The Pittsburgh Steelers are rolling this offseason with an interesting quarterback room. Perhaps their most intriguing room in years. There are two veterans and two recent draft picks, and all four have their own reasons to stick on the roster going into the regular season. But one is going to miss the cut, according to Steelers beat writer Brain Batko.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d be stunned if they don\u2019t keep 3,\u201d Batko wrote Friday in his chat with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette<\/a>.<\/p>\n Batko is probably right that only three will make it. The Steelers do have a lot of positional versatility on their roster, but it\u2019s still a tough decision<\/a> to cut depth in one area in favor of keeping four quarterbacks when the latter two will probably never see the field.<\/p>\n It\u2019s an interesting situation because the QB1 and QB3 roles already feel set. Aaron Rodgers is going to be the starter. Drew Allar should be QB3, as he\u2019s got a long road of development ahead<\/a>. Then it\u2019s Will Howard and Mason Rudolph battling for that backup role. The loser will probably miss out on the 53-man roster.<\/p>\n If Batko had to predict, he thinks Howard wins the backup role.<\/p>\n \u201cMy post-draft roster projections had it 8-18-15 [Rodgers-Howard-Allar] and I\u2019m sticking to that,\u201d Batko wrote.<\/p>\n Both Howard and Rudolph have arguments in their favor. For Howard, it\u2019s the idea of looking toward the future. He had a nice run in training camp last year and has reportedly looked sharp<\/a> during OTAs. If he has any chance to become the Steelers\u2019 quarterback of the future, Pittsburgh is better off letting him take second-team reps behind Rodgers.<\/p>\n
