ESPNのケビン・クラーク氏は、ピッツバーグ・スティーラーズがアーロン・ロジャースをクォーターバックとして起用し、再び同じシーズンを過ごそうとしているのは過ちの繰り返しであると指摘した。
クラーク氏は5月22日に放送されたESPNの番組「NFL Live」でこの見解を述べた。同氏によると、ロジャースは昨シーズン、リーグのロングパス成功率で27位に沈み、他の誰よりも短いパスを選択していたという。さらに、同選手は他のどのクォーターバックよりもボールを手放すのが早く、過去5年間で10ヤード未満のパスの数が最多であったと指摘。結論として、2026年シーズンに改善の兆しが見える可能性は極めて低いと語った。
