Steelers Rodgers Performance: A Mixed Bag for 2025 Season
The Pittsburgh Steelers reliance on veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the 2025 season yielded promising results, with 24 touchdowns and 7 interceptions, earning him a 94.8 passer rating. However, this performance was not enough to break the teams cycle of mediocrity, as they secured a playoff spot but fell short in early wild card exits.
With Mike Tomlins departure and Mike McCarthys arrival as the new head coach, theres renewed optimism for the Steelers. Fans are eager for a change, as the roster is built for mediocrity without a long-term quarterback solution.
Rodgers continued presence in 2026 provides a window for the Steelers to draft a young developmental prospect, like Alabamas Ty Simpson, and let him learn under a seasoned starter. This strategy avoids the risks of free agency splurges or a full rebuild, offering the franchise a genuine chance to secure a top-tier quarterback and escape their good-but-not-great status.
