Pittsburgh – as Aaron Rodgers He emphasized that “No person was being held as a hostage,” the Pittsburgh Stelors“Refraining from the spring is that they will do their work outside the season independently of Rodgers’ decision.
However, behaviors do not match their words.
When Rodgers dealt with what he called “difficult things” for his internal members, he attended a party in Kentucky Derby and commented with a friend and rapper Mike Stood at a few concerts. Howard will In the sixth round. They also chose to sign Mason Rudolph As the only real veteran midfielder to join the inexperienced Skyler Thompson In the situation.
Although one of the doctrine of coach Mike Tomlin wants his players to be “volunteers, not hostages”, all of them volunteered that Rodgers be hostage by laying all their eggs in his basket. With the end of the draft, the free Gortrobeck market and a few commercial options, Rodgers is the last hope in Stelors. However, on paper and in the field, Rodgers does not seem suitable for the crime of Stelors or its long -term organizational philosophy, which leaves the organization heading towards the identity crisis.
Tomlin doubled the importance of being a team first when he rented a offensive attack Arthur Smith a year ago, but on Friday Stelors is expected to agree on a deal with Rodgers, who tried the second most more pass in the US Football Association last season.
Tomlin has repeatedly emphasized the mobility as the desired Qors of Corterbo, however, his new interest took 40 bags and rushed 34 times compared to 94 yards last season.
On the eve of the Free Agency, General Manager Omar Khan He organized a wonderful trade For a deep threat to the Prime Minister Dk Metcalf And it signed it in an unprecedented extension, but it agreed on conditions with Qortartbbe, which reached an average of 6.6 yards of the air for each attempt last season, as it ranked 32 out of 36 qualified cortressing.
“The way we have finished [the season] “We have to have to be better, and people expect better. We expect better, and this cannot happen again. I am disappointed like anyone else, and I can tell you that we are working hard to fix that and make sure that this does not happen again,” Khan said in the American Football Association.
The Steelers team entered a promising change abroad after it lost a series of five games to finish a normal season that started with 10-3 in 14 weeks. Although Rodgers is about to be the fifth week of different for the team, Qurtubbere began in many years, it is not necessarily a concert with their intended offensive identity.
Rodgers’ acquisition is the second time for several years, and Stelors swollen into an aging project. Like 36 years old Russell Wilson In front of him, Rodgers, 41, was released before the end of his contract before New York GatesWho abandoned the king’s ransom in the hope that they will revitalize their concession.
This is the hand that Stelors treat themselves not to re -sign Justin fieldsThe one-time Gardbbere who left for aircraft and the humble contract-AAV for $ 20 million in Fields is the lowest of all expected midfielders who do not play in a thunderbolt-new start deal.
The Steelers team won the long -awaited Rose Rodgers after the giants signed Wilson and Minnesota to choose the first round 2024 JJ McCarthy As the beginning of Qurtirbbeck. Then the organization Rodgers fell after a hard internal tension between Rodgers’ desire to continue to play or retire. At this stage of his career, Rodgers comes with more than one petals.
As the NFL MVP champion four times, the Bowler 10 times, and the Super Bowl-in his victory over Tomlin’s Steles-Rodgers is the Famer Hall in the future that cannot be denied. But after two decades in the American Football Association and Achilles torn the 2023 season and a second victorious offer in New York, Rodgers Pittsburgh is entered as the midfielder who won successive MVP awards in 2020 and 2021.
Since winning the highest individual honor in the US Football Association, Rodgers’ performance has been a sharp drop. In 2022 and 2024, in the past two years as a start, ranked 26th and 25th in QBR and 21 and 26 in the squares for each attempt.
Besides being the circus ‘episode manager outside the field in New York for a better part of two seasons, Rodgers’ performance at home in his only full season, as the novice decreased from the gold standard during his career in Green Bay. While Rodgers ended the season, which completed 63 % of his attempts to 3,897 yards, 28 declines and 11 objections, it was published 48.0 QBR. His previous previous QBR profession was as a full season 41.3, published in 2022. That year, his last season in Green Bay, completed 64.6 % of 3695 yards attempts, 26 declines and 12 objections when Bakr went 8-9.
Perhaps the lowest point in the curved lights in the Rodgers era in a loss of 40 to 14 weeks to Boufalo invoices When he recorded the profession of 1.2 QBR, he threw two objections and was sacked four times to overcome Tom Brady as the most players in the American Football Association. By the time Rodgers dealt with the late 40-0 aircraft at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the crime had gone 14 consecutive properties without landing. The unit recently scored a Rodgers strike in the 500–in the second quarter of the final final victory for the regular season against the final match of Rodgers.
Stelors had similar offensive seizures during 2024. Baltimore Raven’s (Thanks Chris BuswellThe field goals (until Wilson found the recipient like Austin for 23 yards late in the fourth quarter against Cleveland Brown A week later, Stelors went 20 offensive properties without touching land – seven quarters.
“He certainly needs to register more points,” Tomlin said of the crime at his press conference at the end of the season. “In any way it happens is how it happens. This does not necessarily mean building, but we definitely got more points. You will not score 14 points a week in January and be very successful.”
Compared to the side, Wilson’s strengths seem to fit better with Stelors attack staff. Wilson’s average reached 7.6 yards per attempt in 2024, while Rodgers recorded in 6.7. Wilson also outperformed Rodgers when they were not pressure, according to the ESPN research. Wilson completed 75 % of attempts with 11 declines and two objection to QBR total 71. Rodgers completed 68 % of attempts when he was not pressed and 21 declined to 10 objections against the total QBR of 55.
While Rodgers was not shy than he left him early in his career, he was noticeably more conservative after Achille’s rupture. The average Rodgers reached 2.69 seconds to throw, the fifth place in the qualified Qurtubbere, last season, and the average throwing 6.6 yard was the fifth most severe league. Last season, he was distinguished by the only full season as a start, with a average throw of less than 7.4 yards.
Rodgers was also not the head of heavy running crimes. Jets ranked 28th in Run Run last year, and from 2008-22, Packers ran 37 % of plays-fourth low in league during that period, according to Research Espn. However, the new Rodgers attack coordinator, Smith Smith, Ashraf Smith on the best 5 crimes falling in five of his last six seasons as a student.
But these points points, because while Stelors waited Rodgers’ decision, Wilson took matters in his hands and his scheduled visits with Brown and the giants. A day after the news of Wilson’s visits spread, Stelors made the ink of Masson Rudolph, the selection of the third round of 2018, which spent the 2024 season in Tennessee, to a two -year deal worth $ 8 million.
Some believe, like Stelors, that Rodgers has more bullish than Wilson – or any other option available in the free Qurtubbere and draft chapters. Jets had a better registration rate in a better red region than Steles in 2024 – 54.55 % to Pittsburgh 48.21 %, the fourth lowest level in the American Football Association.
“He played well, especially at the end of the season,” said Steles Cornerback. Branden EcholsWho played with Rodgers in New York last season. “I hope the result will be a little better, but at the end of the season, he started to wake up really.”
Stelors approach to the free agency placed the ball in the hands of Rodgers. The best opportunity to avoid the potential offensive identity crisis is the hope that it will restore it by playing in building their crime.
