Aaron Rodgers won't make his Steelers debut in Pittsburgh just yet. Coach Mike Tomlin says Rodgers and other top starters will sit out the preseason opener against Jacksonville.

Rodgers is right. While there are some clear benefits to preseason football (like going against someone other than your teammates), there isn't a lot that can be gained if you're a player of Rodgers' caliber. As Rodgers stated, offenses aren't facing defenses that are game-planning against them, and vice versa.
