Aaron Rodgers' potential move to the Pittsburgh Steelers has sparked conversation at the NFL owners' meetings in Florida. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin's remarks at the AFC coaches breakfast emphasized Rodgers' significance, highlighting the ongoing need for teams to secure a reliable quarterback and avoid what some call "quarterback purgatory."

For the Arizona Cardinals, finding and developing a standout quarterback remains pivotal. The team's past post-Kurt Warner struggles underscore the challenge of securing a quality QB. Although the Cardinals had plans with Matt Leinart in 2010, his quick departure left the team grappling with instability until Carson Palmer's arrival in 2013. This era of uncertainty included several attempts with quarterbacks like Derek Anderson, Kevin Kolb, John Skelton, and others.

According to Gene Lower from the Arizona Cardinals, having a capable quarterback is crucial. Despite the Cardinals having a solid team in 2011 under Ken Whisenhunt, they still finished .500 with John Skelton handling much of the quarterback duties. The need for a reliable quarterback remains a pressing issue across the league.
