Aaron Rogers BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Aaron Rodgers recently led the Pittsburgh Steelers to a 3 1 start including a win over his former team the New York Jets. That headline alone has brought out legions of Jets fans and media voices, many of whom are parading their “I told you so” signs across social media arguing the Jets should have kept the 41 year old Rodgers. Yet the consensus among football analysts is that Pittsburgh’s strong opening is more about their defense and turnover margin than anything spectacular from Rodgers himself. According to Jets X Factor, Rodgers’ current stats tell only part of the story. He’s piled up eight touchdowns against three interceptions with a ninth best NFL passer rating but advanced metrics and expert breakdowns reveal a heavily conservative approach. Rodgers now averages the lowest depth of target among all starters, is quickest to release the ball and has thrown just eleven passes over ten air yards—a mere three per game. Pro Football Reference pegs his bad throw rate at middling and his turnover worthy throws at seventh worst in the league. Steelers writers at Yardbarker and the Post Gazette add Rodgers is showing neither the risky gunslinger heroics nor the pinpoint intermediate accuracy that once defined his career. He has matched his low number of “big time throws” with a worrying spike in risky throws and the team’s win loss success is masked by a league leading turnover margin rather than Rodgers’ brilliance. In terms of social media buzz, analyst Michael Nania called out two dropped interceptions by Jets DBs in their recent matchup and fans continue to debate whether Rodgers or New York’s new starter Justin Fields is the superior upgrade. Paul Zeise’s regular mailbag on the Post Gazette has been swamped with questions about whether Rodgers has fully jelled with Steelers teammates and how much control he has over play calling. Insider Ray Fittipaldo told 93.7 The Fan that Pittsburgh’s offense is sputtering partially because of receiving injuries but also due to difficulties getting the ball to star target DK Metcalf and Rodgers’ lack of deep threats behind him. On the business and trade rumor front Pro Football Network reported the Steelers may pull off a trade at the deadline to bring in a touchdown scoring wide receiver to better support Rodgers in a potential Super Bowl run. In terms of public appearances Rodgers remains visible at Steelers practices and gets mention for his lightning quick release but there’s no indication yet of major endorsements or off field business moves dominating headlines. National commentator Colin Cowherd stepped in to defend Rodgers against a recent extremely low Pro Football Focus grade suggesting the veteran simply has to do more with less in Pittsburgh’s system. As the Steelers head into their bye week speculation continues around whether Rodgers can re develop his chemistry with his new team and push past the limitations of age and roster depth. For now the most significant developments revolve around Rodgers’ middling individual play boosted by a defense heavy Steelers squad and ongoing discussions about whether the Jets or Steelers truly “won” the off season quarterback swap. There are no confirmed controversies or major non football news for Rodgers in the last several days and most headlines center on his performance nuances and Steelers’ strategic moves.
