Allar, last of 30 to visit Steelers

[Drink IRON City]

Here is another piece to this. So they take a qb this year in the third or higher and dump Rudy. Rodgers plays similar, stays healthy and there is very little opportunity for anyone else. Then the 2027 draft is more QB rich.....now what?

I don’t think Aaaa-Ron’s play will merit him commanding the entire season.

I don’t want anything bad to happen to him, but injury at his age is a big possibility. Add in the throwing to the ground instead of being hit will also contribute to his benching.

I think there will be opportunity for the younger guys including to the point of Aaa-Ron not actually signing.

Rudy / Howard starting
Rudy / Howard #2
Allar #3

Could easily be a reality, but also know I wopuldn’t want Rudy the entire season starting.

I'm really getting tired of reading this. Aaron broke his hand and played thru the pain, he got hit plenty on throws to WR's. If he was throwing it into the ground, it's because the play wasn't there (ie a screen that was going no were, or to avoid a penalty because timing was off and OL were getting downfield). He definitely wasn't just dirting balls to avoid hits.

In fact, with the state of the OL, Jones being questionable to start, losing our LG in FA, and the hits he did take, I'm surprised the outlook is him coming back for another year...

I doubt Allar lasts until Rd 3.

He broke his wrist November 16th. Didn't dirt the ball here but airmailed a 3rd down pass to avoid the hit during this miserable game that occurred the week prior.

My point of “dirt” balling was just an example of the bigger picture.

He is older and last year showed his age that cost us plays.

I don’t wish anything bad on him, but it’s inevitable and I think the odds are against him for a full season.

MM is smart enough to know when to say when while my hopes are with the acceptance of that by the player.

Aaa-Ron isn’t even a rostered player.

Think about that.

I’d be for pairing our 2nd and adding a 4th or one of the 3rds, to move up if feels need be.

I feel Allar is very coachable in his foot work to upper body management. Enough so that he could pass Will Howard and actually be the starter.

I also realize MM will ultimately decide the fate of players and pecking order.

Like many here, the “As the World Turns Geriatric Version” is old and meaning-less.

Change is needed.

ADD inj that Aaaa-Ron isn’t even a rostered player.

Yeah but is AA Ron even a rostered player.

I'm okay with drafting Allar because of his tools, but he is the classic: was he born to play QB or made to be one?
