Howard or Rudolph?

There is no way to know which quarterback is playing the best yet. We only hear whispers from the eyes of people who's opinions I don't fully trust.

I find it hard to believe that Allar is playing better than Rudolph this early into it. It just doesn't make sense to me. I hope Allar is an absolute stud and develops and plays out of his mind and is the future of the franchise and becomes a superstar player. But until I actually see it, I'm not buying into the talk. I like the kid and wanted the team to draft him, but he did have some significant work to do to prepare.

What I will say from just watching a few clips is that his mechanics look much better and his footwork is much quicker and much better than it ever was in college. He looked heavy footed at times, and watching what little video of his camp, his feet are moving quickly and he is resetting his feet and is ready to throw much quicker while being in better position to throw. That's great, but that with nobody trying to hit him. He is coming off a major knee injury, so there may be some fears to get over regarding defenders near his legs. That alone makes me want to see how he reacts when the action is real.

I'm rooting for Allar and Howard to do very well. It only makes the team stronger if they have multiple quarterbacks that can play. Maybe Rudolph finds an offense that fits his skill set better? Who knows? I just want to be able to see it with my own eyes to get a better idea about where all these players are mentally with the game, and physically with the mechanics and the velocity on the ball.

 

Maybe not. Allar is reported to have bad mechanics which will take some time to correct, in all likelihood, he will be a good QB in a year or two. Howard has a lot of the tangibles and a tough mental track record.

 

Um, you replied to the quotes as fake news... (see #166).

 

Only one named interceptor on Day 1 of Steelers training camp (July 29, 2026): Payton Wilson.Detailed on-site reporting (Behind the Steel Curtain and others) describes a single interception: a check-down in 7-on-7s tipped by Cole Holcomb and picked off by Payton Wilson. One recap notes Jaylen Warren as the intended target on that play. No second player is named in the available practice reports as having intercepted Allar that day.


No video of it either.

Hmmm...

 

Talk to Chris Carter if you don't believe him.

 

how do you know he will be a good Qb? Even if he has bad mechanics, if he is going to be good we should still some good decision making abilities early on, imo.

 

Basically because he has a lot of the tangible qualities in a quarterback that you look for.

 

Allar went in the third

Howard went in the sixth

32 teams/GMs/Head coaches disagree with you

 

You provide a lot of useless information. Maybe you think you are too cool to be articulate? Maybe give up the witch hunt and try communicating?

 

Forgive me for interjecting but this has been jeh's way since the dinosaurs walked the earth. If you look up "dry sense of humor" in the dictionary, you'll see a picture of Jeh's dogs. My unsolicited advice to you would be to roll with it. Hell hath no fury like the wrath of jeh.

 

It was easy to see the sense of humor, or lack thereof, but the links to nowhere which he thinks are somehow gospel are nothing but useless.

 

That’s nice

 

He's an old retired curmudgeon. Some of his favorite parts of the day are messing with youngins on here.

 

When I was in the service I was a hard driving prick, kinda like him. A Master Sargent, who I will forever be indebted to, took me aside and said "son, if the whole world has to be wrong in order for you to be right, you should think about a new approach"

 

I just have a low tolerance for trolls liars and posters who just post to get attention

 

I mean, to be fair, everyone posts for attention. It's social media.

 

I guess we will find out. Coaches say all kinds of things. He doesn't want to say he'll be cut regardless.

I like Howard, and would like to keep him. The reality is it's going to be hard to drop another skilled roster spot that could actually have an impact his year.

People hate on Mason, but the guy has experience playing against starters in this league with some success. He's pretty much a career backup at this point
