But for as many doubters as Rodgers has, he seemingly has one big believer in former Steelers head coach Bill Cowher, who led Pittsburgh to 149 wins, 10 playoff appearances, eight division titles, six AFC Championship Game appearances, two Super Bowl appearances, and one Super Bowl championship during his 15-year tenure with the team.

Bill Cowher mentions the idea of a "degree of urgency" to make this work .... but also warned of the need for patience with Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers.

Rodgers had 28 touchdowns to 11 interceptions in 2024. He went just 5-12 in his starts with the Jets, and even after they acquired Davante Adams, they went just 3-8. It was a tough season for Rodgers, who also had multiple leg injuries.
