Peyton Manning Makes Honest Admission About Aaron Rodgers’ Retirement Dilemma Amid Steelers Saga

Game recognize game. In the NFL’s 100+ year history, there have been hundreds of quarterbacks who have played the game and gone. However, some names have gone on to separate themselves with their unforgettable plays. The likes of Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Steve Young, and Brett Favre are all big names who have had a significant impact on their respective teams.

There is one more name that is not mentioned in the above list: Aaron Rodgers. The four-time NFL MVP will no doubt be a first-ballot Hall of Fame player. However, his stint with the Jets and ongoing indecisiveness surrounding his future are two separate incidents that soured his image even amongst his loyal fan base.

Peyton Manning was asked to share his honest thoughts on the Aaron Rodgers situation. As the quarterback ponders if he will be making a return this season as a Pittsburgh Steeler, Manning was asked if the veteran can still have the same impact he had on the Packers.

I think so. The guy is super talented, probably has arguably one of the best arms of all time, he’s just kind of elastic. I don’t have any insight on that, hopefully, he gets with the team soon, and kind of gets going…it will be fun to see him back out there on the field.

Peyton Manning told 97.1 The Fan. 

The two-time Super Bowl Champion has faith that Aaron Rodgers can still play at a high level, and potentially lead the Pittsburgh Steelers to their first Super Bowl since 2011. It will be an interesting twist of events for Rodgers, as he was the one who beat Mike Tomlin and the Steelers in Super Bowl XLV.

Aaron Rodgers continues to leave the Steelers hanging

The situation surrounding Aaron Rodgers has transformed from an exciting prospect into a stressful ordeal for Steelers fans. The quarterback has had two promising visits to the team’s facility, but there has been no commitment from his end yet. Rodgers even scheduled a throwing session with the team’s hottest off-season acquisition, DK Metcalf. All that did was strengthen the rumors of him joining the Steelers.
