowl? On ESPN, analyst Booger McFarland suggested that is what Pittsburgh brought him in for. He likened the move to another rather high-profile quarterback signing not so long ago down in Florida.
“Make no mistake about this: they’re not bringing in Aaron Rodgers here to go 9-8”, he said. “They’re not bringing Aaron Rodgers in there to win one playoff game. When you have Minkah Fitzpatrick and Cam Heyward and T.J. Watt, you’re going to get a 41-year-old quarterback, who’s a Hall-of-Fame quarterback, to see if he can have some similar effect that Tom Brady had in Tampa when he took them to a Super Bowl”.
