Realistic 2022 QB Options

Yullllpppppp

 

This is his last year on the current contract. Read an article where he did even try ext. talks as they were CAP strapped and this year the CAP is expected to go up. The Raiders have his rights for this year and can tag him after that. The new regime coming in may want to move on, but I do not think they will do so without an option in place. There are far worse QBs than Carr, and his Cao hit is really not that bad this year at just under 20 million.

 

LoL

 

You would think so by the stuff being said that they don't believe in Him, but it also could be a smoke screen so everyone thinks We will go after a Qb in the draft. At this point I have No clue. What's what.

 

All this talk about Haskins and Rudolph, no mention of Dobbs.
Keep Canada for 2022, make the brilliant Dobbs some sort of Offensive Assistant.
When Canada is gone for 2023, promote Dobbs to Offensive Coordinator. At least there will be some well thought out play calls.

 

Players can say all they want, they're not the ones making the decisions. So I wouldn't read too much into this at all.

 

Dobbs is a guy Tomlin should be developing as a coach, similar to when Noll developed Dungy. I love Dobbs brain, but if the Steelers bring him on staff he needs to start out as an offensive quality control assistant, then the following year as a position coach. Let him grow as a coach before making him a coordinator.

 

You can’t let a good mind like that go.
Make him the CAP guy Hahahahahahaha!

 

Was this supposed to be on green as sarcasm? One play has been attributed that Dobbs had a thought on. One 3rd down pass against the Raiders has been his success on the field..and some how he has become the legend coach of the future.

 

Every statement is going to get oversrutinized. He said it's above his pay grade. What I heard is nothing about confidence or lack there of, just facts. He admires that a guy in his 4rh year still puts in a lot of effort, the job is not getting handed to him. MR is the only QB under contract, of course they are bringing somebody else in..probably Haskins and 2 others beside that.

Can someone explain to me why it seems they have given up on Rudolph even though he has hardly played? I know he hasn't looked great but neither has any part of the Steelers offense since he's been here. It has seemed to me that as soon as he arrived the narrative began "He's not the answer"...

It has always come off as strange to me.

 

You think the players are participating in a smokescreen? That seems like a bit of a stretch. I doubt the players would be happy about showing that kind of lack of faith in Rudolph if they actually believed in him.

 

Actually, the third-down play was against the Ravens. It was his only play that game, if I remember correctly. He sucked when he played most of a half against the Raiders, his only significant playing time in a meaningful situation in his career.

 

The 49ers may have won, but Garoppolo showed why he isn't a great option tonight. He made some absolutely terrible decisions, including a killer interception right before the half.

 

Correct. Dobbs accomplishments are not that memorable, eh? Lol

 

It's been said 1,000 times but I agree that Derek Carr may be the best, most affordable option out there. Obviously, Aaron Rodgers would be the golden nugget, but Carr gives the Steelers a fantastic shot to win and won't eat up their cap like No. 12. And let's face it, no way Rodgers is coming to Pittsburgh.

Trade for Derek Carr, improve the line through free agency + draft, re-sign JuJu, add a few pieces to plug various holes and you're ready to roll.

Otherwise, it's Mason, Jimmy-G, Winston, Cousins?

Of note, I'm pretty confident they find someone in the draft. I like Sam Howell a lot. He's got the intangibles.

 

Haskins is just a headcase but I agree that I'm unsure why everyone writes him off as if he's not talented. At least give him a shot now that he's been in the system a while.

 

This is literally what I've been thinking and afraid to say. He'd be masterful here.

 

Nobody besides a few people on this board and Mike Tomlin want to see Rudolph start a game.

He’s not even CFL level starter.

 

Why I said I have No clue. Just stuff that was flying around in My head at the time. I'm on this Message board....so I threw it out there.
