Steelers Shouldn't Rush Drew Allar, Will Howard to Start, Trust Mike McCarthy's Development Coaching

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have two project quarterbacks in Drew Allar and Will Howard, but they shouldn't feel rushed to start them. Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette argues why the Steelers should wait and let both their young quarterbacks in Allar and Howard develop and adjust for a year so they don't ruin them by throwing them into the fire. Whether Aaron Rodgers shows up or not, the Steelers could use a more developed version of both quarterbacks to battle as potential starters in 2027 against even a first round pick quarterback. Chris also takes your questions on the Locked on Steelers call-in line. Did Omar Khan strategize to get better value with Max Iheanachor and Germie Bernard than picking KC Concepcion or Omar Cooper and resorting to a later round offensive tackle? Could Steelers fans be unfair towards Iheanachor because of how the situation played out with Makai Lemon? And which college quarterbacks does Christopher Carter have his eye on next season for a chance at becoming a much stronger NFL Draft quarterback class?
