    The QB depth behind Ben doesn't exactly strike fear in defensive coordinators' collective hearts, yet Lynch couldn't even fight his way onto the practice squad - and this guy was a first-rounder. This just reinforces the perception that John Elway is a phenomenally bad evaluator of QB prospects not named, 'John Elway'.

    It's Officially Time to Give Up on Paxton Lynch

    These guys gave up on Lynch 2 years ago. Maybe the Arena League is next?

    Re: Josh Dobbs is back!

    Looking past this season this QB room is not good. Currently, Ben is a cap hit of $24M, and due $41M next year. We all seem certain this is going to get extended but how does that play out?

    https://www.behindthesteelcurtain.co...burgh-steelers

    Mason Rudolph is the primary backup for the foreseeable future. Hopefully he grows in this role. He will earn $1M this season and is scheduled for $1.2M next season.

    After Rudolph nobody else is under contract.
    Newly re-signed Joshua Dobbs is 1yr/$825K,(Same as released Lynch was contracted for this year) and PS QB Duck is 1yr/$143K.

    Looking at 2021 UFA QB's 2020 contracts there are 4 that fit the age and experience should the Steelers sign a FA:
    Dak Prescott 28yrs old at $31M
    Jacoby Brissett 28yrs old at $15M
    Mitch Trubisky 27yrs old at $7M
    A.J. McCarron 30yrs old at $4M

    OR via the draft, a 1st round rookie QB contract would be in the $8M-$10M per year range based on the contracts of the 2020 class.

    All this means is all the shuffling around of 3rd string QBs still leaves us with Ben and some guys we hope we don't see play a snap in 2020, and only 2 viable QBs to start the 2021 offseason with. AND $17M over the cap. (Currently.)

    I wouldn't want a single guy on that list other than Dak.

    The long term post Ben QB of the Steelers is not on the roster currently and is almost certainly suiting up for either a high school team or a college team right now.

    Re: Josh Dobbs is back!

    I'd consider Brissett as a backup at 5 mill a year .... not enough ? oh well not interested then
    Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. Eagles problem now

    Exactly. Dak at 'NOT $30M/year', Brissett at $5M would be fine, I'd even consider McCarron at $4M 5 years ago BUT he's obviously not as good as his 2015 season indicated. The talent and the money just don't line up. Back to the draft.
