Podcasts about Allar

Matt from Living Treasures stole the show yesterday with his snake. Jack gives his projections for the Steelers 53 man on offense, including Rodgers, Howard, and Allar at QB. 

Steve Palazzolo joins the show to talk about how great Hulk Hogan's entrance theme was, how good Sorsby can be as an NFL quarterback, if the Steelers will try and get him in the supplemental draft, if Pittsburgh should already throw in the towel with Drew Allar, who he thinks will end up drafting Sorsby, and more! Would Austin Bechtold cry if Allar got traded?

The Pittsburgh Steelers have this new program for quarterbacks. Mike McCarthy raved about it and has put some big names like Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre through the same school. Dak Prescott even developed through it. Now, it's time for Will Howard and Drew Allar, and while Allar has shown the most early progress, Howard is really their first test subject. Because he could get a shot to prove it as a starter. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, we discuss the idea of punting on an entire draft class, if the outlook of the 53-man roster highlights the missteps of the NFL Draft and making as many selections as the team did, if the game day rosters should be expanded and if inactive players should be done away with, if there's a chance Drew Allar will play this season and much more. Let's go for another Steelers Afternoon Drive and discuss all this! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hour 2 with Joe Starkey: Steelers reporter Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette joined the show. The Steelers are closing OTAs today and the young quarterbacks are getting all the reps. Ray thinks the Steelers are giving Will Howard every opportunity to win the backup job. Ray thinks Will Howard will end up on the team. Drew Allar has made "good progress" since starting his Steelers career. The Pirates have decisions to make on a multitude of players - Marcell Ozuna, Henry Davis, Dennis Santana, and Jared Triolo.

Steelers insider Mark Kaboly joined the show. Drew Allar and Will Howard are the only quarterbacks at OTAs. Rookies will be in the building next week too. He is trying to fix things with his mechanics. Mike McCarthy wants Allar and Howard to do footwork his way.

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey and Mark Kaboly: Drew Allar and Will Howard are the only quarterbacks at OTAs. Rookies will be in the building next week too. He is trying to fix things with his mechanics. Mike McCarthy wants Allar and Howard to do footwork his way. Mark Kaboly thinks the Steelers have "no choice" but to extend Porter. Mark thinks Porter is likely going to hold-in like T.J. Watt and Cam Heyward. Steelers are poised to "purge the roster of older gentleman" after this season with older players like Cam Heyward and others potentially being gone if this season goes poorly.

We take a break from sports history to talk about what is currently going on in the Pittsburgh sports scene. Did the Penguins make the right move in bringing back Evgeni Malkin? Which of the 4 Steelers QB's will be the odd man out after training camp? Can the Pirates stay in contention in a tough NL Central? We cover all of that and more in this special bonus episode of the podcast.Get our Steelers-Ravens book here!

In this hour, Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson wonder what the Steelers will do in order to make sure QBs Will Howard and Drew Allar have room to develop as backups this upcoming season. Also, Pirates' broadcaster Kevin Young comes on The Fan Hotline. May 28, 2026, 7:00 Hour

Mark Kaboly joins to discuss the different schedule with Mike McCarthy, which rookie has impressed the most, Drew Allar's reps, the offensive line alignment, Kaboly details Derrick Harmon driving a very small car, his thoughts on Malkin's return and a hockey tidbit, Dean Lowry's return, will Porter Jr or Herbig sign extensions. Matt Clement joins to discuss his big day with Butler baseball, Braxton Ashcraft's performance, Dennis Santana's outing, Bryan Reynolds' under-the-radar success, Henry Davis and if he'll continue to get chances.

