Behind the Steel Curtain on Aaron Rodgers
From the article
If that's the way Aaron Rodgers is going to play, his last ride might be a short one. At some point, the Steelers may have to take a look at rookie Drew Allar.
STACKED’s take
Rodgers' accuracy under pressure (33% on dropbacks, 50% vs. blitz) raises benching concerns.
Rodgers' performance through two weeks has drawn criticism about the viability of his tenure with Pittsburgh. Ralph Vacchiano (FOX Sports) stated: "If that's the way Aaron Rodgers is going to play, his last ride might be a short one." The source cites specific performance concerns: two fumbles in Sunday's defeat, completion of just 8 of 24 attempts (33%) on 31 dropbacks under pressure with six sacks, career-low 50% completion rate against the blitz, and career-worst 30.4% off-target percentage on blitz throws. At 42 years old, decreased mobility has compounded pressure management issues. Additionally, the Steelers have produced only one offensive touchdown in eight quarters under McCarthy's aggressive passing approach (65% pass rate despite not being in pass-only situations), and Rodgers' inaccuracy under pressure has been a primary factor in the offense's dysfunction.
