Summary

Analyst Chris Simms doubts rookie QB Drew Allar's potential
Simms suggests Allar could be cut if game doesn't improve
Steelers may keep Rudolph as backup over rookie QBs

Pittsburgh Steelers' second-year quarterback Will Howard and rookie Drew Allar are reportedly facing a significant quarterback battle. This comes even with the expected arrival of veteran Aaron Rodgers. The Steelers drafted Allar in the third-round of the 2026 NFL draft, hoping new head coach Mike McCarthy can develop him into a franchise player.

However, NBC NFL analyst Chris Simms expressed strong skepticism regarding Allar's readiness. Simms stated he wouldn't be surprised if the Steelers released Allar during the summer due to serious flaws in his throwing motion and overall game. The team might find Allar too raw even for a third-string position, leading them to retain veteran Mason Rudolph as the number two quarterback.
