And better players around him. <\/p>\n
Allar went 11 of 23 for 110 yards against the Jets, which looks pretty rough on a stat sheet. It looked worse in person, but not because of Allar. <\/p>\n
The Steelers’ third and fourth-string wide receivers probably dropped half of their passes. Allar was slinging it, making pretty accurate passes for the most part. His wideouts weren’t helping him, leaving pass after pass on the ground as the team tried to mount a comeback. <\/p>\n
Now, It’s Time to See What Allar Can Really Do<\/p>\n
The decision on whether Howard makes the 53-man roster probably hasn’t been made yet, even if it’s being reported that it is. <\/a>The Steelers don’t need to see more of him as a starter against the Bills, though. <\/p>\n If he’s going to make the team, it’s an internal decision that’s likely been decided for some time. If he’s not, it’s because of his play against the Jets. Either way, the Bills game probably doesn’t mean too much. <\/p>\n What they could do is find out if Allar’s upside is as real as it appears. <\/a>They could give themselves a true understanding of where the third-round rookie is heading into the regular season. <\/p>\n It won’t influence their decision on Allar’s placement within the roster or even his place on the depth chart. All it is is establishing a baseline before he doesn’t play again until next preseason. <\/p>\n It’s the last step for Allar in his first summer in the NFL. One that could get the Steelers excited or give them a real outlook on the rookie. Either way, it’s the obvious choice for how they should approach the Bills game. <\/p>\n
