Aaron Rodgers is the best quarterback the Steelers have had since Ben Roethlisberger, and Bill Cowher sees them recognizing that. Last season, the quarterback’s level of autonomy in the offense emerged as a hot topic with Russell Wilson. Many have shared their thoughts on that subject moving forward, but Cowher’s voice is notable.
Asked if the Steelers should give Aaron Rodgers as much freedom as they did Ben Roethlisberger, Cowher said on the Dan Patrick Show, “Absolutely. I don’t think there’s any question about it”. Cowher, of course, drafted Roethlisberger, but only coached him through his first three seasons.
