Training camp battles to watch:

There is 0.00000000% chance that without an off field issue a third round pick gets cut his first season... it simply doesnt happen

If the Steelers are absolutely convinced they can compete this year, and every move they made seems to support that, then its very likely that Rodgers and Rudolph will both be virtual locks as well...

Howards only path to a roster spot is either beating Rudolph convincingly to be the qb 2... and because of the experience gap, it probably means Rudolph has to look bad in the new system more-so than Howard has to look great...

That or Howard has to convince them to keep 4 qbs, which almost never happens cause there are no snaps to develop a qb 4..

The infortunate truthbright now is Allar can look like an utter bust and Howard can look like a star, and unless Rodgers gets hurt or Rudolph sucks, Howard is still getting cut
I just don’t know. New coaching staff which accompanies unknowns. With no known patterns.

I would hope if both of their performances come out equal Howard gets the nod. As he offers better mobility and an unknown ceiling.

Fans can pound the table for vet experience but if the experience comes with a low ceiling not sure how you sign off on that again if all things are created equal at the end of camp.
 
I think keeping Rudolph over Allar and Howard (assuming neither completely sucks) is a bad move with where the team is and their need for a starting QB next year. They realistically have little chance to win much this year, although a playoff win would be nice. If not, hopefully, they can finally have a losing season so they can get a better pick in the 1st round. No matter how they do it (another phantom IR move), I think Allar and Howard are both on the team.
 
i straight up prefer howard over allar. Im kinda pissed off that kaboly and writers are shoving howard off the team in lieu of allar. But mccarthy drafted allar...so,, idk.



McCarthy isn’t stupid, he won’t wave the better QB.

Drew Allar was a QB pick from a QB starved team.

Previous regime did VERY little to develop a QB plan, McCarthey addressed it immediately.

Will is getting the opportunity to show his talent, if he can not cut it then the consequences will be administered.

I love the fact for both young QBs, success or not is more competition than we’ve had in a long time.

I for one am glad Aaaa-Ron isn’t coming back next season, hopefully we go with youth (no more geriatric has beens)





Salute the nation

I wouldn’t rule it out with Rooney behind the scene mentality in regards to their yearly approach.