Ben Roethlisberger said on his podcast that he is nervous about Drew Allar, as the Steelers are planning to completely re-teach him how to play quarterback. Ben was also not a huge fan of the Allar pick in the first place, as he liked Will Howard more and watched Allar fail in big games. Mullsy thinks that the Steelers think of Allar as a potential future contributor, given that they used decently high draft capital on him. Poni questions how long McCarthy thinks it will take to develop Drew Allar into an NFL QB. Big Ben took a subtle shot at Mason Rudolph on his podcast, saying that there was one QB in his career that said he wouldn't help him out or mentor him. Mullsy thinks that Mason Rudolph is correct in this assessment. Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Mike thinks that it is nearly a slam dunk that Mike Vrabel will be coaching the Patriots when they play the Steelers in Week 2, unless the situation somehow gets worse. Mike thinks that it is both possible for Brendan Sorsby to be playing at Texas Tech and for him to be drafted in the supplemental draft this year. Florio also says that there is going to be much investigation into the Josh Jacobs situation before anything happens.

Drew Allar is going under a total reboot courtesy of Mike McCarthy. Is that a bad sign for the rookie QB? What does it say about the teachings at Penn State? If Aaron Rodgers is their guy this year, when will we really know if this work has paid off for Allar? The guys don't want that to impact their plans in the 2027 NFL Draft.

If Aaron Rodgers is their guy this year, when will we really know if this work has paid off for Allar? The guys don't want that to impact their plans in the 2027 NFL Draft. KDKA TV's Bob Pompeani joined the show. We reacted as the Pirates defeated the Rockies, 7-2, to take the series at PNC Park. Bob credited Endy Rodriguez for his work in the first game of the season, getting 2 hits in his 2026 debut. Bob said he's not a fan of the ‘opener' method, but it worked out for Don Kelly and his club today. What do we think the future looks like for Jared Jones that is working through his rehab assignment? Attendance of over 19k today in the afternoon finale at PNC Park just days after barely 13k watched Paul Skenes dazzle. Pomp said fans have good reason to not be there in droves just yet after so much losing baseball in the last 3 decades. The guys peppered Bob on a few questions about the NFL schedule. Bucco Minute – Calls after the Pirates 7-2 victory over the Rockies.

The Steelers will play the Saints in Paris this season. The estimated cost for this whole trip is about $4000-$5000. The guys think that there will be a bunch of Steelers fans that make the trip out to France, and that it will be a similar crowd to the games that are played in London. Donny is hearing that the Steelers are rumored to be playing on Christmas against the Buccaneers in Tampa Bay. This feels like a weird game to be played on Christmas, at least according to the guys. The Steelers have apparently uninstalled basically every one of Drew Allar's QB mechanics. Allar is moving through drills at half-speed right now. Poni thinks that Allar will be QB3, and that Will Howard will have to prove that he is ready to be Aaron Rodgers' backup. Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Aaron Rodgers came to Pittsburgh without telling anybody within the Steelers organization just to play golf. The Steelers never even knew where he was. Mike thinks that Rodgers is overestimating how much interest other organizations would have in him if their QB position were to become open. It is also obvious that the Cardinals are not interested in Rodgers. Florio says that the Steelers are not realistically built to actually compete this year. Mike thinks that there will be a lot of Steelers fans that go to France this year.

Aaron Rodgers fooled a lot of people into thinking he was still an elite QB after week 1 last year. Is there really still a point in Rodgers returning to Pittsburgh this year. Poni does not think the Steelers will tell the truth about anything Aaron Rodgers related right now. He thinks that they are scared that they will offend Rodgers. Mullsy thinks that this is pathetic on the Steelers' end. ALL ACCESS w/ Aditi – Aditi thinks it weird that Rodgers would come to Pittsburgh and not meet with anybody in the Steelers organization. She questions if he was ever actually here at all. She also says that part of the reason why the Steelers hired McCarthy is his ability to develop quarterbacks. Allar said at the combine that Mike McCarthy was the most interesting interaction he had. Donny Football Debrief – The Packers and Rams will play on Netflix on Thanksgiving Eve.

