The Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a>‘ quarterback room is a big question mark this offseason, mostly because no one knows what Aaron Rodgers is going to do.<\/p>\n

With Will Howard and Mason Rudolph, the other options, for some, the duo doesn’t inspire confidence under Mike McCarthy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Still, it would present a change from the Steelers being good enough to win nine games, but not challenge, to maybe the franchise hitting a roster reset.<\/p>\n

And for ESPN’s Matt Miller, he’s revealed that some people inside the building are big fans of Howard.<\/p>\n

“The Steelers might not have a clear-cut quarterback of the future on the roster, but one internal source said that they won’t be forced to draft one this year,” Miller wrote<\/a>. “That source noted Pittsburgh will play the board first and that Will Howard, last year’s sixth-round pick, has fans in the front office.”<\/p>\n

Is Howard the answer?<\/p>\n

Well, it appears the Steelers at least have some sort of faith that he could be.<\/p>\n

We know what Rodgers is at this stage of his career, and we know what Rudolph can bring, but we don’t really know what Howard is capable of yet.<\/p>\n

If there ever was a season for the Steelers to go with a young quarterback, it’s this one. Why? Because if it doesn’t work out and the Steelers have a poor season (4-13), they’ll have a top draft pick next offseason to take their next franchise quarterback.<\/p>\n

So, it appears that if Rodgers doesn’t return, it very well could be the Howard show in Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n
