Mike McCarthy could bench Aaron Rodgers for Drew Allar amid pressure

Former NFL head coach Eric Mangini suggests that Mike McCarthy may not hesitate to bench Aaron Rodgers for rookie Drew Allar if the Steelers struggle. As Pittsburgh faces significant pressure for a successful season, McCarthy's job security could override past loyalty to Rodgers, whom he coached from 2006 to 2018. Allar's impressive preseason performance, including two touchdown passes against the Packers, adds to the narrative. While McCarthy has praised Rodgers' abilities, consistency in poor quarterback play might prompt a change if necessary. The Steelers are still evaluating their options as the season approaches.
