From the episode

Aaron Rodgers is flat out bad right now, and he's not making anybody around him good... his average air yards per attempt is 4.7... An average air yards per completion of 3.0. I don't know how you can have a functioning NFL team with that number. There's only one quarterback that's lower so far this year, and it's Cooper Rush.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Rodgers' 3.0 air yards per completion is second-worst in NFL; benching warranted.

Aaron Rodgers is playing poorly and dragging down the Steelers offense; he was ranked 29th at quarterback last year and remains flat out bad this year with no sign of late-career improvement. His average air yards per attempt is 4.7 (worse than last year), 3.8 yards per attempt under pressure, and 2.7 yards per attempt against blitzes. His average air yards per completion of 3.0 is the second-lowest in the NFL this season (only Cooper Rush is lower), making it nearly impossible to have a functioning NFL offense. The source believes he should be benched in favor of younger quarterbacks like Howard or Aller.
