Prediction: Beck will be a Steeler

Quote me correctly please.

I said he was slug like. Not a slug.

 

Is he bringing his two turntables and a microphone?


My apologies...

 

Oh, he's definitely a fit in a west coast system... its just whether or not he has the upside in the league to be a starter. I am not sure that he does.

He turned it over a lot less in 2023 than 2024 and 2025, but I am not sure that has to do with the injury... because he was turning it over at double the clip in 2024 before his injury. Whether or not it was more lively before the injury, its not particularly strong now. Maybe he gets a small bit back, maybe not. Either way, I wouldn't bet on it before day 3. If we take him in the 4th round or later, then whatever. Those picks rarely pan out anyways. I just don't think he's worth one of our day 2 picks.

We have a good developmental QB prospect already with size, an average arm, and some decent development to be had. I am not really sure what value drafting Beck brings us. If all goes well, I could see Beck becoming a decent NFL back up, but why go for that when we are already developing one we hope is a good back up/starter eventually? Beck is probably better than Howard in the quick game, but Howard is going to get the ball downfield better than Beck and he is a natural leader where Beck.... isn't, to say the least.

 

Man... these are writing themselves.

So, you're saying someone should kill him? LOL

 

No skirt chasing QB that liked to party all night ever won a championship. Wait I guess Bobby Layne won 3, Joe Namath pulled off the biggest upset in Superbowl history, Kenny Stabler would stumble in hungover and then go out and throw 3 TD's on his way to a Superbowl title and the Hall of Fame and Big Ben won 2 Lombardi's while chasing hot girls and out partying all night. And it should be noted that once Ben got married and settled down he never won another title.

 

Rudy sucks donkey balls.

Howard v Beck v Haynes King (late round flier), and let those three shake out.

Rudolph only as emergency QB3.

 

I'd be fine if they draft Allar or Nussmeir or Beck in rd 3/4 and add Haynes King round 5/6 (if there). Haynes King is very mobile, exceptionally tough, a leader and only some mediocre passing fundamentals hold him back from being round 1/2. If you think you can smooth things out, he could be a late round stud. Even with his subpar fundamentals, he was still quite effective passing the ball, though in some cases shrewd OC play-calling got hime some good looks. He throws WELL on the move too.

As I said, he's a later round flier and I hope the Steelers take that shot, lots of upside there if we have a QB coach worth a darn.

Have Howard (unkown) v Allar/Nussmeir/Beck v King duke it out in practice, pre-season and, hopefully roll with those three on the QB depth chart. See if you can get a 5th round pick for Rudolph...doubtful.
