Mike McCarthy avoids "hypotheticals" about QB depth chart if Aaron Rodgers returns

If Rodgers comes back, the Steelers will have a crowded quarterback room.

The Steelers have made it clear that the decision to devote a third-round pick to former Penn State quarterback Drew Allar has no bearing on the looming decision to be made, eventually, by Aaron Rodgers. But here's the real question. If Rodgers returns, what are they going to do with Allar, Mason Rudolph, and 2025 sixth-rounder Will Howard?

"These are all questions, answers, hypotheticals that really, it wonโ€™t change what Iโ€™ve already said ," McCarthy said Saturday, via Brooke Pryor of ESPN, when asked about the depth chart behind Rodgers. "I will coach the hell out of that room. I have a lot of confidence.

I have history and experience that I will give everything I can to any quarterback in that room. . .

. We want to grow the quarterback room. We don't want to just rely on one quarterback.
