Are the Steelers a playoff contender now? How long does Rodgers last? Vegas for sure has prop bets on this... what comes first, Rodgers out from an injury or being a jerk and wants to sit out?

I don't think Rodgers will sit out. He knows his legacy is on the line. The injury question is completely unknown, but if there is an issue it will be from an injury.

Rodgers makes the Steelers better. They went 10-7 last year without a QB. They do have two tough divisional opponents, but they always play them well. Their defense can be nasty. I dont know much about the rest of the team but I consider their addition of Metcalf a slight upgrade. (They got rid of their most dynamic reciever, Pickens.) Every year I think this is the year Pittsburgh crashes and then they go 10-7. I think they will when about 9 games. Could be 8 and could be 10-11.

The one thing I know, we will hear about the golden boy every day of the season. If he wins 10 games they will vote for him for MVP. I have never liked the dude. Stafford needs to win the SB this year.

If I'm the GM in that situation, I'm spending half the draft budget and telling the scouting department to find me the top QB not slated to go in the top ten that has 1)leadership 2) a penchant for come back wins 3)intelligence 4) work ethic

Truth wrote: ↑June 7th, 2025, 8:05 pm Given what the market was for Rodgers at his age and the contract he just signed (just 1 year), the Rams massively overpaid for Stafford’s 2026. Just makes that deal even more questionable.


These established 38+ year old QBs should be getting average to below average year to year money. So the Steelers deal from a cap perspective makes sense.

Are you really comparing Aaron Rodgers to Matthew Stafford?

Two totally different issues here, Truth. Yes, you’re correct that they are older QB’s, but that’s it. There is no othet comparison beyond that.

I’ll let others explain why.

I don’t think he would listen anyway. He is like Safety Blitz just trying to get a reaction.

Ok when did Rodgers performance start trailing off? How old was he?

How old is Stafford going to be in 2026?

And Rodgers certainly had a higher ceiling to fall from

Not at all. There’s a few posters here that honestly are such myopic homers they belong on RamsonDemamd.

I don’t care if Stafford is your favorite player of all time. You don’t pay him $60 mils in 2026 when he’s going to be 38 years old just because he was good enough at age 33 to win for you.

I respect your opinion to post whatever you want. I just can't understand your logic. First of all, I don't think we are paying him $60M in 2026. It is currently $40M, but everyone agrees it will be re-negotiated for guaranteed $$. Even the Rams stated that is their approach to "year to year".

In regards to age...not sure that matters except the fact he will retire at some point. At 37-38 he is still better than 90% of the other QBs. (Including Jalen Hurts.) Jalen is only better because he will be on a team longer...not because he is actually younger.

Serious question...would you rather have Brock Purdy this year, or Stafford? (Purdy actually makes more $$.)

you don't get better with age IMO. Not sure I would argue Staff is better than Hurts. 2 different QB's. cap hit for Staff is $47.5M.
rather have Staff all day long

I agree that it is difficult to compare some QBs, but isn’t the fact you would take Stafford over Hurts at least count as a ranking for you?

Season can’t get here soon enough.

Hurts ran for 630 yards…the QB.
Hurts 69% completion %, 32 TD (Pass/Rush) and 14 (Fumbles + INTs).

Rams were 20th in the NFL in scoring.
Stafford 66% completions, 20 TD and 14 INTs/Fumbles

There is no way in hell the Eagles would want Stafford QB’ing their team over Hurts. None. You know how much the threat of the QB run opens up their entire offense? How many times could the Rams not convert 3rd or 4th and short. With the Eagles offense it’s easy.

Anyways, in 2026 Stafford will be 38 years old.

Joe Burrow
Lamar Jackson
Josh Allen
Patrick Mahomes
Jaden Daniels
Justin Herbert
CJ Stroud
Jalen Hurts
Baker Mayfield
Justin Love
Brock Purdy


All 11 of those guys will be in their absolute primes in 2026. So why would the Rams pay a 38 yrar old like he’s still in that group? He isn’t at age 38. Do some if you think he’s Tom Brady? He’s basically another Philip Rivers or Matt Ryan. And there’s a reason those guys weren’t paid like franchise guys at the end of their careers

You’re comparing the Eagles roster last year starting week one to the Rams week-by-week roster? How would Hurts have performed (stats/team stats) on the Rams roster last year? Stafford on the Eagles? Not a very worthwhile comparison regardless.

The Rams think Stafford has enough left in the tank to legitimately compete for a title still. He’s shown that as recently as last January. Was a complete stud against the Lions in the playoffs the year before…and has a pretty recent Super Bowl win. In fact, is there a more clutch QB in the playoffs than Stafford the last four years? He’s definitely coming near the end of his career, which is why he’s considered year to year. So?

And your list of players there – again so? Did I miss where they were made available to become a Ram this off season?

I do agree with almost all of your post but would have to say Mahomes was pretty clutch leading his team to 17 4th Q points in their 38-35 come from behind SB win VS the Eagles in SB 57. Add 3 SB rings from trips to 5 of the last 6 SB's... lotta clutch there...
