The Pittsburgh Steelers ended up needing QB Aaron Rodgers to be fantastic in his debut. And he was exactly that, completing over 70 percent of his passes for 244 yards and four touchdowns. Despite the Steelers’ struggles on defense, Rodgers led the Steelers to a 34-32 win over the New York Jets.
Understandably, Rodgers is receiving a lot of praise for his performance. But what about the man in charge of coming up with the scheme and calling plays? Does offensive coordinator Arthur Smith deserve some of that praise?
“I think Artie Smith isn’t getting enough credit for being able to design an offense, at least play calling yesterday that was very successful,” Steelers insider Mark Kaboly said Monday on The Fan Morning Show.
