Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers are convinced that Aaron Rodgers is the missing piece in their championship puzzle. According to a report by Jeremy Fowler, the organization believes they finally have a quarterback of Ben Roethlisbergerâs caliber.
âThe Steelers do believe that theyâre getting the best field vision from the pocket theyâve had since Ben Roethlisberger. They believe heâs still got plenty of arm strength and Jetsâ coaches Iâve talked to think that he was a lot better than the stats showed last year.â
Despite the arrival of Rodgers, the Steelers are not favorites to win the Super Bowl and, in the AFC, they are far behind in projections compared to contenders like the Kansas City Chiefs or the Buffalo Bills.
Can the Steelers win the Super Bowl?
Mike Tomlin and the Steelers truly believe they can win the Super Bowl with Aaron Rodgers. Thatâs why nearly the entire offseason was focused on convincing him, even though other names were available on the market.
Obviously, the big question is how he will perform at 41 years of age and, in a topic that has been rarely discussed, the step forward the defense needs to take for the team to have a real chance, especially if Rodgers consistently delivers mistake-free games.
