Smith likes to take the air out of the ball ...

I thought it was Brady who like to deflate the ball.

Either way, if Rodgers is smart, he will imitate Brady in his late years as much as possible.

His stats show he didn't have a big ADOT (avg depth of target) or ANY/A which basically means he was probably throwing a lot of screens and checkdowns. His numbers (and his play) got a little better after Davante was there for a few games, but it was too little too late. Rodgers' arm is fine, it's his legs and his head that are the problem. He won't just chuck it deep often (to protect that Int% record) and the NYJ OL was not good. He doesn't have the mobility to buy a lot of time and freelance like he used to. That was one of his greatest assets. PIT's OL wasn't great last year but I think they are improving and better than NYJ's. Still, I think Arthur Smith is going to have his hands full with Rodgers. It's probably not 100% true, but I feel like Smith likes to take the air out of the ball and Rodgers is going to want to audible out of stuff.

Let's just say I'm not optimistic Rodgers is going to make the Pro Bowl. Also, the AFCN is no cake walk. Burrow v Rodgers should be fun to watch though.

Pittsburgh's going to lead the league in using-your-timeouts-early and delay of game penalties.

An article on a Steelers website stated that in 2024 Rodgers was 25/63 on throws targeted at 20 yards or more. Two things stand out: the completion percentage is very poor and the number of deep targets relative to overall passing attempts was quite low.

Also, contrary to what his history was in GB, he got the ball out quickly. Of 584 attempts, 363 were thrown in 2.5 seconds or less. He did not hold onto the ball like he did with the Packers where year after year his average time from snap to release was among the longest, if not the very longest.

It was also remarked that Rodgers seemed to show the effects of every sack.

Like most old QBs, as someone said, he is a QB you can win with, not one you win because of.

hahahahaha I wish.

All my daughters are solidly married. I wouldn't mind at all, though, if any of them married somebody that rich.

A very artful reply. Notice that Tex does not outright deny my theory - he skirts around it. He wishes? That doesn't mean his wish hasn't come true. All daughters solidly married? Sure - and maybe one is married to Rodgers. AND he wouldn't miond if any of them married somebody that rich? He's not saying one of them didn't . . .

We're on to you, Tex. You're Rodgers's father-in-law. We'll see if you post any references in the future to traveling to Pittsburgh . . .

Sadly, I flip burgers, so it’s extremely difficult to find a bride - can’t even afford a mail-order bride from the Philippines, a la Tex. (Joking,Tex. You’re a stud.) Ain’t ever wed, so don’t know what weddings are like. Odds are good, I am gonna perish without offspring.

But I reckon, in these fast times of social media, wedding pics are all over cyberspace. Not a single pic of Butte and “Britani” at their wedding can be found. Butte’s family thinks Britani is a figment of Butte’s imagination.

It’s possible Butte got married overseas and he’s good at keeping his private life private. It’s also possible Butte’s crazy.

Given Tex's love and respect for Rodgers, my theory is that Tex introduced Aaron to his and his wife's daughter. Tex is actually now Rodgers's father-in-law, but Tex is a private guy so he told Aaron to keep things on the down low.

And that's just a fragment of my imagination. Not a figment.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

What’s the difference between fragment and figment?

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Time will tell.

I'm curious about what his attitude will be for the Steelers in camp. Will his newfound newlywed status help him be a bigger, better person to everyone, remind him that he needs to support and be a part of the bigger picture?

Not that I think it'll really matter in terms of the season. At this point, he's an old QB in a league where, once you lose your legs, you become increasingly ineffective.

Any proof that Butte’s marriage is real? Family ain’t convinced.

[MadtownPacker]

Tried that and it didn’t work. Doesn’t seem like it’s possible from a phone. Need an upgrade to the functionality of this forum.

This should be as easy as point and click.

Maybe you should ask one go your grandkids to show you. The function does work. Are you using the mobile version of the site?

The blond with the clear stripper heels - very relevant.
