[Schefter] Aaron Rodgers has been pushing to play Sunday vs. the Bears, but Steelers doctors have been more cautious and guarded, per sources. If the decision is left to Rodgers, he will play, but the team has declined to provide hints as to its final decision.

What did scouts see in JJ McCarthy?

As a senior, he was only allowed to throw 22 times per game. Averaging out to 16/22 for 199.4 yards and 1.5 touchdowns. His absolute best game was vs Michigan State where he went 21/27 for 287 yards and 4 touchdowns.

For comparison, the other QBs in his draft class averaged:

Jayden Daniels: 19/27 for 317.7 yards and 3.3 TD

Drake Maye: 22/35 for 300.7 yards and 2 TD

Bo Nix: 26/33 for 322 yards and 3.2 TD

Caleb Williams: 22/32 for 302.75 yards and 2.5 TD

He was bailed out by handing the ball off almost 40 times per game and a defense that allowed just 10.4 points and 247 yards of offense.
