Welcome to the Steelers, Will Howard

I agree with you, mac. It's going to come down to QB play. I have little confidence in Rudolph or Thompson and Howard won't (shouldn't) see the field this season. Rodgers would give the best chance of having an offense that at least doesn't lose every game for us. OL should hopefully be improved over last season,

 

yea not many are giving mason much of a shot, and i get that. i just think these two (mason and howard) are guys capable of listening and learning to and from arth and carrying it to the field. i'm not sure we have had that until now. i don't think he is going to turn them into superstars, but QB's capable of making this a solid offense we can win with.

 

Hope you're right!

 

Wait, you mean you're allowed to throw the ball to the middle of the field????

 

So why did he drop so low

 

Seems like yesterday

 

That's above my pay grade.

 

Because Mel Kiper wouldn't shut up about Shedeur Sanders.

 

That's not going to happen.

 

Welcome.

Better prospect than KP, five rounds later, if he isn't the long-term answer, he's likely to at least be a capble back up and he was basically free, the opportunity cost with taking him was very low. He can sit and learn for a year or two, I didn't want Rodgers but will happily take him now, given that our QB powder is still dry for '26. That may not have been the case had we spent a 1st or 2nd on someone else.

I liked the draft, Harmon and DK are a very good 1st and 2nd round, considering where we picked. The players in later rounds look promising.

That offensive line investment needs to start paying off big time next season.

 

why did brady? why did antonio brown? why did ryan leaf go in the first round? why do my nuggets hang so low now days? it's the mystery of the world.

 

LOL me too.

 

I think Howard will be backup material. Sure he could start for us, but when compared to the rest of the league he's going to be in the late 20's ranking.

What any quarterback has going for them is the Steelers having meta and Pickens.

 

Pickett's good year got him to New York as a Heisman Trophy finalist.

 

You need paid better

 

Sad but true here.


I like the value the team got for Will Howard. In addition, I am a big believer in him. This Coaching Staff?! Nope.

 

Howard 6th round, Brady 6th round, coincidence, I think not. Looking forward to those 7 rings

 

Track record for developing QBs under Tomlin hasn't been great.

But you got to let them throw to the middle of the field.

The Tomlin IMO is commit no turnovers and force turnovers. That is his IMO to win.

 

I'd be OK with it but those are lofty expectations.

 

I hope the Steelers give Howard a legit chance to play,

 

He won't get much of a chance this year if Rodgers signs with the team.

 

My point exactly.


Tomlin needs to get out of his own way. For that matter, it is the only way for Arthur Smiths Offense to work. Given how often Play Action uses the MOF, relying on Moon shots repeatedly is a recipe for disaster.

 

Expectation are too high for a 6th round pick....

 

Way too high.
