That's not the expectation.

And if he does have a better season, where does it land this franchise on a long-term basis?

Aaron Rodgers just doesn't help.

But I don't want to...

in any direction, tank or try to lose games.

If we're trying to develop a quarterback or bring a quarterback in and maybe help us win, I'm totally good with that.

I just don't feel like we have to go, you know, 5-12 or something to get a quarterback because I may go down this list, and I've done this with Joe probably a year ago.

He may or may not remember it.

I typically do this to him.

Patrick Mahomes was drafted after they were 12-4.

Aaron Rods after 10-6.

Jordan Love at 13-3.

Lamar Jackson after winning season.

Jalen Hurst after winning season.

Russell Wilson, they were 7-9, but they made the playoffs.

So it's about how well you draft.

And develop.

Not how much you lose.

And one of my last comments, and I really appreciate you guys letting me talk, is...

The Steelers, as we know it, foundationally, were built because they had the greatest draft in NFL history and then later on picked up a Terry Bradshaw and a Ben Roethlisberger.
