Pros / cons +
Pros
- Confirmed Week 1 starter, no QB competition (Steelers Depot/CBS, Aug 2026)
- Reunited with Mike McCarthy, his old Packers-era HC, positive scheme-fit/communication signal
- Upgraded weapons: DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman, Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington
- 2025 CPOE/completion% (65.7%) at 5-year high -- sticky skill signal even amid scheme change
- O-line ascending (PFF 21st to 8th by end of 2025), reduces pressure-to-sack risk
Cons
- Age 42 with 21 years experience -- mobility/arm-strength decline risk, near-zero rushing floor post-Achilles
- Recurring hamstring injury limited him through much of 2025 (soft-tissue recurrence risk ~38%)
- New OC Angelichio (no NFL playcalling history) and new HC McCarthy replace a scheme that produced Rodgers' best 2025 efficiency -- scheme uncertainty
- 2025 TD rate and league-low INT rate (7) are due for regression toward league mean
- O-line still ranked as low as 23rd (USA Today) for 2026; rookie OT Iheanachor injured in camp
