1. The year Pickett looked good in the preseason was his 2nd year not his rookie year.
2. Pickett only threw about 18 pass that whole preseason, and I believe Allar is already close to that his 1st game.
3. Allar left pinky has more arm strength than Picketts right arm does

i dont put too much stock in arm strength. Joe Montana had average arm strength and alternatively guys like Jeff George had the greatest arm strength but George is never mentioned as a great or even good Qb. Hopefully Allar has the drive and determination to get better. Looks like he has the right HC and staff to support him.

If Rodgers were to go down who here wants to watch Rudolph over Allar???

I dont think it’s far fetched to say Allar will be ready sooner rather than later to play. I thought his mechanics would have taken much longer to lock down but he’s already done that.

A couple of scenarios that could work out in the Steelers favor is Rodgers plays well but uninspiring football, they get to week 10 in the hunt and McCarthy decides Allar is ready to take over or Rodgers gets hurt. That could give them real hope down the stretch to make some noise in the playoffs. It would probably have to be the later, would take massive cojones to bench Rodgers.

Wait, what? How did we go from Allar will sit for 2026 to Allar could start by mid season after just one half of a preseason game? And it was the back half of a preseason game.

Trajectory. I thought his mechanics would have taken longer and hes already altered them and also gave a good performance doing it. If he stays on that path why wouldnt you want to see him play. Im not claiming he would be a finished product by week 10, not saying that at all, just at a point where he wouldnt be overwhelmed.

Is that where we are with Rudolph mania? People would actually rather see him play in week 10 and not Allar? Wow.
