[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 1097340, member: 17987"] I'm not ever really one to advocate for full-blown tanking per se. But like in the case of the Steelers, I think it can be easy to get stuck in that spot of good but not good enough. And you have to ask yourself if that's a place where you're comfortable staying... If I'm a Steelers fan I'm thinking long and hard about my prospects for this upcoming season and what the future looks like beyond that. Like I said before, you have Allar and Howard with virtually no experience, or Rudolph outside of Rodgers. Do you risk just riding into the season with one of those young guys as the starter and hope for the best? Do you worry that that sort of "thrown to the wolves" experience will ruin their prospects? On the other hand next year is being viewed (at least early on) as a fairly loaded up, elite QB draft class. You've got guys like Arch Manning, Dante Moore, Julian Sayin, etc... Are the wins that Rodgers might gain you worth playing yourself out of a spot where you can pick one of those guys? Because then you're basically right back to where you were this offseason, except presumably no vet "bridge" QB to go forward with... I guess my thinking is kind of like...if you think you have ANY kind of promise in Allar or Howard, maybe you just let them battle it out in camp and give one of them the starting job this year. Best-case scenario you uncover a "diamond in the rough" and one of these guys shines when given the opportunity. You realize you have a QB you can build around going forward and are free to invest wherever else is necessary. Worst-case scenario they crash and burn and you stumble into a top draft spot where you can still come away with one of the top QBs in the draft as a consolation prize. But like with last season, and IMO with a stronger AFC north around them this season, WITH Rodgers you run the risk of getting the worst of all scenarios: you get enough wins that you play yourself out of a top draft spot, you don't go on a deep postseason run, and you're without Rodgers next year and entering the offseason with the same exact QB room that you seemingly weren't confident to move forward in this season.... And I say all of this as a huge Rodgers fan and someone who loves to watch him play, hopefully for as long as possible. I just don't know if it makes a ton of sense for their particular situation looking big picture. [/QUOTE]
