Nick Wright, on the show First Things First, expressed doubts about Aaron Rodgers' ability to replicate Tom Brady's late-career success with the Pittsburgh Steelers. At 43, Rodgers faces significant challenges, not only due to his age but also because the Steelers may not be strong enough to make his final season feel meaningful. Wright pointed out that Brady's exceptional performance at an older age is not the norm, and expecting Rodgers to follow suit is a dangerous expectation. He noted that Rodgers has not won a playoff game since January 2021, highlighting a concerning trend of playoff drought. Wright's skepticism is rooted in the belief that while Rodgers may provide competent quarterback play, it may not be sufficient to position the Steelers as Super Bowl contenders. Without tangible success in January, comparisons to Brady become increasingly tenuous.
