Organised team activity for the Pittsburgh Steelers at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex on the South Side is underway, with one player in the most important position in the sport during OTAS.
Although he hasn’t been signed yet, Aaron Rodgers is playing for the Steelers in 2025, bouncing off from a tough two years with the New York Jets and trying to hold back the start quarterback role of the season to round out his Hall of Fame career with his right foot.
But he’s not with the Steelers, he’s dragging things around. It raised many questions to players during OTAS on Tuesday, creating already distractions regarding the guy who hasn’t yet been listed on the roster.
In some aspects of offseason team building, the Steelers aren’t likely to start quarterbacks there. For former NFL player and current FS1 analyst Emmanuel Accor, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has significantly undermined his players, especially TJ Watt, Minka Fitzpatrick and Patrick Queen.
Also.
Hosting the FS1 facility on Wednesday morning, Acho is torn apart by Tomlin, continually mistreating the situation at the quarterback, calling it a car accident where people see in real time, but fears calling an ambulance. So Acho is stepping up.
“Mike Tomlin is Mike Tomlin’s biggest enemy, the era. We all see one of the most important positions in the sport and are absolutely mistaken and mistaken. According to video via FS1. “I don’t know why, but Tomlin is absolutely insufficient on the work of all 90 other players currently on the roster until it’s cut to 53. TJ Watt can have 35 bags and it’s not important without a quarterback. A 250 tackle is not important without a quarterback.
“The work that any of the other players on the roster will do is not important as long as Mike Tomlin is with Mike Tomlin, as long as he continues to mistreat this quarterback situation completely.”
The Steelers have been a bit confused at their quarterback position since Ben Roethlisberger retired after the 2021 season. Of course, Pittsburgh had no Post-Roeslisburger plans. It led them into the wilderness at quarterback, with free agency like Mitch Trubisky and Russell Wilson re-signing them a year later.
Currently, the Steelers appear to be preparing for the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh. The Steelers are predicted to have 12 picks in the draft. This is considered to be very good quarterbacks, so you have the opportunity to find a quarterback for the franchise.
However, they are still going through the 2025 season, waiting for a decision from Rodgers, while also having Kirk’s cousin as a fallback option via trade with the Falcons.
The 2025 season should not be forgotten, especially on the big names on the roster, especially on the football defense. That’s where Acho’s take comes in. The Steelers have several stars in defense like Watt, Fitzpatrick and even Cam Heyward.
He doesn’t have a quarterback at the moment, or has great future prospects at that position, has also led to a lot of criticism of Tomlin.
“It’s the most negligent and grossly negligent thing we’ve seen in the sport. Not only is Mike Tomlin at this junction that doesn’t identify the right quarterback, he’s not committed to the right quarterback. He’s not developing the right quarterback.” “It’s been the fifth consecutive season, with the Steelers having different first-day starters in their quarterback positions. In the most important positions of the fifth season, the opening day starters will be different.
“We’ve all witnessed this car accident and no one calls an ambulance that anyone else trusts to do it. In this Steelers quarterback situation, there’s a car accident.”
It’s not good now, and things are pretty ugly. There are many beliefs about teammates and coach Mason Rudolph, but it’s not a pleasant feeling to know that he’s the starting quarterback and rookie’s sixth round pick, Wil Howard, could be a backup in 2025 if Rodgers decides to retire rather than play.
But perhaps going through an ugly season, the Steelers are getting long-term success.
There’s no guarantee that, but if it chooses it for the Steelers, it’s one path for the Steelers.
