Dan Marino Debates Rodgers Commitment to Steelers

Earlier this month, we heard Hall of Fame Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw issue some headline-grabbing remarks about his former team pursuing Aaron Rodgers in free agency.

Bradshaw wasn't the only legendary signal caller to let his voice be heard about Rodgers' decision, one that seemed to stretch on for months before the official declaration that he's heading to Pittsburgh as expected.

Before the signing became official this week, Miami Dolphins icon Dan Marino discussed the possibility of Rodgers joining the Steelers and how the four-time MVP could make them a contender right away.

"I still think Aaron has some game," Marino said. "He does. He can throw it as good as anybody that has ever thrown the football. If his mind's into it and he's ready to go and that works. I don't think it would be an issue with the Steelers."

If this extended waiting period wasn't an indication though, Rodgers has the personality that prefers to march to the beat of his own drum, leading many to believe it's much harder to manage his mental than other QBs. 

Marino acknowledges is all-time talent, but is warning the Steelers organization about what they could be getting into.

"But you gotta have someone that really wants to play there," he said. "And he's getting older. So I don't know what his mindset is."

Many predicted Rodgers to land in Pittsburgh because it was the best remaining option for teams looking for a starting quarterback.

So does he actually want to be there? Or did he settle for what was best available?

Rodgers, who will turn 42 in December, signed a one-year deal with the Steelers, making his future with the organization dependent on a solid 2025 season.
