Rivera should’ve been more patient with Haskins.. lol.

They still might might draft someone too. Rivera is one of those old-school defensive coaches, like Cowher, who thinks QB's don't need over-emphasized. Good luck with that attitude in this day and age. Or heck, even 20 years ago. The Steelers are the perfect example of how having a superior D and rushing game usually has you coming up short over 90% of the time if you don't have a franchise QB. Only the 2000 Ravens and 2002 Bucs defied that trend, that that was two decades ago.

Who is going to be the Colts QB now? Teammates must really hate playing for him.

This won't necessarily stop them from taking a QB early in round 1, IMO.

It probably will unless they pick the developmental QB / Project.

Saw a tweet that they're targeting Garoppolo, which would be awesome for the Steelers.

Unfortunately, that pretty much leaves us with Tyrod, Brissett, or Bridgewater.

only if we don't draft a QB this year and need an average veteran...

As a side note, Bridgewater's underrated. Give him a line and this team would win 12 games - and a playoff game. He's very Dilfer-esque - not going to WIN a lotta games for ya, but isn't going to lose them either. Easily my top pick of the Mariota, Tyrod, etc group.

I think that's the group we were looking at from the beginning. Maybe MM too.

Just the internet tried to make people think that AR was coming here.

Bridgewater is Mason with a tan.. lol. No thanks.

Dude is a bit too safe for me.

rumors are they are making a play for Trubisky

There is not an NFL QB in the league today (or within the past 5 years) who isn't currently being linked to the Steelers.

he's smarter... he undertands playbooks and does a significantly better job with presnap reads.

And to be clear, the only way I'd even want any of those guys (including Bridgewater) is if they DON'T take a QB in the draft. At that point, ya gotta fill the roster with someone to be Mason's backup.

Theres probably a better shot we end up with Heineke.

I don't disagree with this sentiment. But the issue is that the way the NFL calendar is set up, we'll probably have to decide on a UFA QB before the draft. Unless we decide to bring in whatever is left after everyone else is already signed. Which I won't mind because I really think most of the UFAs won't offer too much of an upgrade over Mason and I'd rather use the extra cap space to make the team better.

Heineke makes me think of what I said about Mariota. You watch him and he makes a few plays that make you wonder how he was on the scrap heap. Then you see him make a couple of bone headed plays or miss a wide open receiver and it answers your question.

regarding Mariotta. I watched that game and had the same thought. He balled out but then he made RZ mistakes that killed drives.

But here is the thing, it happens.. even with the best QB’s. Do you let him play through these mistakes or give up on him? I think a Mariotta can overcome those things if he can stay healthy.

Not saying Mariotta is my favorite but I am intrigued by his mobility. I would be more excited with him than a Trubisky, Minshew or Bridgwater.. or gulp, Tyrod Taylor.

I don't think it happens because I don't think we want to go through the sexual assault stuff again...but this is currently on the front page of the Depot

A guy can dream.

We signed Vick, who did time, so anything is possible but I agree the Steelers will pass on Watson.

If Watson's criminal charges are dropped by the DA this coming Friday, Watson will be one of the most pursued QB' s ever in the NFL.

Lol, he makes Alex Smith look like Dan Marino. Never won 12 games, went 7-7 with a Denver team that could run the ball, had dynamic WRs, and ranked 3rd in scoring defense.

He blows.
