Who do I think McCarthy and the Steelers will choose?

And I don't think they're choosing Will Howard on opening day here.

I mean, it sounds to me like those questions are all academic now because the guy just said that's the plan.

So if it's Aaron Rodgers, I don't think it's a good plan.

I disagree with you.

I think it's a bad plan, and I think it –

Do you think it's a bad plan long-term?

That's what you're saying, or for this year?

It's a bad plan, period.

To me, that underscores how they're just running in place here.

And Aaron was better than I thought he'd be.

But in the end, he kind of was what I thought he'd be.

His passer rating was one point below Russell Wilson the year before.

He looked an awful lot like late-stage Ben, which isn't the worst thing in the world.

As Ben proved, you can go 9-8 and get blown out of the first round, too, late in your career.

Aaron is one year older.

At times, he took a beating, never more so than in the playoff game.

At times, he was really good, just not usually against good teams.

He beat one playoff team all year long, and it ended really poorly.

And it's almost impossible for me to envision that it would end better this year, that he would be healthy, that he would flourish, that he would lead a playoff run.
