As thelack of clarity on the Aaron Rodgers front continues for the Pittsburgh Steelers, rumors involving other quarterbacks have also been swirling around the AFC North franchise. Among those being linked to the Steelers is Atlanta Falcons veteran signal-caller Kirk Cousins, who has yet to appear in his team’s OTAs this offseason.

Analyst Jeremy Fowler of ESPN recently floated a scenario where the Steelers trade for Cousins, but that ideawas shut down by another ESPN personality and former Pittsburgh defensive back Ryan Clark.
“Last time I checked, Allen Iverson was the answer because it sure ain’t Kirk Cousins,” Clark said on NFL Live. “I understand what Jeremy [Fowler] might be hearing and it does seem like the eventual next step if you can’t get Aaron Rodgers but what makes you think Kirk Cousins is going to be better than Mason Rudolph? What makes you think that Kirk Cousins’ arm is more lively or can maneuver in the pocket better? He can’t,” Clark added.
A part of that quote, particularly the Allen Iverson mention, was posted on social media byESPN on NFL, and it has garnered quite a lot of strong reactions from fans. Many of the commenters clowned Clark for his take.
“Bruh I ain’t gonna lie I’m getting tired of Ryan Clark talking like he was ed reed while he was playing.”
“He thought he cooked lmao.”
“Ryan Clark is just a terrible analyst.”
“RyanClark hasn’t been canceled yet?”
“Clark fell off the real wagons long ago.”
“Stick to discussing WNBA take fouls Ryan. Leave football to the professionals.”
