you know, they're going to win 9 or 10 games.

They might actually have a losing record, but I will tell you guys again, and I've always been very consistent on this.

The Steelers are not going to try to rebuild, but if it happens organically, hey, that's how they got better off this burger 20 years ago.

So I don't know that that would be the worst thing either if they did, you know, go 6-11 or 5-12 or something like that.

That's actually...

How you get good players when you pick in the top ten.

I saw certain things.

I mean, and this was evident in the spring, even in OTAs, like rookie minicamp and OTAs, even like when the vets came in, his command of the huddle, his leadership was really, really good.

Like the way he would get to play, present the play, you know, he was very detailed.

He didn't make a lot of mistakes.

Those are things that I think are really impressive about Will Howard.

But when you ask me, have I seen enough to think that he's going to be a good NFL quarterback?

No, I mean, he just, he hasn't played a game yet, not even a preseason game, Joe.

So you can look good in practice and he certainly did, but

You've got to show up when the lights come on, and I think that's something that we're just not going to know until we see it.

Obviously, preseason is different from the regular season, but I think in this case, with Will missing the entire preseason last year, this is going to be a big deal for him this summer when he actually goes out there and gets to play in games.

Well, Artie used to give us, like, some history lessons.

Like, he was binging the military history every Thursday when he would meet with us.

John, who was a good guy, too.

I enjoyed getting to know John.
