OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: Off Season We dont need a QB Edition

[Ryder71]

Stephen A Smith said he’s getting the Colin Kaepernick treatment

Honestly, it does feel like a bit of collusion here. Teams don't want that arrogance and that drama.

 

[WickedWrister]

Milroe to SEA bahahaha

 

[bigdaddyk88]

You can take Sanders out of the equation entirely and my question is still being asked.

They need a developmental QB this year that could possibly develop into a starter. They have literally no one in the system and they can't just rely on hoping they can get a guy in 2026.

Every Qb left is a backup Qb.
Howard is a mobile Mason
Milroe is gone

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Well Johnson was a guy I sure didn’t want but I’m prepared to hope to have been wrong - it wouldn’t be the first time - and for him to light it up.

 

[Ryder71]

Milroe to SEA bahahaha

 

[Booker T]

I'm hoping Sanders slides to day 3 for the laughs, but I do think the Raiders use one of those 3rds they picked up from trading down to take him.

I'm betting on McCord for the Steelers 4th round pick.

McCord is one of the worst available QB choices. He had to transfer out of a stacked Ohio State team because he was so bad. Hell, choose the guy that replaced him and won the championship w/ MVP, Will Howard.

 

[Shaftception]

Well there goes Milroe, I can only be dissapointed from here out if they go QB. Oh well.

Again, for the millionth time you've posted this in response to me, they need to take someone that could potentially develop into that. Not drafting anyone guarantees you won't get a starter. Drafting someone at least gives you a chance, even if it's slim.

 

[xlm34]

Welp so much for that. Just wait until like the 5th or 6th and take whichever QB is leftover. McCord in the 4th would be a bit of a buzz kill with how this draft is going so far.

 

[JTG]

Very happy with another Khan/Weidl draft.

 

[JTG]

I think McCord is a better QB than Sanders.

 

[Empoleon8771]

McCord is one of the worst available QB choices. He had to transfer out of a stacked Ohio State team because he was so bad. Hell, choose the guy that replaced him and won the championship w/ MVP, Will Howard.

McCord transferring is completely irrelevant, he had a good year with Syracuse and has the best arm talent of any QB left at this point. He's completely immobile but he has the best arm of guys still available.

They need a developmental QB this year that could possibly develop into a starter. They have literally no one in the system and they can't just rely on hoping they can get a guy in 2026. Even if it's not Sanders, they need to take either Milroe or McCord with a day 3 pick, just to have a guy with the tools to potentially develop into something.

If they need that (they don't) then they need to make a trade. Because there's likely no one available to draft who will become better than even Rudolph. Maybe Howard could.

I’m not a Howard hater but yeah

 

[wheelz87]

Kipers tears giving me the strength to stay awake

 

[Snooki Stackhouse]

I'm still in awe they retired his number at Colorado

I liked what I saw of Howard. I know it is obviously skewed by the dominant program around him. But I would be good with him competing against Rudolph

 

[WickedWrister]

Let Ewers learn how to play with shitty footwork from the OG, Aaron Rodgers

 

[Shaftception]

There probably is some of that causing such a fall, but his stock was artificially elevated to begin with.

He has no elite potential physical traits, he's not tall, has a mediocre arm, is not a threat in the running game.

He's accurate, and yet doesn't throw guys open, and played in a unique offense that is not a guarantee to translate to the NFL.

To me, there's plenty of football reasons why he's not worth drafting highly, before ever getting to the ego or family aspect of it, though I don't disagree that's likely a decent part of it.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I was going to note that my only major issue with Howard is his age, but I didn't realize he's only a year older than McCord and only 7 months older than Sanders. For some reason, I thought he was older than that.

 

[Booker T]

McCord transferring is completely irrelevant, he had a good year with Syracuse and has the best arm talent of any QB left at this point. He's completely immobile but he has the best arm of guys still available.

McCord transferring is not irrelevant, he transferred because Day told him he wouldn't be the starting QB... because he couldn't succeed on a team with one of the best WR cores (Harrison Jr., Egbuka, Tate, etc).

 

[Empoleon8771]

McCord transferring is not irrelevant, he transferred because Day told him he wouldn't be the starting QB... because he couldn't succeed on a team with WR core (Harrison Jr., Egbuka, Tate, etc).

And then he went to Syracuse and had a good year

That's a very fair way to look at it, I agree.

 

[Snooki Stackhouse]

Dillon Gabriel? In the third?

 

[Empoleon8771]

Lmao what is going on at this point
