Even the staunchest Rodgers defenders should be able to acknowledge that at 42 years old, Rodgers is no longer able to play like he did during his prime. It doesn't take a Hall of Fame coach to realize that asking a passer of that age to throw the ball that much is asking to write checks that his body can no longer cash.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Rodgers' age and inefficiency on deep balls argue for fewer dropbacks and more run support.

At 42 years old, Rodgers is no longer able to play like he did during his prime; asking him to throw 41.8 dropbacks per game is asking to write checks his body can no longer cash. The Steelers lead the league in 20+ air yard attempts (25) but Rodgers completes just 24% of those passes (26th in the league); he also completes just 33.3% of 15+ air yard attempts (30th). The source argues the Steelers should ease Rodgers' load with a stronger running game and more play action rather than continuing a pass-dominant approach.
