    Yes, it's a bad draft for QBs.

    Howard was there so the Steelers said why not it's only the 6th round. I would only draft Simpson, Allar or Beck if they are available in the 5th or later. There is no definite answer at QB, unless Howard turns out to be something. As for veterans, Flacco, Cousins and Garoppolo are available. If the Steelers badly want a veteran then they should grab whichever is the cheapest.

    I have a feeling that many people will say it was a bad pick if it doesn't work out, and not he couldn't develop him.
    That's my problem with Simpson not enough playing time, and looked bad in the big games.
    My problem with Nussmeier is he was supposed to have this great processor, and I didn't see it.

    Interesting thought. I’m going to have to do a deeper dive into Beck.

    Boy not me give me a Joe Montana or Tom Brady any day over physical freaks like Anthony Richardson or Justin Fields.

    Bloggers just making up stuff the Steelers go to Georgia every year because they have a loaded roster, they saw Allar at the Combine and can have him come for a pre-draft visit.

    Why would he have to go to Georgia to talk Kirby Smart

    He could just pick up the phone

    He went to see players and talk to them

    Of course they went to see other players but as an aside talking to Kirby would be smart. Dont know about you but I prefer in person meetings to read people.

    Who knows, MM isn’t Tomlin, hes not burning up the trail to go to these pro days, getting to talk to Kirby could have been an added factor to choosing to go to that pro day instead of elsewhere.

    Of course. But those dudes are not in this draft class. Not even close. If my choices are KP 2.0 or MAC Jones 1.2; that’s not a choice.

    The dude whose name sounds like a bad German light beer and the dude from Bama or even Beck are super behind where Brady and Montana were when they came out. And all three are older, I believe.

    Hard Pass on the lot of them.

    That is a reasonable addendum.

    As long as they are being viewed as pushing Rudolph for his roster spot more than being the 2026 starter...why not? They have a bazillion picks.

    Beck seems like a guy who can be a solid backup and spot starter for years. Maybe that’s worth a 3rd or a 4th, but you can also get those guys cheap as FAs - see Rudolph. My concern is that they would try to get one of those guys and develop him thinking he can be a starter. I just don’t see it.

    Agreed. And that is my worry as a fan. I just would rather watch Howard or Old Man River in 2026. At least I can hope that 2027 brings something better.

    I do not know if I have the patience to watch Carson Beck for 3 years.

    That is a well known fear.
    You can bet the higher the pick, the longer they will try.

    Beck does some great things, but he does some damn awful things also, and some of those things won't work without having some of the best talent available for him. Of course if they pick him , I hope I'm totally wrong about him, and everyone can say, boy you were sure wrong, and he's awesome.

    Time to put Old Man Rogers out to pasture. He screwed around last year until he finally signed, just as the Steelers were in process of moving on. Well guess what, Seymour....Old Man Rogers is at it again, stringing the Steelers along for another season. Dump this chump.
