    Not following the logic. We entered the draft with a glaring QB need. We waited until the 6th round to draft Howard. The evidence strongly suggests that our brass saw Howard as a 6th round talent. This is different from the Rudolph situation where we had a franchise QB in place and weren’t going to spend a 1st rounder on a QB.

    No of course not, there are no professional opinions. They are not professionals.

    I do not see it like that. The brass was all in on Rodgers even though Rodgers was not signed. They had Rudolph signed. The plan was already in to improve the rest of the team. Khan took when it fit him.

    So what's the problem?? I maybe don't understand, and You aren't complaining, if so , my bad , and I apologize.
    We are in a good position this year with Rodgers, and Mason. Let's worry about next year, next year.

    I see it as being in a good position with the QB room. Mike decides who plays because he sets the course for Super Bowl run. He can choose Rodgers, I am fine with whoever he chooses.
    From a GM position, Khan provided him excellent options for this year and beyond. If I was the GM, I would not do that. I would not give him the Rodgers option. That is because we are not the Packers, we are not grooming young quarterbacks behind a veteran. Eventually we will have to play a young quarterback for that first year. I would always do that first rather than sign Rodgers.

    I think The Rodgers option is good for a rookie QB. Learn behind a very savvy vet for 1 year and don’t get thrown to the wolves too soon. I think too many young QBs get ruined by being put into tough situations before they’re ready.

    Yes, that is another way to look at it. I do not trust it though because we do not execute these transitions like that.
    Also, another way to look at it is as you said, they do not view Howard as heir apparent and will draft a QB when that time comes. I do not agree with that.

    Disagree...Rodgers gives the Steelers the best chance to win today. Zero chance I pass on that to give a random rookie a shot. If Steelers had the #1 draft pick or something and had a clear QB of the future, fine, but that wasn't even close to being the case.
