Welcome to the Steelers, Will Howard

Yeah , but we didn't even want OD after his rookie contract, and He never did anything after that. At least Flacco got resigned by the team that drafted him. I'm just saying I can't consider You a franchise Qb, if the team that drafted You doesn't even resign you. JMO

 

I like Howard but much like Pickett, he only had one really good season in a 5 year time-frame.

 

I agree that O'Donnell was not a franchise QB but the question at the beginning was who the steelers developed at the QB position outside of Ben and I think O'Donnell is a good answer for that...He had his moments with us....

The reason why O'Donnell left the steelers was because he did not agree with the steelers for a contracr...He was not the only one in this situation for the steelers during this period, I think Kevin Greene had also left the steelers after 1995, Rod Woodson after 1996, etc.

 

Howard may not be the answer. We know Rudolph isn't. Both could be...passable (pun intended).

Rodgers, even at 41 or whatever is a clear upgrade for THIS season.

Why on god's green earth is Kirk Cousins still being touted as a trade option? I mean, I get the Falcons would love to dump his worthless hiney, but why would Steelers want a QB that is obviously toast? He STUNK with the Falcons, he's only a few years younger than Rodgers.

I ask because yet again, more Cousing to Steelers trade ideas are popping up post draft. If there is one QB, possibly available that I absolutely DON'T want its Cousins. I'd much rather give Howard the job and if he's awful pre-season, then let Rudolph helm the QB position. Cousins? I'd have only considered him if the Falcons ate half the contract remainging AND sent us their 2026 first round pick. Sadly they no longer have that, so NO THANKS.

I hope these Cousins sugestions or theories (not rumors) are just Falcons fans hoping to dump him for minimal cost to the Falcons. Good luck with that.
