The Official Steelers Training Camp Thread 2026 the new era begins

The steelers record of failure at acquiring and/or developing QB talent not named Ben over the past 20 years is pretty damning, IMO. Hopefully that changes with the new regime. I'll remain bearish until we actually see something different. All that said, I'm doubtful that Rudolph could ever have become a franchise QB or even a legit starter for that matter with a good QB developer and system like it appears to be happening in Pittsburgh now. I just don't think MR has the skills and abilities and never has.

 

Hmm.
Was that what I said??
I believe what I said was Muth caught a pass 5 inches from a TD, and lost yards. Do You think Washington couldn't have scored there??

 

Change of heart.
Just last week You said He would play because McCarthy said he would, and I believe you said how else would Rodgers get the practice, or some such thing.

 

LoL.
250 Qbs have been drafted in the last 10 years, and because we didn't develop a great one our coaches were stupid. Do You people think before you write, or hear what's coming outta your mouths/fingers.
I would say with 250 Qbs being drafted in the last 10 years, and more than half the league is still looking for a good one, Id gather that many coaches are having trouble developing them.
LoL

 

I believe I said it would be interesting to see who won that battle

I did say if Rodgers played why he would play

Both are correct

 

I also don't think Mason would have been a Franchise Caliber QB myself but I also don't think he would have been nearly as bad as he has shown had he had the support that Drew and Will do now. Again though, all speculation and there will never be a correct answer to this. Just feel bad for him is all.


Seems like a good dude overall.

 

I wasn't downing on Muth, different specialists for different things.

 

Sorry my bad, and I apologize. I misunderstood what You said

 

Has there ever been a QB that left the Steelers and went on to a great career as a number one QB? Maybe Unitas? Len Dawson was drafted number one back in the late 50s I believe so there's another one. However that was a long time ago and not relevant to this era. So maybe we didn't have a QB with the skills needed to develop into a franchise @B. Ben and Terry. That's pretty much it.

Why have they not been practicing? I hope if one of these players happens to get hurt
that they remember they could have been hardening these muscles by practicing.
I hope the press calls them out if this should happen.

 

Yes. No excuses from them, they should be practicing and taking contact.
