Will Steelers' Drew Allar, Will Howard repeat patterns of past QB battles? Aaron Rodgers deadline?

from Post-Gazette Sports Network: Pittsburgh Steelers, Pirates, Penguins and more · host Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

On the Wednesday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edger Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner and guest Christopher Carter ponder lessons the Steelers can learn from past competitions between young QBs. They reference colleague Ray Fittipaldo's story in which he looked back on battles between Brian Brohm and Matt Flynn with the packers; Kirk Cousins and Robert Griffin III with the Commanders; and Brock Purdy and Trey Lance with the 49ers. Can Drew Allar and/or Will Howard replicate the success Flynn, Cousins and Purdy had as later round QBs? Does Howard have the historical edge as the player drafted lower? And what does Allar need to show at rookie minicamp alongside names like Max Iheanachor, Germie Bernard and Gennings Dunker? Our duo tackles those questions, then talks Aaron Rodgers future after colleague Gerry Dulac reported this week that the patience of Steelers brass including GM Omar Khan and coach Mike McCarthy is wearing thin with the former MVP.
