Matt Waldman and Bob Harris dismiss the notion that the Steelers should consider starting Drew Allar, attributing the hype to overexcited young analysts seeking social media attention rather than legitimate NFL readiness.NegativeValueMay 11, 2026
Bob Harris argues Aller was not a strong pick at the range where the Cowboys selected him. While practice video concerns about his movement and technique work are overblown—slow movement during technique drills is normal and reflects Mike McCarthy's reprogramming of his mechanics from his previous approach, requiring deliberate repetition to internalize new technique—the underlying draft capital concern remains valid. Harris notes that every time you work on technique, you move slowly because muscle memory must absorb information gradually, similar to how elite musicians master complex skills by playing slowly first.NegativeProjectionMay 4, 2026
Bob Harris argues that the rationale to 'buy into' Drew Allar because Penn State limited him is flawed; if Penn State didn't use him to his capability, that suggests he's even less ready for the NFL, not more. Matt Waldman doesn't have a strong or even bad grade for him—the grade is that poor. Waldman expects Will Howard to start before Drew Allar and cautions that even if Allar has a good first few games, historical examples like Will Levis and Marcus Mariota show that early performance doesn't make a career; he needs 18–30 games to demonstrate his actual NFL ability. Harris advises most fantasy owners to avoid him in drafts unless they are trade-savvy GMs confident in a sell-high window, as early playing time for rookie QBs typically leads to rushed deployment and worse outcomes.
