I agree with pretty much all of what you are saying, but I do believe that being a 3rd round pick makes it a long shot for "preferential treatment" I don't think that McCarthy cares who develops. Look at Mason. He was a third round pick too and the Steelers shied away from committing to him as a starter at every turn despite being a draft pick over Hodges and then despite being in house vs. a FA when Fields/Wilson and Rodgers took over. I can agree with a preferential treatment for a first round pick, since the investment there is massive... but being a 3rd rounder means anything goes. I doubt McCarthy is going to shy away from playing the QB that's developing (if that's Howard) in favor of a 3rd round pick that isn't (Allar in this scenario).

All those guys you mentioned made more money than Mason, also Mason had been here for years. We are talking now two Qbs that haven't played one single game in the NFL. We shall see, but I've seen this throughout the NFL for many years. I just hope that it's a real competition that's all, and I promise I have no favorite.

The money is peanuts compared to each other for a qb. McCarthy also said it he was picking Howard would not have lasted to the sixth round.
