THE Pittsburgh Steelers Have an interesting situation that is preparing at the quarter-Arrière. Of course, the 2025 season really comes down to knowing if Aaron Rodgers will be part of the team. If Rodgers joins the Steelers, this considerably changes the number of people to see the team’s ceiling. A quarter of its caliber would immediately increase expectations and move the account around the potential of Pittsburgh in a competitive AFC.

Steelers legend Ben Roethlisberger fell the 2025 official calendar on its podcast Scarf Tuesday. Roethlisberger admitted that it was difficult to make predictions without knowing who will be at the center. However, he underlined something that deserves to be looked at. The Steelers open the season against the New York Jets in week 1 then play the Green bay packers During week 8, two teams were closely linked to the past of Rodgers and to the current speculation on its future.
Roethlisberger expressed his doubt about the assertion of the NFL according to which the calendar had nothing to do with Rodgers. He said he disagreed with the League and had questioned their honesty on the matches. The time of these games, associated with uncertainty around Rodgers, adds an additional layer of intrigue to a calendar already filled with high issues.
“I know that the league came out and said that the Packers match had nothing to do with Aaron Rodgers and was about Mike Tomlin,” said Roethlisberger. “I don’t agree with them. I think they lie. They want to be in this game, of course.”
If Rodgers does not join the Steelers, Pittsburgh seems ready to roll with Mason Rudolph While allowing a quarter recruit Will Howard To challenge it for the starting work. Roethlisberger admitted that it was difficult to really break the schedule without knowing who will be under the center. However, he said that if Rodgers finds himself in Pittsburgh, he thinks that the Steelers can beat the packers during week 8. Without Rodgers, Roethlisberger is not convinced that the Steelers are very lucky.

The 2025 Steelers season promises to be one of the most convincing scenarios of the NFL. Roethlisberger recently tried to break the Pittsburgh calendar and seemed to have a little struggle, which perfectly reflects the confusion and fatigue surrounding the quarter of the team. It is not only the fans of the Steelers who feel that. Everywhere, football fans have tired of the current drama involving the 41-year-old quarter.
Currently, the Steelers consider Rodgers as their best chance of remaining competitive in 2025. It may not be the long-term solution, but in the short term, the organization thinks it gives them the best victory. The problem is that the quarter of the future probably does not appear on the list. Rudolph and Howard are still in the photo, but none has shown the consistency or the necessary increase to direct a franchise.
The Steelers 2025 season will surely be interesting in the QB spot
Howard, of course, is a recruit, so he has not yet had these chances. Maybe he gets them, runs with the occasion and never looks back. However, many experts believe that it is more a fairy tale than a probable result for a sixth round choice. However, Howard is not doing as a typical late selection. He is confident, motivated and hungry to prove that he belongs to Pittsburgh.

Rudolph intensified when it counted in 2023. After being called at the end of the season, he helped turn things around and guided the Steelers to the playoffs. He has gained respect for this performance, but there are still real doubts as to whether he can manage the pressure and responsibility for a full season as a starter. With so many unknowns in the most important position, the 2025 season looks at a pivotal moment for the direction of the franchise.
