Since last Sunday, Mike Tomlin has continuously faced questions about Aaron Rodgers following the star quarterbackās poor performance for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.
Obviously, the most frequent question is whether the head coach is concerned long-term about what Rodgers showed, especially inside the pocket. āSunday Night was what it was, but I have no long-term reservations about his ability to play the position and play the position at a high level for us.ā
The Steelers signed Rodgers thinking he was the missing piece to win the Super Bowl. However, the team overall has been very inconsistent, and although they lead the AFC North, they are about to be caught by the Ravens.
Who is Steelersā starting QB?
Aaron Rodgers is the Steelersā starting quarterback, and although what happened in Los Angeles has caused a lot of uncertainty, Mike Tomlin has complete confidence that the veteran will bounce back in Week 11 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
When a reporter asked him if Rodgersā level of experience gave him the same sort of confidence in the veteranās ability to personally rebound, this was the head coachās response.
āIām not lacking confidence. I donāt need a pat on the back. We stunk it up. Weāll be back. Iām not trying to frame it in any way. Iām just telling you guys what happened. You guys write the narrative.ā
