2026 Draft note
The reunion with Mike McCarthy and the Pittsburgh supporting cast gives Rodgers his most familiar situation since Green Bay, but the efficiency metrics from his first two years back haven't justified much more than a streaming quarterback. He's finished QB16 and QB18 overall in back-to-back seasons at 14.5 and 13.9 points per game–QB23 and QB27 on a per-game basis–and his advanced metrics reflect exactly what those numbers suggest: 44th percentile in both EPA per dropback and CPOE, dead average efficiency from a player who was once elite. Pittsburgh has 102 vacated WR targets (44.3% of WR volume), and pairing DK Metcalf with Michael Pittman and rookie Germie Bernard gives Rodgers a decent set of options to throw to. McCarthy's system historically generates passing volume, and if the Steelers' offense leans into Rodgers' arm more than the previous regime, there's a path to high-end QB2 production, though I’m not holding my breath.
