    Always hard to know what the progression is and where the QB is looking at any specific time.

    If Rudolph stays on the roster his only value is being a vet backup with experience.

    And they sucked

    They caught a lot of flak for drafting him but it was a good move. Going into the season with a 38 year old with a balky back, good idea to have someone that can give you a shot at still winning. If Simpson is that guy.

    Drafting a WR or some other skill position wont do diddly squat for you if Stafford goes down.

    Bennett will likely be Stafford's backup this season and Puka is dealing with an injury, for a team that is all in this year drafting another WR helps them more.

    I’ve never missed a single Steelers game this century. And comparing Big Ben to Drew Allar is as ignorant and dumb as they get. Now, go sit down over there and don’t post again.

    In this age of
    I want it now
    Not
    Tomorrow
    Ask yourself about the quality of player you are getting
    Or
    The lack thereof
    Let these qbs learn

    I mean, the main difference being that Allar stood out against all the guys getting cut and Johnson was a non-factor against the guys getting cut. It shows that Allar is at least good enough to warrant a spot right away, while Johnson might just be good enough to be a practice squad guy. What a rough miss there.

    It was very surprising that Allar looked good with his footwork. He had one or two where he got a little sloppy, but overall it was really intriguing. He had a LOT to work on to be an NFL caliber QB, but it looks like the coaching took well. I hope that it continues, because he certainly doesn't have to work on his arm strength.

    Its a good stat, but not everything. The list of guys that were the best are a mixed bag imo. All of them are at least average QB's, but only Allen on that list is a top tier QB.

    Purdy
    Nix
    Mayfield
    Lawrence
    Jones
    Prescott
    Love
    Allen

    Johnson was in Tomlin's dog house last year, and it looks like he might be in McCarthy's dog house this year. Not a good sign for him.

    Slow down. While Franklin was conservative at PSU let’s stop acting like Allar just went 13-0 as a rookie.
