Is Aaron Rodgers playing to an ‘average’ level? What about slightly above? It doesn’t seem like the NFL writers want to give him much credit for the Steelers’ 4-2 start. Is Tyler Shough a similar level QB right now? The guys think Shough provides a bit of a challenge to the Steelers because he’s not afraid to wing it a bit, which also leads to some turnovers. We joked about Shough being in college for about a decade – he’s actually the same age as Patrick Queen. Why is Kirk Cousins getting so much more love than Rodgers? Would you take Shough as the Steelers QB for the next 4 years?
Steve Palazzolo from the 33rd Team joined the show. Steve thinks Brian Thomas Jr. could turn into a trade chip for the Jags despite the team doing well overall. Steve doesn’t believe the trade price on Thomas would be a ton. Steve thinks the Quenton Nelson idea is very attractive, but it’s a rental player. Steve said an elite guard would make a bigger impact than you would expect and the Steelers could probably afford to overpay once the player hits the market. Steve expected Aaron Rodgers to look as bad as he did in the first 3 quarters of the game last Sunday, but had to eat his words a little bit for late in the game. Steve couldn’t believe the Steelers end-of-game clock management. Steve said the Steelers should have forced Jalon Daniels to go down the field and score a touchdown. When it comes to the potential 1st round QBs in 2027, Steve said there are warts on every prospect.
