Predictions for all the QB scenarios

[DesertSteel]

This article predicts all of the quarterback moves for this offseason. Kind of interesting. The articles has the Steelers signing Jacoby Brisset for 2 years $10M and drafting Sam Howell at 20. I could live with that outcome.

Yep. I think they have to draft a QB this draft. Then bring in a veteran 'mentor' type from FA. If Howell is the pick, Brissett makes sense from a mobile QB perspective. Plus Brissett probably upgrades a MR/Haskins QB room.

Mason Rudolph
Dwayne Haskins
Draft pick
Veteran FA

Nice cheap move that will get us nowhere. If we’re going to draft Howell then just play him. Don’t get a veteran stooge

I agree.

plus Jacoby Brissett sucks.

[Mojouw]

That would be about as ideal as it gets. Although you take 4 QBs into the off-season programs and camp....that's gonna be very little reps for someone...likely Howell.

I’d rather just draft Howell and keep Rudolph. Why the need for Brissett?

So many people want to replace Mason Rudolph with other Mason Rudolphs.

Rather use that money on O-line or D-line

or CB, S, ILB, and WR.

we have a lot of needs...

Not really, we need an OL or 2 ideally, an ILB and a CB, possibly a DL.

[Dwinsgames]

I say Draft Howell and take that 10 million ( over 2 years used for Brissett ) and spend it towards a D lineman that can stop the run

or a OL. I honestly don't think Brissett offers much more than Rudolph does at this point.

better mobility but still sucks and suck is suck at the end of the day

If this is the cost of Rodgers ... HARD PASS (and Steelers will never do it):

Broncos' offer: 2022 first-rounder (No. 9), 2023 first-rounder, 2022 second-rounder, 2022 third-rounder and a WR/TE from current Denver roster for Rodgers.


I hope Rodgers stays and plays his last year in GB so he's a UFA in 2023. That is the only way I ever see him coming here.

Rodgers would be foolish to go to Denver - ownership for sale, in a division with the chiefs, o line is a mess. Minnesota is a better option, that’s more of a complete team, or just staying in GB. If he likes warm weather….TB

Is the choice between Howell and Linderbaum? I suppose we could always pickup Jensen in FA. But we’ll need a tackle too. My concern for Howell is that he’s on the short side , he’s going to get a lot of passes batted down in the pocket.

He has a high release though and that really helps negates the height problem that you might see with Kyler Murray.

[Born2Steel]

MR, Haskins, and a rookie.....MAYBE they could use a Charlie Batch in that room.

you guys do realize cutting rudolf is an option if they bring in another vet. in fact that is what i would do. bring in another guy and have a legit 3 way competition for 2 spots. if they can get someone better than rudolf for near the same amount then do it. rudolf is a 4 million cap hit. if they can get an upgrade for 5-7 million and cut rudolf then great.

Yes. But that has not been the Steelers way. Rudolph will get his chance in TC to compete for a job. Whether that is starter or backup are both on the table. MR being here through TC is pretty much a given. IF he were to be cut at the end of TC how much does that save?

only 1 million is guaranteed so they save 3. of course he should be allowed to compete. same with haskins. keep the best 2. haskins tender offer is not guaranteed money.

[ETL]

Could we get Howell and Linderbaum? Can Steelers trade back into the end of first round and take Howell or Linderbaum if he is still there ? That will get me excited … somewhat.

[that1guy]

The Steelers are reported to covet Malik Willis over any QB at this point, whether he's available at 20 is another story but my concern with him is his lack of experience playing against Top college defenses. If available I'd take Pickett, the guy has a ton of upside and goes to his 2nd and 3rd reads instead of packing it in and running it like Willis.

[Born2Steel]

IF....The Steelers do not take a QB at 20....Mason Rudolph is QB1 in the clubhouse. The Steelers will definitely NEED to take a speedy WR earlier than projected to push the Safeties out of the box. This would give MR a deep threat to throw to as well as help open run lanes for Harris. Also if taking this route, the middle of the defense will require immediate upgrades.

No matter who the QB is, it looks like Canada is the OC

which means you need an RPO QB as his system is said to be chocked full of them albeit we have yet to truly see them

Russell Wilson would be ideal if it happened. I would guess it’s probably going to be MR and Howell or Willis, maybe a vet like Marriota added also. For the record, Canada’s play calls have sucked from what I’ve seen so far and he should’ve been let go, pathetic scoring until Ben took over in 4th quarters. He couldn’t adapt to what we had this last season. Unimaginative, I predict his playcalls will not look much better this next season

they need a vet’s presence

i dont understand why people say canada runs an RPO heavy system. i just dont see it. does he run RPO's ? sure but it's a staple like other teams.i also dont get the need for a mobile QB talk either. here are 3 different canada coached teams.
