Aaron Rodgers may be in Pittsburgh for just one season, but his impact could shape the franchise's future for years to come. With veteran leadership and a willingness to mentor, Rodgers might help Mike Tomlin discover the next great Steelers quarterback.

The Steelers decision to gamble on Aaron Rodgers dates back to Ben Roethlisberger's tenure in Pittsburgh. Roethlisberger never gave the Steelers a chance to find his heir-apparent, and it shows.

In his opening press conference, Aaron Rodgers admitted it was either the Steelers or retirement. And some believe it could be the latter in a year, including Steelers legend Ben Roethlisberger.
