Does Aaron Rodgers’ Return Help or Hurt the Steelers?

Joe and Brian discuss whether Aaron Rodgers returning would actually help or hurt the Pittsburgh Steelers. Is Rodgers the missing piece for a playoff run, or would bringing him back delay finding the franchise’s next long-term quarterback?

They break down the Steelers’ refusal to rebuild, the impact on veterans like Cam Heyward, whether Pittsburgh can contend for a Super Bowl, and if Rodgers would help develop younger QBs or take opportunities away from them.
