    This feels like the best (and most obvious) move at QB.

    I wouldn't complain if Steelers signed Willis to a 1 year, prove-it contract.

    He will be available and with Tomlin and hopefully the rest of the coaching staff gone then a young offensive minded coach could do well with him.

    I’d rather see what Will Howard has to offer. Draft a QB and let Rudolph, Howard and a rookie battle it out. Draft class has a lot of talent from what I can see.

    Me personally
    I feel 100% better about upcoming draft!
    With Tomlin gone
    No Flacco
    No Cousins

    Just wait until 2027 and try to draft Arch Manning.

    Steelers need to hope Tomlin gets courted immediately. That draft capital to get him from another team would be huge.

    No retreads or ****ty QBs from other teams. If you are going to get a QB, make sure it’s someone who is decent until you groom the next guy. Whomever that is. No projects from other teams.

    That would be a win/win situation. If he plays well then great we have our QB. If not then we get a high draft pick in 2027.

    I have no problem with Rudolph, but Willis has more upside and potential. Willis, Rudolph, Howard wouldn't be awful for 2026. Draft a franchise QB in 2027 if Howard and/or Willis doesn't pan out.

    Oh @Blast Furnace@Blast Furnace......


    Malik could be on the dockett. Get him an Offensive Mind and you could have something there.

    As long it’s a free agent pick up not an acquisition.

    I personally like Chambliss from Ole Miss
    I understand we have Howard
    Do we keep Mason as our veteran qb?
    But I am 100% with you about the elderly and discarded qb situation
    Proven to be a failed experiment

    With a new coaching staff picking Chambliss makes a lot more sense now.

    Beck gets happy feet quickly when under duress
    So I would pass on him

    Khan will still be a big part of the selection process of players and coaches including head coach

    Tomlin had a lot of influence because of time served

    New guy doesn’t get that much

    And Matt LaFleur and GB having trouble ironing out a contract extension? Must be something going on there, not hard to get a deal down when there is mutual interest.

    Hire LaFleur bring Willis on board. Would love to see what LaFleur could do with Howard, too. Let the too of them battle it out and may the best man win. If they crash then you draft one in 2027. Maybe Manning :eek:

    I personally think the first 2 drafts with Khan were good
    Too early to tell on some