Joe is sick of all of the Aaron Rodgers nonsense. Do people still care? Calls on Rodgers. We dive into 18 wheeler truck drivers. Did anyone actually see Rodgers this weekend? An expert on the Rodgers/McCarthy dynamic doesn't think this will end well. Callers aren't happy about Rodgers. Another truck driver calls who delivers diesel fuel. Nick Farabaugh joins to discuss Tony Hawk, how the Green Bay tenure ended between Rodgers and McCarthy, what's the alternative to bringing back Rodgers, revisiting how badly the Steelers fared in the first quarter of playoff games under Tomlin, can Allar become clutch if he wasn't born with that trait, where could the rookie offensive lineman factor in. Could the Steelers defense be top 10? What does Jamel Dean add to the secondary? Will this be Herbig's final season with the Steelers? John Perrotto discusses the Pirates good start, if the team is good enough to make the playoffs, how good Konnor Griffin can be, is Cruz inching closer to reaching his potential, the job that Don Kelly has done in his first year, the three greatest Pirates of all-time (Wagner, Clemente, Waner), what is Henry Davis' future? Kyle Dubas spoke today and it certainly sounds like Malkin will be back. How does Malkin's situation compare to Aaron Rodgers and Andrew McCutchen. Did the fans help shape the decision to likely bring him back? Callers are happy to bring back Geno. What would the Pens look like if they kept Jake Guentzel. Michael McKenry hops on to discuss the return of Jared Jones, what some of the relievers need to clean up, if Joey Bart is emerging as the best option at catcher, why Cruz is thriving against lefties this year, is Pittsburgh becoming a hotbed for baseball talent, is Skenes going to finish with a sub 2.00 ERA again? What can Bubba Chandler learn from Skenes? Is it possible for the Pirates to sign Skenes? We listen to Kyle Dubas' comments. Famous sports birthdays and deaths.

Mike McCarthy has had nothing but praise for Drew Allar thus far. Poni says that he is starting to come around on McCarthy, although he is not all the way there yet. Mike Defabo said that Mike McCarthy gave more feedback to Drew Allar than Mike Tomlin ever did to Ben Roethlisberger in his career. Poni thinks that this is because Tomlin just did not know how to develop quarterbacks. Mullsy originally gave the McCarthy hire an F-, but he has since updated that grade to a C.

Josh Rowntree joins to discuss Aaron Rodgers' whereabouts and his golf abilty, if it's even worth waiting for Rodgers, his reaction to rebuilding Allar from scratch, the Pirates tough loss at San Fran and O'Hearn's defensive blunder, if Don Kelly getting too much heat, what he'd address to fix the Pirates. Dennis Santana has not been good enough. Aroldis Chapman could be a target.

Kaboly had high praise for Allar's arm. Allar's awkward footwork drill shouldn't be a concern. We're sick of Aaron Rodgers. More calls on Drew Allar and if the Steelers could take another QB next draft. 

Mark Kaboly sticks around to talk about Drew Allar's early showing. The Steelers have found talent at QB, and hope that pairing Allar with a proven QB guru. It seems like Allar is the long-term plan. Joe thnks back to Terry Smith's comments about how PSU didn't always set up Allar for success. A caller thinks Allar didn't have the talent around him.

Mike McCarthy raved about Drew Allar on Saturday, saying that he made a very good first impression. There is definitely some excitement and buzz surrounding the Steelers third-round pick. Poni is not a fan of the Steelers first-round pick Max Iheanachor, as he thinks the Steelers have to teach him how to play his own position. Does Mike McCarthy deserve any credit for developing Aaron Rodgers? Mullsy says that he should take credit, even if he doesn't deserve it. Mark Kaboly was in awe watching Drew Allar throw the football. More on the Steelers rookie orientation. Calls. Donny Football Debrief – More NFL schedule leaks for 2026.

Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Gerry Dulac and Ray Fittipaldo report from the team's rookie minicamp, where NFL draft selections including Max Iheanachor, Germie Bernard, Drew Allar, Gennings Dunker and Daylen Everette made their first appearances in uniform. How did Allar look as he looks to compete with last year's rookie QB, Will Howard? How will Bernard fill out the receiving corps next to DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr. and Roman Wilson? And what impressions did Iheanachor and Dunker make as they look to find playing time next to established veterans Troy Fautanu, Mason McCormick and Zach Frazier on the offensive line? Our duo tackles those questions, plus the latest on QB Aaron Rodgers, who still has not signed with the team despite reportedly meeting with team brass including GM Omar Khan and coach Mike McCarthy.

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.

Hour 1 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Bubba Chandler walked six batters and leads MLB in walks. Joe thought Chandler may have taken a step forward though. Bryan Reynolds and Oneil Cruz are still having issues defensively. The Toronto Maple Leafs have won the draft lottery to pick McKenna. Bob doesn't think it's a slam dunk that it's McKenna.

Bubba Chandler walked six batters and leads MLB in walks. Joe thought Chandler may have taken a step forward though. Chandler responded well by not allowing a run in his final four frames. Carmen Mlodzinski has been better than Chandler, but Joe thinks Chandler's cushion needs to be bigger than Mlodzinski. Bryan Reynolds and Oneil Cruz are still having issues defensively.

Gerry Dulac thinks that Will Howard could potentially be a cut candidate for the Steelers this year. This comes after he said that he thinks Will Howard is a future starter in the NFL. Mullsy thinks that the Steelers have been lying about their opinion of Will Howard this entire time. Poni thinks that the Steelers would not have drafted Drew Allar if they liked Will Howard this much. It seems like most Steeler fans prefer Will Howard to Drew Allar at this point. The guys question why this is the case, as Allar was drafted much higher and was labeled a much better prospect coming out of school. Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joins the show. Mike says that the Cardinals are the only other viable option for Aaron Rodgers, if he wishes to continue playing football. Aaron Rodgers' agent is not thrilled that he only played for 13 million dollars last year, so it is possible that there is an ongoing contract dispute between Rodgers and the Steelers. Mike thinks that Rodgers loves the attention that this ordeal is causing, even though he says that he doesn't. Mike thinks that there is a chance that Mike McCarthy does not want Aaron Rodgers on the team. 

In This Episode: On this edition of The Audible, Cecil Lammey and Sigmund Bloom turn their attention to the AFC North and break down how the 2026 NFL Draft reshaped one of football's toughest divisions. Did the Browns finally add the right weapons to unlock their passing game. Did the Ravens reload the way they always seem to. And how much better did the Bengals get around their franchise quarterback. But the biggest headline might belong to Pittsburgh. The Steelers stunned the league by selecting Drew Allar at quarterback — a move that has fans buzzing and analysts wondering what the long‑term plan really is. Was it a reach, a reset, or a rare chance they simply couldn't pass up.   watch on YouTube -> https://youtu.be/nvtNETYl5ss 

