Way too early look at the 2026 QB class

Oh that is why he was a 6th round pick?

 

No one cares about that what round pick someone is. A player is not his pick status.

 

Yes, Howard is much better and didn’t fold in big games.

 

I guess Michigan doesn't count?

 

Not anymore.


I cannot decide if he is the next Kerry Collins or the next Joe Flacco.


That said, James Franklin and his lack of usage of the Transfer Portal to nab more Receiving Talent is leaving Allar to look a bit worse than he already is.



I do believe he is worth the 1st Round Investment though he will need to be redshirted for certain.

 

Regarding the 2026 QB Class, the team keeps taking a look at John Mateer and Sam Leavitt. Add Dante Moore of Oregon to the list of names as well; Drew Allar likely not being left out either. It is clear to me that Pittsburgh is doing all the worthwhile research it can for the QBs. I'd be remiss if I didn't include Offensive Tackles either; Isaiah World, Spencer Fano, Caleb Lomu and Drew Shelton... to name a few.


As for where Pittsburgh scouted for Week 5 of the CFB, link is here.


This all said, I am with @S.T.D on the off chance the board doesn't break Pittsburgh's way that Cornerback will be next up. JPJ and presumably Jalen Ramsey; assuming he doesn't fall off. This is, more or less, what the Cornerback Room consist of. Brandon Echols is there too but he isn't a true Boundary Corner that the Steelers need.

 

I saw the USC QB, he needs a lot of work. The Illinois QB was very good. He looked like a man going to the NFL. His QB IQ, command of the offense, ball placement / accuracy , and arm were solid. He ran a bit too. First time watching him. There was a lot to like.

His name is LUKE ALTMYER. I now rate him among the top 8 draftable QB's, as there have been some hyped flops / disappointments this year.

 

I live in the fear thy are drafting Allar.

 

No they will not. Tomlin wants agility.

 

Careful.


Mel Keiper Jr might have another panic attack on set if that happens.

 

PSU signed 3 WR from transfer pool for 2025 season.

 

Oh please NO!

 

Or his OC?

 

I like this guy. For someone in the media he is unusually good at the specifics and can breakdown the game well. For my money John Mateer is the best QB prospect.

Enjoy draftnicks

 

This is what I was trying to say at the beginning of the year. Although that means that they will only be good for one year.
I've yet to see one Qb(the season is not over yet) that I would for sure trade away draft picks to move up , and get.

 

.. and none of them are worth a bag of chips.

 

I wouldn't be surprised. Pittsburgh's interest in Allar isn't a surprise.


That said, if Allar is to work, he would need a redshirt year for his rookie year anyhow. Allar is simply not ready for the NFL Speed of the game given the fact that he still isnt consistent enough overall currently. This all said, will Aaron Rodgers be back to give it one final go?! Way too early too tell there.


My money is still on Sam Leavitt from Arizona State. Granted, he would also need a Redshirt Season but he is far more clutch and far more mobile than Allar is.
