Steelers' pursuit of Aaron Rodgers was more Desperado than Renegade

The article discusses the Pittsburgh Steelers' decision to acquire Aaron Rodgers, suggesting it reflects a sense of desperation similar to the Eagles' song "Desperado," contrasting with their traditional in-stadium anthem "Renegade." The team's goal is to break a nine-year playoff win drought, the longest since they first won in 1972, by obtaining better quarterback play post-Ben Roethlisberger. Rodgers is seen as an upgrade compared to recent quarterbacks like Justin Fields and Russell Wilson. The move is portrayed as high-risk, with concerns about the power and influence Rodgers might wield within the team, a move uncharacteristic for the Steelers, leading fans to question their direction.
