Where the Steelers are indecisive about their quarterback situation. Okay. And I mentioned that I think Minnesota is holding the Steelers hostage because if Minnesota just said we're not interested in Aaron Rodgers, then we'd probably have some kind of movement here. But Minnesota hasn't said that. Now maybe they feel like we don't have to say anything. If there's mutual interest, then and you want to send a message to your team and J.J. mcCarthy, hey, you're my quarterback. He's our quarterback. We're not interested in Aaron Rodgers. Well, they are interested in Aaron Rodgers and therefore Rogers is holding up the Pittsburgh Steelers. Because if it's not Minnesota, you would assume that it's going to be Pittsburgh because you have a better chance to win if that's important to you. Now he might say, hey, I'll play for the Giants. I don't have to leave the New York area, even though his home is in Malibu. But you know, does he want to, you know, stick it to the jets by being good for the Giants? Like, I don't know, motivation? I don't have a source with Aaron Rodgers. I usually find out Aaron Rodgers what he's thinking from Pat McAfee show, but then McAfee doesn't know what Aaron Rodgers is thinking right now. But we'll talk to Devin McCourty, NBC Sports, former defensive back with the Patriots. He'll join us coming up here in a little bit. The Vikings were better than they thought they were going to be. Last year. They won 14 games. That I think changed their whole sort of approach here of, wow, Sam Darnold came in. J.J. mcCarthy, you drafted in first round. Sam played really well until he didn't. But now in your mind, you're a Super bowl contending team and you should think that way. Well, that might change your philosophy going into this year because you're going, we got there with Sam Darnold. Where could we get with Aaron Rodgers? I mean, this is what I would be thinking now. Would I want to bring him in? If I'm the Vikings, I'm about winning now. I don't think Aaron is going to bring the Aaron Rodgers world to Minnesota. You know, he's not bringing in his buddies. And you got a really good head coach. You got a couple of really good wide receivers. Defense is really good. The defensive coordinator. Okay, now we got a chance here to maybe we get past Detroit or Washington or Philadelphia. This is a chance. And this is a franchise that's never won a Super Bowl. You got pieces there. And it's tricky with a guy his age. Coming off the Achilles surgery two years ago, do you want to go all in for one year? I. Rogers reportedly wants two years. Now, do you have a Jordan love situation with J.J. mcCarthy with Waiting for Aaron Rodgers to pass the baton? If I'm Minnesota, I entertain it. I do. Because I don't know if J.J. mcCarthy is healthy right now, but they've let three quarterbacks go. I thought they were going to keep Daniel Jones. I thought that made the most sense, that he can play, he can play at a decent level until J.J. mcCarthy's ready to play. But let's factor in that he did have knee surgery that kept him. He didn't take one snap. Aaron Rodgers does still give you that potential to put a threat out there on the field that you can make people nervous with Aaron Rodgers, Sam Darnold, did he make you nervous? Probably not. But Rogers. And look, Sam Darnold is not Lamar Jackson back there. It was not like you go, well, Aaron's not going to be able to do what Sam did. He should be able to and then some. So I would take. I mean, what. What's the downside that you handed over for one year and whatever, you end up with 11 wins and you lose in the first round of the playoffs. Okay. And Then you put in J.J. mcCarthy. But I, I just believe in winning. Now. Washington is trying to win now. Philadelphia is winning now. San Francisco had their opportunity. Two Super Bowls in six years. They tried to win. Now there's certain franchises that keep sort of waiting. You know, the Chiefs win now. Let's get guys, you know, that are going to come in and play right now. We can win. Kelsey comes back one more year. Let's strengthen the offensive line. We'll get a couple receivers in here, will plug and play, win now. This is your opportunity. And if I'm Minnesota, I roll the dice on it. I do 8, 7, 7, 3, DP show email address dpdanpatrick.com Twitter handle @dpshow Also, the Russell Wilson situation, because if you're Russ, if I was Cleveland, I wouldn't let him out of the building. I'd just say, what's it going to take? We want you to be our quarterback. Give us some stability here for a couple of years. How about we have a quarterback that nobody's going to say negative things about unless it's his performance, but we can bring him in. Now, I still would kick the tires on Kirk Cousins. I would still say to Atlanta, what, what would it take for us to get Kirk Cousins? Because Cousins would be an upgrade over Russell Wilson. But if you're the Steelers, I, you got Mason Rudolph right now, if that's the answer, you don't like the question and you're waiting for Aaron Rodgers, well, are you going to bring Russ back? What if Russ signs with the Giants or the Browns and you're waiting for Aaron Rodgers? Like, how long do you wait? If I'm the Steelers, I just say, we're the Steelers. Today at the end of business hours today, we, we have to have a decision. And if not, you know, if he can't come up with a decision, then you say, russ, you're our guy. If Russ still wants to do it, he might be like, I'm not waiting around for you. I could go to Cleveland. Maybe the Giants. Giants could still take a quarterback, but Russ might be that bridge quarterback. Yes. Marvin, if you're a Steelers fan, do you really want Aaron Rogers?
