It’s been a relatively quiet season with Aaron Rodgers.

He’s kept snark to a minimum, preferring the marginally different path of passive-aggressive. He’s been, by all accounts, a great leader that’s 100% respected by the locker room.

Rodgers ceremoniously walks off the field after games with Mike Tomlin and Cam Heyward, a tradition that means zilch if they don’t do it after a playoff win Monday night. (Any Steelers’ tradition not tied into winning is bunk.)

Rodgers has played above-average quarterback. No better. (Thirteenth in touchdowns, 14th in passer rating, 15th in passing yards, etc.)

He’s tailored the offense to what he wants, which is probably throwing too much.

He pointedly avoids getting hit. That’s limited his playmaking. No risk it, no biscuit. (It’s said he kept dumping the ball off prematurely to avoid allowing Myles Garrett to get his record-setting sack in the Steelers’ Week 17 game vs. Cleveland. But Rodgers has done that all year.)

He’s disappeared and appeared mentally disheveled in some games, most notably defeats at the Los Angeles Chargers and Cleveland.

He’s had few truly great performances. The opening-weekend victory at the New York Jets. Maybe the home win vs. Miami. His last two series in the fake playoff victory over Baltimore were epic. He never threw for over 300 yards.

His guile helps. He’s a winner. Unless he loses Monday night.

He worked cheap, making just $13.65 million. He got another half-mil when the Steelers made the playoffs.

The Steelers went 10-7 last season, 10-7 this season.

The Steelers lost in the wild-card round last year. Let’s see what happens Monday when Houston visits.

If we’re honest, the upgrade has been minimal. (So far.)

It’s another season with a recycled old quarterback where the franchise didn’t move forward. (So far.)

The Steelers shouldn’t bring him back. (They will.) Rodgers won’t be better at 43, or even as good.

He’s going to take forever to decide if he plays, like he did last offseason. (It might take longer. Here’s thinking Rodgers won’t feel obligated to attend mini-camp.)

If a team that has a better chance to win a Super Bowl comes calling, Rodgers will go there. (None will.)

That’s Rodgers’ tenure with the Steelers in a nutshell.

Unless he wins a couple of playoff games, nothing much happened.

Mason Rudolph would have done worse.

But not a lot worse.