Ben Cherington's stock is on the rise. The difference from a year ago at this time is remarkable. Skenes, Griffin, and Seth Hernandez all seem like A+ picks. Even Bob Nutting is looking smart for keeping Cherington. Are we convinced the Pirates are a good team? Callers chime in on Cherington and are relatively positive. Cherington failed last year, but the good outweighs the bad right now. Don Kelly has done a good job and is inching close to .500. Another caller is not willing to give Cherington credit just yet. Nick Farabaugh joins to discuss the Pirates. Joe did a Twitter poll about who the people want as Steelers QB in 2026, and it's Will Howard leading the way. Why isn't Allar getting as much support? Why are the Steelers aggravating Aaron Rodgers? Did Rodgers have any influence over the draft? Can the Bengals make a huge jump? The Athletic thinks they could win the Super Bowl. Nick can see Cincy winning the AFC North. What could the Ravens look like? What happens at QB wtih the Browns? How does Nick rank the AFC North? Nick predicts Aaron Rodgers shows up just before mandatory mini-camp (May 30th perhaps). Do fans want Malkin back? Does he deserve a farewell tour? He led the Pens in points per game this season. Why don't some view Malkin's career similarly to Crosby's? Callers give their take on if they want Malkin back. A caller with a name that seems like a prank calls in and it's not a prank. Will Sid sign an extension? Joe is curious about AI. The Limitless Express with Sean - Don Kelly suspended, the Steelers mocked to take another QB in 2027, Oneil Cruz has an MVP candidate. Michael McKenry joins to discuss Bubba Chandler's struggles, the suspenions of Chris Devenski and Don Kelly, his expeiernces getting thrown at as a batter, Konnor Griffin heating up - what adjustments he's made, Cruz as an MVP candidate, how the Pirates have used the ABS system. Overtime playoff hockey is always good, but Joe would make a tweak. Does Tarik Skubal's injury impact Skenes' contract. A question about Kenny Pickett.

He thinks Will Howard is "a backup at best" and doesn't have the fluid athleticism of Allar. Mike wondered why Allar never took a Josh Allen jump. He needs to be better in the pocket. Mike likes the Max Iheanachor and Germie Bernard picks. He doesn't think there's a big drop-off from Bernard to Lemon.

Hour 3 with Andrew Fillipponi and Chris Mueller: Garrett Podell has the Steelers quarterback room as the 3rd worst in the NFL. NFL Draft analyst Mike Renner of CBS Sports joined the show. Renner's 2026 QB class: Mendoza, Simpson, Cole Payton, Drew Allar. He thinks Will Howard is "a backup at best" and doesn't have the fluid athleticism of Allar. Kendrick Bourne now plays for the Arizona Cardinals and tweeted for Aaron Rodgers to play for the Cardinals.

Mark Kaboly wrote that Drew Allar is Mike McCarthy's hand-picked quarterback. Poni thinks he will get a much better chance than Will Howard to be their next quarterback. Mullsy thinks Allar is a better prospect than Howard.

Hour 2 with Joe Starkey: Ray thinks Will Howard is more ready for games than Drew Allar because of practices last year and getting NFL reps. Ray still thinks the Steelers could draft a quarterback next year, but higher than 21. Ray thinks it's 75-80% that Aaron Rodgers does sign. Ray said that you have to leave the door open that Rodgers may not come back. Ray see the upside with Allar. What are you worried about with the Pirates?

Joe said he would side with Drew Allar, but he can change his mind. Ben Roethlisberger said he thinks Allar had a lot of hype behind him and Allar never jumped off the page to him. He never had a "woah" moment with Allar. Ben is first going with Will Howard. Allar and Mason Rudolph were taken with the same pick in the third round. Will Howard vs. Drew Allar.

On the Tuesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to react to the team's selection of Penn State QB Drew Allar in the third round of the NFL draft. Did GM Omar Khan and coach Mike McCarthy signal intent to use Allar as a starter by visiting with him both at the NFL combine and in Pittsburgh before selecting him at No. 76 overall with the first of three third-round picks? Or is he destined to be a career backup behind Aaron Rodgers, Mason Rudolph, Will Howard or someone else? And was he really the third best QB in this draft behind Fernando Mendonza and Ty Simpson, but ahead of names like Cade Klubnik, Taylen Green and Garrett Nussmeier? How how is the perception of his selection being impacted by other perceived development projects like Max Iheanachor? Our duo tackles those questions; ponders the long-term viability of late-round draft picks like Gabe Rubio, Robert Spears-Jennings and Eli Heidenreich; and analyze the undrafted free agent class that so far includes names like Devan Boykin, Chamon Metayer, Kevin Jobity Jr. and Lake McRee.

What's next for Will Howard and Mason Rudolph now that Allar has joined them in the QB room for now? Will Aaron Rodgers finally join the roster formally soon?
