Colin Cowherd Hits Nail On Head Of What's Wrong With Steelers Organization

Incredibly, the Steelers haven't had a losing season during that stretch. However, they haven't won a playoff game, either.

Pittsburgh's plan for 2026 is apparently to bring back Rodgers at age 42, backed up by Rudolph, Will Howard, and Drew Allar. That would at least give them some continuity under center, but not the good kind.

Last year, the Steelers didn't sign Rodgers until June. This year, they're still waiting for him to make a decision in May.

Quarterback has been a revolving door for Pittsburgh since Roethlisberger retired. That's what happens when you have the most expensive defense in the NFL and treat quarterback like an afterthought.

"Most NFL teams have a three to five-year plan at quarterback. The Pittsburgh Steelers, they treat quarterback like it's a slot quarterback or an off-ball linebacker," Colin Cowherd said on Thursday's episode of "The Herd." "The Steelers have had five different quarterbacks for their opening game in five years."

Rodgers will break that trend if he comes back, but given his age, that's not something to celebrate.
