Some truly incredible throws from Aaron Rodgers saved this game from being one of the worst I've ever seen him play, but it was close... Now 42, Rodgers looks unsettled in the face of pressure. His reactions in the pocket are always a tick or two late, and he repeatedly moves into rushers.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Rodgers' regression evident despite perfect throws; mobility limitations capping offense.

At 42, Rodgers showed regression concerns despite a few perfect deep throws; he looked unsettled under pressure with pocket reactions a tick or two late, repeatedly moved into rushers, threw into questionable coverage, missed seeing open receivers, and missed high and low. The source notes his late-game explosion felt more like Ben Roethlisberger's last gasps of brilliance in 2020–2021 than a modern offense. While Rodgers was sacked five times and faced 73% man coverage, he shoulders plenty of blame on sacks and incompletions. The source concludes Rodgers might've been the best QB option available but is capping the offense's potential.
