Progress Over Hype: Pitt's QB Battle Won't Be Decided Day by Day

Pitt's quarterback race centers on Mason Rudolph, Will Howard and Drew Allar. The author argues the focus should be on progression from the start of camp to the Aug 30 cutdown date, not daily practice results. Allar impresses with arm talent and poise, while Howard shows improving accuracy and touch but needs to drive the ball downfield and fix exchange issues. With three preseason games ahead, coaches will judge by performance from opener to finale, and a frontrunner is not yet clear. It could even require keeping four quarterbacks if a roster move frees a spot.
