On April 20th, Steelers fans, Aaron Rogers is still stringing Pittsburgh along with no word on his future, just three days before the NFL draft kicks, all on April 2005. Team President Art Rooney, the second, promised clarity by draft time back on March 31st. But here we are, pick number 21 Looming, and they're still in the dark. Rogers pulled this last year too, waiting till June for a one year deal. This mess highlights Pittsburgh's decade-long rut of non-losing seasons and first-round playoff flops. No postseason win since 2016, zero and six cents, getting outscored by 87 points total. Post-Bin Rathasberger is been a quarterback merry-go-round with Kenny Pickett, Mr. Biske, Mason Rudolph, Russell Wilson, Justin Fields, and now Rogers zero and three in playoffs, down 52 points combined. Rogers ain't the savior anymore, ranking 31st and 1st downs per attempt, 27th and yards per attempt, and throwing shorter and.

Quicker than almost everyone last season, sure, peak Rogers was elite, but that guy's been gone half a decade, limited mobility, and all. Now with Mike McCarthy hired, Rogers' old coach, their eyeing draft quarterbacks like Ty Simpson at 21, or Drew Aller in the fourth round, Per, reports, but flying blind hurts roster moves too. If he bales, they could shop vets like TJ Watt or Cameron Hayward for rebuild picks. Bottom line, Steelers got talent but not enough for a Super Bowl run, aging core-wasting time pretending to contend. Time to break the cycle, draft smart, and chase that real summit instead of halfway hangs on Everest. This has been NFL News Today, powered by AI.
