Former New England Patriots star Rodney Harrison is no fan of how the Pittsburgh Steelers are handling their quarterback situation. He thinks, as others do, the Steelers are putting all of their chips on Rodgers and it might not be a safe bet.
On the latest NBC's "Football Night in America" show featured on YouTube, Harrison, who is now an analyst with NBC Sports, questioned Pittsburgh's interest in Rodgers.
"At times, he's gonna give you some great moments in spot duty," Harrison said about what Rodgers is at the age of 41, as shared by Matthew Marczi of Steelers Depot. "But overall, I don't trust him. I don't trust that he's gonna stay healthy. I don't trust that it's gonna be a good situation."
Rodgers is old in football years. Harrison points that out. At 41-years old and being injury prone. The Steelers should rethink their bet and stay with Mason Rudolph for a year while a draft choice develops.
"He is old, man, and this league is not built for old guys. This league is built for young guys," Harrison said. "...I have a lot of respect for Aaron and what he's accomplished, but he's not that dude anymore...There's no way I would touch Aaron Rodgers. I wouldn't even entertain it."

Former NFL player Emmanuel Ocho, who is also a current NFL analyst blames Tomlin for failing to get the quarterback solidified once Ben Roethlisberger retired.
"The biggest thing we turn a blind eye to in all of sports is Mike Tomlin's complete negligence of the quarterback situation," Acho said during Friday's episode of FS1's "The Facility" program, per Troy Montgomery of Steelers Depot. "You would suggest that it's malpractice, what he's doing with the quarterback situation with the Steelers."
