Rich Eisen shuts down talk of Steelers benching Aaron Rodgers
Strong preseason outings from rookies Drew Allar and Will Howard won't impact Aaron Rodgers' starting status, according to Rich Eisen.
Pittsburgh Steelers rookie quarterback Drew Allar and second-year quarterback Will Howard have impressed fans with their preseason performances, causing speculation about who will start this season. However, veteran analyst Rich Eisen has firmly stated that there will be no benching of veteran starter Aaron Rodgers, despite his advanced age.
On his "The Rich Eisen Show," Eisen dismissed the notion that Rodgers should be replaced if his performance declines or if the young quarterbacks surpass him. He firmly stated, "That's absurd. That's just not going to happen." Eisen also noted that the strong preseason debuts of Allar and Howard validate the team's hiring of head coach Mike McCarthy, known for his success in developing quarterbacks. Rodgers remains the team's starter for the foreseeable future.
