Yahoo Sports NFL on Aaron Rodgers
From the article
Aaron Rodgers' box score line wasn't very pretty – 24 of 40 passing for 221 yards and a touchdown. That's an inefficient 5.5 yards per attempt...He looked comfortable back in the McCarthy system that he knows so well from his Green Bay days.
STACKED’s take
Rodgers' 5.5 yards per attempt debut was inefficient but showed system comfort and downfield accuracy.
Rodgers completed 24 of 40 passes for 221 yards and one touchdown with an inefficient 5.5 yards per attempt in his Steelers debut. The source notes his box score line wasn't pretty and evokes his conservative results under Arthur Smith last season, though film showed he put downfield passes on target that receivers failed to catch. He looked comfortable in the McCarthy system from his Green Bay days, knew where the ball needed to go, and was not overly reliant on running backs in the passing game like he was last season when Kenneth Gainwell dominated targets. The source assesses that while not MVP-level, this kind of effort will work more weeks than it won't.
