Pittsburgh Steelers' Offensive Trio Ranked a Bottom-5 Unit in the NFL
Pittsburgh Steelers' Offensive Trio Ranked a Bottom-5 Unit in the NFL originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Pittsburgh Steelers did not have a great contingency plan in place if Aaron Rodgers chose not to sign with the Steelers. Luckily for the Steelers, Rodgers agreed to come to Pittsburgh on Thursday. Advertisement If Rodgers opted to go elsewhere or retire from football, it would have either been career backup Mason Rudolph or rookie Will Howard taking starting snaps under center; neither an ideal option. The Steelers have some decent skill talent around Rodgers. The offseason acquisition of DK Metcalf gives the Steelers a No. 1 option, despite trading away George Pickens. Robert Woods has been a steady contributor as a wideout for over a decade, and with the departure of Najee Harris, Jaylen Warren will finally take the reigns as the lead back for the Steelers. SI ranked each NFL team's top offensive triplets prior to the Rodgers' news, assuming that Mason Rudolph would be the starting quarterback, paired with Warren and Metcalf. The Steelers' trio ranked as a bottom-five unit in the NFL, with the No. 28 ranking. "Pittsburgh will shoot up the rankings if Aaron Rodgers joins the Black & Gold,'' the site wrote. "Rudolph is holding this offense back as he's a good backup but a poor starting option. Warren is a better back than some realize, having rushed for 4.3 YPC last year on 120 attempts. Metcalf is an enormous acquisition, coming off a year in Seattle where he posted 66 receptions for 992 yards over 15 games." Advertisement The real question is: with Rodgers, how much would the Steelers move up in this ranking? They rank right behind Indianapolis' Anthony Richardson, Jonathan Taylor and Michael Pittman Jr., New York's Justin Fields, Breece Hall and Garrett Wilson, and Denver's Bo Nix, RJ Harvey, and Courtland Sutton. Pittsburgh likely clears Indiana, but it's hard to argue they'd jump the Jets. Wilson is one of the NFL's best young receivers, and Breece Hall has been a scrimmage-yard machine since entering the NFL. Fields brings down New York's ranking, but after Rodgers' 5-12 campaign for the Jets, it's hard to imagine he'd bump the Steelers up a ton, especially with Warren coming off a down year in terms of production and efficiency.

Ryan Clark Tempers Expectations After Steelers Sign Aaron Rodgers
Ryan Clark Tempers Expectations After Steelers Sign Aaron Rodgers originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Pittsburgh Steelers are undeniably a better team than they were in the months before signing Aaron Rodgers. Advertisement On Thursday, the league's least entertaining quarterback chase came to an end. Rodgers has emerged from the darkness of the offseason with a newfound will to play, and Pittsburgh has long been the only destination that makes sense. Fans are understandably split on one of the league's most polarizing passers. Rodgers has never shied away from controversy, and his outspoken nature has rubbed many the wrong way. Yet, it's obvious he gives the Steelers a level of potency that Mason Rudolph doesn't. Perhaps one's view of Rodgers lies in whether he can truly forge a deep playoff run with Pittsburgh's roster. Ryan Clark doesn't see that happening. On 'SportsCenter,' the former Steelers star slowed the hype on Pittsburgh's chances after the Rodgers signing. Advertisement "This is the worst case scenario for Pittsburgh Steelers fans," Clark said. "[Rodgers] continues to keep you mired in mediocrity... Will they contend for that championship that Pittsburgh Steelers people and fans and the organization think is the standard? No, they won't. "They'll be fighting for a wild-card spot, they'll probably be home Week 1 of the playoffs and again be looking for a franchise quarterback. If you told me you were going to pair one of this era's greatest coaches with one of this era's greatest quarterbacks, I'd expect greatness. That is not what we'll get. Maybe six years ago, but not now." To an extent, Clark is right. Rodgers, coming off a poor season with the New York Jets, isn't likely to end Pittsburgh's playoff-win drought. He's the next chapter in the Steelers' trek through quarterback purgatory. Yet, there is upside in the unknown, and the Pittsburgh faithful will be grateful to avoid 17 games of backup-level quarterbacking. There's a chance he exceeds expectations and ends his career on a high note, and it's easy to convince oneself that a strong defense with an adult under center could lead to success. Advertisement Given Clark's history with Rodgers, we won't expect a change of tune anytime soon, but this fanbase will cherish the Canton-bound quarterback like a champion if he pulls off anything close.
