Yahoo Sports NFL on Aaron Rodgers
From the article
"Rodgers was actually very accurate down the field. The throws that were not completed because of a non-call or that were dropped down the field were on the money." Jordan acknowledged that his analysis may come off as biased toward his older brother, but added that Aaron and McCarthy are still figuring things out with a skill group that has been limited thus far.
STACKED’s take
Rodgers was accurate downfield in Week 1; drops and miscalls masked explosive potential.
Jordan Rodgers (ESPN Steelers Yahoo Sports Nfl and Aaron's brother) argues that despite the Steelers' 20-3 Week 1 loss to New England and their 31st-ranked scoring offense, Aaron Rodgers was "very accurate down the field" and the offense was "a few drops and a few missed calls away from being absolutely explosive like we haven't seen out of the Steelers in a really long time." Jordan frames the slow start as a feeling-out process between Rodgers and Mike McCarthy in their second iteration together, noting that skill-group limitations (no Michael Pittman, DK Metcalf underperforming, no other complementary options) are masking Rodgers' actual performance and that improvement is coming with patience.
