Does Steelers' Arthur Smith know how to UNLOCK Aaron Rodgers? Can they be AFC contenders?

from Post-Gazette Sports Network: Pittsburgh Steelers, Pirates, Penguins and more · host Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

On the Friday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Brian Batko react to the team's signing of QB Aaron Rodgers, which finally became official on Thursday. Does OC Arthur Smith have the secret to unlocking the former NFL MVP's full potential? Does he have enough weapons to work with in the form of receivers DK Metcalf, Cavlin Austin III, Roman Wilson; tight ends Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington; and running backs Jaylen Warren and Kaleb Johnson? Or will the team still need to add outside names, possibility including Keenan Allen and Amari Cooper? How much sway will Rodgers hold in the organization? Will Smith defer to him in playcalling? Will coach Mike Tomlin include his thoughts in the game plan? And will he have GM Omar Khan's ear regarding possible roster moves? Our duo tackles those questions, then ponders whether this team now has what it needs to compete with the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens to compete atop the AFC.
