Steelers' Aaron Rodgers Gives Fans An Honest Update On 'Struggling Offense'

Rodgers addressed the media on Wednesday and gave his thoughts on how things are progressing. He admitted that the offense is still working through some issues but remained confident in the overall direction. According to Rodgers, the process of building chemistry takes time, and early struggles are part of the journey. Despite the bumps in the road, he believes the offense has the pieces to come together when it matters most. He also thinks the offense has started to gain some momentum lately.

"The last three or four days have been much better," Rodgers told the Pittsburgh media. "Our defense you know it is, obviously we have a lot of pieces to it. Always early in camp when the pads go on, the defense seems to have the upper edge, but in the second week it starts to turn a little bit. I feel like we have been playing a lot better the last week and a half."

Rodgers got off to a shaky start in Steelers camp, with his very first pass in team drills resulting in an interception. While the moment raised a few eyebrows, it did not cause real concern. 

Even the most elite quarterbacks make mistakes in August, especially when adjusting to a new system and working with unfamiliar teammates. It is still unclear what is truly behind the offense’s early struggles. It could be a matter of growing pains with a new playbook, or it could simply be that the defense is already playing at a high level.

It is difficult to say just how much the offense has or has not been struggling, but Rodgers remains confident that things are heading in the right direction. The Steelers defense looks strong and fully capable of leading the team into playoff contention. The bigger question lies with the offense. If this group can finish somewhere in the top 15 across the league, the team’s chances of making a deep postseason run increase significantly.

Steelers Do Not Need MVP Aaron Rodgers In 2025

The Steelers do not need Rodgers to return to MVP form, and they do not need the offense to be among the best in the NFL. What they need is an offense that can sustain drives, protect the football, and find the end zone when it matters. With a dominant defense on the other side of the ball, a steady and efficient offensive performance may be more than enough to turn this team into a legitimate Super Bowl threat.

Hearing an update from Rodgers about the state of the offense is good news for Steelers fans. Naturally, if the offense isn't thriving, the fan base and media will be concerned. However, there is still plenty of time before the season starts for this offense to find its rhythm, and Rodgers remains confident that it will.
