    I think you're right. I haven't watched as many games as some on here, but from what I have seen, I'll take Howard with a year under Rodgers than anybody coming out this year other than Mendoza. Also, I've read they have a good relationship. Another year under Rodgers, I could see it working.

    There’s no doubt about that aspect of his game, the mental fortitude is there.

    Would not hurt. Also need an OL like OSU has that season.

    That PR line from Mcarthy talking about Howard that the team threw out there, and the mouthpieces have been running with, has been genius because so many people have bought into it, they've flipped the narrative with one little soundbite.

    I mean, the Steelers thought so much of him (for a team desperate for a QB) that they waited until the 6th round to draft him.

    Help it make sense.

    It’s very important how he ended his college career. After an overall dismal team showing (himself included) vs. Michigan in their big rivalry game, he led his team to a dominant run through the CFP. Yes, he had enormous talent around him, but he saved his best for the biggest stage and did it right after what was probably the most disappointing loss for OSU and himself in a while.

    There are/were plenty of flaws in his game to be fixed, and a 6th round pick is a lottery ticket. However, I’ll take a chance on a guy with the mental makeup and physical QB traits ranging from average to good vs. a physical monster who has shown limited ability to actually play QB (looking at you Anthony Richardson). This is the kind of guy who can make the most of the opportunity. And all I’m arguing for is to give him a chance to earn the keys, not have the keys be given to him.

    But they weren't desperate that draft. They had ARod on the hook. I'm not saying that got exactly the guy they wanted, but they had no reason to reach for a QB either. The thing with Howard is he is still unknown. You can be both hopeful and skeptical at the same time.
