43-year-old Rodgers is aging with one cheek in the podcasting chair; put together one of the worst games of his long career in the Steelers' playoff loss to Houston (offense scored just 8 points while defense held Houston to 10); increasingly struggles under pressure as he's aged and is particularly susceptible to getting off-rhythm and missing throws when forced to roll out instead of stepping up in the pocket; can only show his dangerous ability in stretches and clean pockets.

Rodgers' career sack rate is 6.42%, more than two full percentage points higher than Love's 4.27%. This ranks Rodgers 18th among 34 qualifying active quarterbacks and 89th out of 204 on the all-time career leaderboard. Rodgers famously preferred taking sacks over throwing the ball into harm's way, a conservative approach that contrasts with Love's willingness to put the ball up while maintaining elite accuracy.

Rodgers is the Steelers' quarterback in 2026, described as 'same mediocre quarterback, but now a little older.' The source notes that Rodgers isn't the easiest person to work with, citing his previous relationship with Mike McCarthy in Green Bay that soured and led to McCarthy's firing in 2018. This creates pressure on new acquisitions like Rico Dowdle to get up to speed quickly.

Rodgers expressed frustration with how his departure from Green Bay was handled, stating 'I just didn't like the way it was handled, and obviously I could have probably handled it better but, on the flip side, probably made it a little bit easier for Jordan.' He acknowledged that the Packers' selection of Jordan Love in the first round of the 2020 draft signaled the end of his tenure, saying 'it really made me know that the end was going to come at some point, probably before I wanted it to, in Green Bay.'

Rodgers, now Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback, discussed his polarizing media status on Not Just Football with Cam Heyward, attributing the shift in perception to his COVID-related statements. He contrasted his previous media favorability—citing positive reception to his Colin Kaepernick commentary, his response to anti-Muslim rhetoric during Obama's presidency, and a feature by Mina Kimes—with the current lack of benefit of the doubt he receives from those same media figures after taking a stance against COVID protocols.
