    I don't think Dart prevents them from going after a QB in 26. Dart is a 3rd/4th round guy and likely the long-term backup or career bridge guy like a Brisset.

    I do like his ability to hit the middle of the field.

    Dart will go higher than expected because this is a weak QB class, I wouldn't be surprised if he's the 3rd QB drafted.

    He is not ready for the NFL especially with the
    Steelers who have no idea
    How to Develope the QB position and other positions.

    I kinda like Dart myself. But the guy I like more is Kyle McCord. I think McCord has a higher floor, but lower ceiling than Dart. McCord has a gunslinger mentality these other guys don't have. McCord has a great chance to raise his stock through this process. Milroe just impresses me less and less every film breakdahn I watch. He's a guy that would benefit by playing in Canada or the UFL and get further coaching and reps. Milroe can be great someday, but really won't get a chance to really develop in this league.

    I like Dart over McCord because he has more mobility.

    That's fair. McCord is definitely a statue

    I am seeing him and Mccord slotted in 3rd and fourth round? I like them in the 4th for developing.We get our QB in 2026 Our QB room becomes younger. Of course no Idea who
    will be our QB for 2025?

    We already have a Milroe that we could sign that has 4 years of NFL experience
    Justin Fields.

    Good gravy, at the Senior Bowl, Milroe had 8.6 inch hands. No wonder he fumbled like 9-10 fumbles and a bunch of dropped snaps. And he's only 6'1. I don't like them under 6'2.

    Like him less all the time, which virtually guarantees that they'll draft him. Probably in the first just to twist the knife.

    So again everyone, if Justin Fields Is brought back, I doubt Jalen Milroe will be the pick. Someone like Jaxson Dart or even Will Howard will make much more sense by then.

    I don't know. Considering Rooney said "I'd like to see us go in with a quarterback room, whoever it is, you kind of have two quarterbacks that can run the same system."

    That has me petrified that we're gonna be stuck with Milroe for years. The new Kordell era. The worst years of my sports life.

    I know there is a huge difference between Alabama and Liberty but this just seems like Malik Willis all over again. The reports will have the Steelers tied to Milroe the whole time and they won’t end up taking him.

    The PFF guys were saying that much of Milroe's erratic accuracy may be from his 8.6 inch hands. They said he's so twitched up, and his arm motion is so fast that he can't squeeze the ball hard enough to keep it under control. Interesting theory, there's no fix for that though.

    Wasn’t advocating taking him, I was commenting on the shape that guy is in.

    His little hands remind me of Kenny Pickett, but at least Kenny covered his hands with gloves. I don't think I have ever seen Milroe wear gloves.

    Those small hands in a wet December game in Pittsburgh, are going to be a problem.

    https://atozsports.com/nfl-draft/major-red-flag-emerges-jalen-milroe-2025-senior-bowl-alabama/
    Milroe has been credited with 16 fumbles for his career, and his struggles in a rainy bowl game against Michigan last December did nothing to help.
