Who will be the Steelers starting QB in the 2026 season opener?

many posters seem to accept dumb theories without question.

 

Well then don’t do that

 

It didn't totally suck last season with Rodgers.

 

with the way McCarthy is talking they’ll elevate Howard to primary backup, as long as he does his part in TC and preseason. I hope its backing up MR or another vet, could be AR, although im not that crazy about seeing our steelers turning into the Packers 2.0

 

I agree the best for had last few years but old Rodgers can't take us far.

 

But neither will any of the alternatives in 2026.

 

but with Rodgers we are buying a short term solution. I'd rather a younger guy take his lumps. And I know it's way frigging early but if we did end up with AR again I'd say we would be in the thick of things in AFCN. As long as Burrow doesn't get to much help. And actually plays a full season.

 

with the way Rooney is talking i doubt MR/Howard will take the reigns. I think theres a benefit to it; we see if Howard can play and we probably get a high draft pick in 27.

 

He will be packing his walker and wheelchair...

 

I wouldn't be butthurt if in so they go with a QB in the 1st. Now with an Offensive driven Head Coach who can develop a QB.

Wait till next years crop. Then fizzle. Oh the 2028 crop is the rage! Fizzle. Hey the 2030 crop...

Its time to rip off the old Band-Aid and start anew.
