Pittsburgh Steelers could learn the hard way: 3 QBs mean none
On Friday night against the New York Jets, second-year quarterback out of Ohio State Will Howard will get the nod
The Pittsburgh Steelers have three quarterbacks vying for the starting position this season, with Aaron Rodgers, Mason Rudolph, Will Howard, and Drew Allar all in the mix. Rodgers, the team's veteran leader, has announced that this will be his final NFL season. As a result, the coaching staff, led by Mike McCarthy, are carefully evaluating the younger quarterbacks to determine who will be the backup for Rodgers during the regular season.
The preseason has provided an opportunity for the team to test the capabilities of the three younger quarterbacks. However, the decision becomes more complex when all three are considered. In fact, McCarthy stated that he feels confident about both Will Howard and Drew Allar, expressing a desire to maximize playing time for both in preparation for the upcoming season.
The challenge lies in the fact that when a team has multiple quarterbacks competing for the same spot, it becomes increasingly difficult for any one of them to stand out. As the adage goes, "When you have three quarterbacks, you have none."
The Steelers' preseason efforts have highlighted the strengths of each quarterback, with all three leading drives downfield, scoring points, and displaying composure under pressure. While the competition is fierce, it is a necessary step in identifying the best candidate to take over for Rodgers. The question remains, though: will the Steelers learn the hard way that with three quarterbacks, none of them will emerge as the clear-cut starter?
