ESPN’s Marcus Spears rips any team waiting on Aaron Rodgers: ‘Dumb as rocks’

It seems that 1 squad whitethorn still beryllium waiting connected 41-year-old Aaron Rodgers to motion pinch them.

And that squad is not precisely nan sharpest instrumentality successful nan shed, arsenic acold arsenic ESPN’s Marcus Spears is concerned.

“I deliberation you are dumb arsenic a container of rocks if you’re waiting connected Aaron Rodgers,” Spears said up of nan first information NFL draught connected Thursday night. “Any statement successful nan NFL, you are dumb arsenic a container of rocks if you hold for Aaron Rodgers to show you if he’s going to play football.”

The Pittsburgh Steelers, who person been heavy rumored to beryllium Rodgers’ early home, seemed to beryllium done pinch nan waiting crippled up of nan draft.

“I’m told nan Steelers communicated pinch Aaron Rodgers astatine nan opening of nan week that they would for illustration to person an reply from him earlier nan Draft (at slightest 48 hours), per convention source,” NFL Insider Josina Anderson reported aft nan first information of nan draft.

Well, Pittsburgh shockingly passed connected some Shedeur Sanders and Jaxson Dart pinch nan No. 21 prime successful nan first information and alternatively drafted a protect lineman.

So possibly nan Steelers did successful truth get a determination from Rodgers anterior to nan draft? Potentially a backstage committedness to Pittsburgh?

With Mason Rudolph and Skylar Thompson being the only existent quarterbacks connected nan Steelers’ roster — nan position surely could person been prioritized successful Round 1.

And pinch Sanders and Dart still connected nan committee for Pittsburgh’s first information prime Thursday, it could person been nan cleanable clip to reside those needs — yet, nan Steelers unexpectedly took Oregon protect lineman Derrick Harmon. 

Now, barring immoderate trade, they do not person different draught prime until nan 3rd information astatine prime No. 83.

While Sanders is still connected nan committee for a imaginable trade-up to get him, it seems much and much apt that Pittsburgh is doing precisely what Spears believes they should not be: waiting connected Rodgers.

If that’s nan case, Spears doesn’t spot a world wherever nan move would elevate nan Steelers much.

“When we went done each of this pinch nan New York Jets, nan speech was that [Rodgers] would make them Super Bowl contenders,” Spears said.

“Aaron Rodgers successful Pittsburgh will not put them successful nan Super Bowl.”
