I just don’t know. New coaching staff which accompanies unknowns. With no known patterns.There is 0.00000000% chance that without an off field issue a third round pick gets cut his first season... it simply doesnt happen
If the Steelers are absolutely convinced they can compete this year, and every move they made seems to support that, then its very likely that Rodgers and Rudolph will both be virtual locks as well...
Howards only path to a roster spot is either beating Rudolph convincingly to be the qb 2... and because of the experience gap, it probably means Rudolph has to look bad in the new system more-so than Howard has to look great...
That or Howard has to convince them to keep 4 qbs, which almost never happens cause there are no snaps to develop a qb 4..
The infortunate truthbright now is Allar can look like an utter bust and Howard can look like a star, and unless Rodgers gets hurt or Rudolph sucks, Howard is still getting cut
I would hope if both of their performances come out equal Howard gets the nod. As he offers better mobility and an unknown ceiling.
Fans can pound the table for vet experience but if the experience comes with a low ceiling not sure how you sign off on that again if all things are created equal at the end of camp.
