ESPN analyst labels Steelers' Rodgers rerun definition of insanity

Kevin Clark of ESPN said the Pittsburgh Steelers are repeating a mistake by planning another season with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback.

Clark made the comments on ESPN’s NFL Live on May 22. He said Rodgers ranked 27th in the league in deep-ball completion percentage last season and threw shorter passes than anyone else. Clark added that the quarterback got rid of the ball quicker than any other passer and had more throws under 10 yards than anyone in the last five years. He concluded there was little hope for improvement in 2026.
