Drew Allar didn't have a night that equaled his electric debut, either, but anyone who watched will tell you his 11-of-23 stat line is not indicative of how he played. He had the play of the night for the Steelers, completing a 38-yard bomb to Lake McRee downfield after escaping pressure

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Allar's six receiver drops masked strong play; adjusted line would be 17-of-23, 180 yards.

Drew Allar's 11-of-23 stat line significantly underrepresents his actual performance; the source counted six drops by receivers (Joaquin Davis, Jakobie Keeney-James twice, Lake McRee, Jaheim Bell, and Lance Mason). Adjusting for these drops, Allar's line would have been 17-of-23 for 180 yards. He had the play of the night—a 38-yard bomb to Lake McRee after escaping pressure—and fit a tight-window 17-yard pass to Isaiah Winstead. The source recommends starting him in the preseason finale against Buffalo with better receivers like Germie Bernard and Roman Wilson.
