The Pittsburgh Steelers are counting on Aaron Rodgers and new head coach Mike McCarthy as they head into the season. NFL analyst Brad Gagnon has ranked the team's 'panic meter' at 9/10, indicating high concerns about their Super Bowl prospects. While Rodgers recorded 3,322 passing yards and 24 touchdowns last season, Gagnon warns that the team lacks the potential to make a deep playoff run. Fans seem aware of the limitations, with Gagnon suggesting that their window for success is narrowing as Rodgers, 42, tries to lead the team.
