Steelers players out for Friday

[BurnNChinn]

Well guess that means no Darnold? What you guys think?

Darnold needs reps

I totally agree think he should have played at least a couple series last week and a little over quarter this week. They treat him like he is better than Tom Brady imo kinda weird.

[shaqattaq]

I still think we see Darnold for at least a quarter, if not the whole half.

BTW, Haskins ain't half bad.

Probably better than are so called backups

[CarolinaLivin]

Are they playing most of their Defensive Starters? I think that'll have more of an impact on Darnold playing

[MasterAwesome]

If Darnold is truly being "coddled", then the Steelers dialing things back and resting their starters (primarily the defensive ones) would probably make Rhule more encouraged to play Darnold.

Then Newton said this:

We’ll see I guess.

0-3 

Tomlin about to have Haskins look like Mahomes...

The huddle Saturday morning: hot topic: QB Controversy, is Dwayne better than Sam??? 

[kungfoodude]

I don't think who plays for the Steelers will have much impact on us. Darnold is likely to play this game. I suspect how much will be determined by how much of our offense is playing, as well.

If Haskins looks like Mahomes against the starters I would say that's much more of a negative for our defense than anything to do with Darnold, but its preseason regardless so it wouldnt nesscesarily correlate regardless.  I also think it's funny you mention that since going by your PJ posts you would be the one posting it if anyone did.

[Zod]

Darnold should play the entire half, maybe more if they are playing the scrubs.

What do you mean?  Last time I checked, QBs play against defenses, not offenses.  Who on their defense is pulled out?
 

Sam needs the reps with his first team offense, or the little girls will be screaming how much he’s coddled.  Lord spare us all.  

[TheMostInterestingMan]

I really do not understand the logic of this place. Why would that effect Darnold? 
 

Darnold knows the speed of the NFL. He’s been playing in this league for three years. That won’t be new to him. He needs reps to knock some rust off but it isn’t like we are throwing a rookie into his first NFL game week one with barely any preseason snaps. 
 

Like him or not (and there are fair reasons not to) he’s an experienced QB in the league. Experienced doesn’t mean good. But I’m really not worried about this situation and I’m really not worried if the Steelers play their 2s against him.
