NFL Hall of Famer Steve Young is critical of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ match with Aaron Rodgers, who he does not see as a philosophical fit for the offense. Rodgers has become a quick-game thrower, something that Arthur Smith’s offenses do have, but Young could see the team getting too reliant on that fact and falling into mediocrity.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are finally starting to see the offense take shape now that Aaron Rodgers has signed his contract for the 2025 season. The starting quarterback is in place, and the unit as a whole must get used to playing with one another.

With Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf and Jaylen Warren replacing the combination of Russell Wilson, Justin Fields, George Pickens and Najee Harris, respectively, the task for second-year offensive coordinator Arthur Smith is to bring the entire package together by the time the Steelers take the field Sept. 7 at New York against the Jets.

According to Gerry Dulac, Smith took away Wilson’s ability to audible at the line and change route stems. That completely changed how the offense was supposed to be run and caused Smith and Wilson to clash with one another.

The Pittsburgh Steelers' offense is finally coming together. After future Hall of Fame quarterback and four-time league MVP Aaron Rodgers signed a one-year deal with Pittsburgh, the team is now expected to continue adding depth at other key offensive positions.

Maybe that's a Terry McLaurin or Jonnu Smith trade. Maybe it's Kyle Pitts. Maybe it's waiting until camp to see what comes from other contract situations or teams looking for draft capital after a bad first half of the season.
