OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: Post Draft - Still dont need no QB

[TooManyHumans]

Quick question on the Aaron Rodgers situation. Has he been actually released by the Jets and is able to sign a new deal or has he been "released" and has to wait until June 1st to sign?

I see both things posted individually in different places.

If a player is cut with the post-June 1st designation, they are a free agent and can sign with another team right away. They do not have to wait for June 2nd or anything. It is just a bookkeeping designation.

"According to Steelers Depot on X, “Arthur Smith Admits Steelers Didn’t Run His Core Scheme In 2024,” saying, “I Pivoted.” He admitted he had to adjust to the guys he had, not the system he prefers. The offensive coordinator didn’t want to force a scheme that didn’t fit. So he played it safe.

It was obvious watching it wasn’t his scheme. He wants to be a heavy play action under center attacking mof on in breaking routes using zone running scheme. Fields cant handle a snap under center still. RW can’t see over the line in the mof. He also had a power rb and limited wr options

Well, will AR and MR be able to take a snap from under center?

He just puts out what the Steelers want him to

Exactly. He's not out there just making shit up like others do.

Released and free to sign.

If what I felt would never happen, happened, I am hoping the same goes for the Steelers with Tomlin and they do away with that wankbucket like they did Sulliturd.

Then maybe Tomlin goes and becomes the Ravens coach and we can all collectively laugh our asses off.

The 2026 draft has some truly gargantuan human beings.

And Mike Tomlin, with the retirement of Pop, is the longest tenured head coach in North America.

No one in their right mind would play it THAT safe

I'm kind of there also...I think Artie's system sucks. It's predicated on having a game manager and TE's. How hard can this possibly f***ing be?

Football players needs to get smarter. THese coaches need to make schemes that are actually interesting to watch. If you can't come in and run a scheme in a year, the scheme is too difficult or the people trying to execute are too stupid. One or the other.

At some point in Smith's time with Atlanta, Smith said Mariota was complaining about how hard it was to learn the system and who this was a good thing as it meant he was being stretched hard enough.

I don't really know what to draw from that. Whether Smith's system is complicated, whether Mariota is stupid, or what... that said, a system that's only really worked with one of the... six? QBs to try it raises questions. Personnel quality has obviously been an issue but I'm not sure that's definitely the be all and end all of thr struggles.

His system is not anything new. You see parts in san Francisco and greenbay. Purdy says he struggles seeing his wr breaking open because he is short.,
